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.”

Kaiser Wilhelm Deblasio publicly stated that it’s about coercion, exactly as described in the Nuremberg Code. His will be irrefutable evidence at his trial in Nuremberg II.
“Human reality” says workers will leave New York City and find jobs elsewhere to avoid taking a vaccine they don’t want and keep their pay.
Have you looked at Google, I know it’s Google, in Bridgeport Alabama? They bought the never used Bellafonte Nuclear Power Plant and are turning it into some kind of data farm. Reasonable cost to live. An hour or so to Huntsville, 40 minutes to Chattanooga, 90 to Nashville. I have no idea if they need what you do, but they’ve been doing construction on it for about 2 years.
