De Blasio Says ‘Human Reality’ Is Workers Will Comply With Vaccine Mandate Rather Than Lose Pay
The Epoch Times ^ | October 30, 2021 | Tom Ozimek

Posted on 10/30/2021 7:42:09 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he expects to see a rise in vaccinations among municipal workers in line with his mandate, telling reporters that the “human reality” is city employees will decide to get the shot rather than face unpaid leave.

De Blasio made the remarks during an Oct. 28 press conference, on the eve of a looming Oct. 29 deadline for municipal workers to receive at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, with no testing opt-out, or face being sent home without pay starting Monday, Nov. 1.

Thousands of municipal workers took to the streets in protests earlier in the week after de Blasio announced a sweeping mandate in the prior week requiring the entire municipal workforce to get vaccinated, with no testing option.

Asked by a reporter at Thursday’s press conference whether he was having any second thoughts about the mandate given the likelihood that some police, fire, and sanitation workers would rather quit or go on leave rather than get the shot, the New York mayor replied in the negative.

“No, I am not having second thoughts,” de Blasio said. “We expected that a lot of the vaccinations would happen toward the end of the deadline. We also know a lot of people make the decision once they really realize that they’re not going to get paid. That’s just the human reality.”

Those cities trying to lure such people away should not just give them a lump sum of money. Instead sell as to how inexpensive it is to live in other than NYC.

Literally a price comparison.

Good chance Wilhelm might lose this one.

No worries though. Dirty Diaper Joe has his back.

It takes balls for a German to pretend he’s Italian. It takes a moron to believe him.

This is about who has the power. Will the people who are damaged come after the workers (too many) or the politicians (much easier)?
We have to stand together. That’s the only way.
First they came for the unvaccinated…..

Communists have always believed that they alone understand human reality.

Unfortuantely, millions have to die before they can be convinced otherwise.

I hear you. But they are counting on people not wanting to bother; uprooting their families, finding new work etc. This whole thing is really insidious. If the vaccines work, then the unvaccinated do not put the vaxxed at risk at all. There is no rational, logical reason to mandate the jab.

It certainly is.

They are purposely destroying lives and be cocky about it.
