Hardly coming as a surprise in a world where the unvaccinated are now treated as subhuman scum, moments ago New York City announced it will require residents to be fully vaccinated to access indoor dining, entertainment and fitness - a stricter rule than the current requirement for people to have received at least one dose. And yes, the new rule also means that kids age 5-11 will also be required to have at least one shot to enter restaurants, de Blasio said.

The new rule goes into effect on Dec. 27.
“Vaccine mandates are the one thing that really breaks through,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in an interview on MSNBC Monday. “Let’s lean into it even more.”
The mayor also called the mandates a "preemptive strike", once again urging all New Yorkers to get the jab, which is particularly unpopular among minority populations like black New Yorkers.
"We in New York City have decided to use a preemptive strike, to really do something bold to stop the further growth of COVID and the dangers it’s causing to all of us," de Blasio said. "So as of today, we’re going to announce a first-in-the-nation measure. Our health commissioner will announce a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board."
But before making this declarations, de Blasio should probably check out Belgium, which is over a month into its new mask mandate and with 87.4% of adults fully vaccinated, its cases just hit an all time high.
Cases in Belgium are the highest they’ve ever been, over a month into their new mask mandate and with 87.4% of adults fully vaccinated so I’d love to know why the media hasn’t done a story on how Ron DeSantis managed to create his Florida state guard and invade Belgium so quickly pic.twitter.com/z6fkjV2z9k — IM (@ianmSC) December 4, 2021
Naturally, New York has seen a post-Thanksgiving rise in Covid-19 infections in addition to its first few cases of the omicron variant. The cases so far appear to be unrelated, according to governor Kathy Hochul, but officials have warned people to assume there is already community spread.
“We have to assume community spread at this point,” de Blasio said. “Omicron is here.”
Although if this were true, the city would probably have confirmed more than a small handful of omicron cases.
Breaking from @NYCMayor: New York City is going where no other city has gone as we face Omicron, winter, and the holidays. A first-in-the-nation vaccine mandate for private sector employees beginning 12/27. We’re leading the way and taking bold steps to combat COVID.— Danielle Filson (@DanielleFilson) December 6, 2021
The city last week strengthened its recommendation for residents to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status and announced additional vaccine mandates on childcare workers and private school employees.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, the NYT sounded the alarm that hospitals in upstate New York are getting "crushed" thanks to a recent surge in COVID cases. However, hospitals in other parts of the northeast have seen a much more modest uptick in patients. But upstate, hospital capacity has decreased by 10%. It's one reason Gov. Kathy Hochul has temporarily suspended "elective" surgeries.
Why does ANY sane, freedom-loving individual still live in New York ?
Snake Plissken is about to see a lot of business.
Are this cases of “sick” people, or just people that have a positive test?
Why in New York but not in Florida?
Why are there still “homeless” wandering the streets of NY, shouldn’t they all be dead by now?
Enqueuing minds want to know. /s
A vaccine against being a libtard imbecile like DumBlASSio and the City Council of Fools would be far more useful than one against COVID.
The new rule goes into effect on Dec. 27.
How convenient, after Christmas.
RE: The new rule goes into effect on Dec. 27.
And De Blasio leaves his position the week after.
This is a sane policy, from the standpoint of driving people out of NYC and upping my property values.
If NYC was so full of unregenerate lefties, why did Deep State see the need to shove RCV down the city’s throat recently?
A lot of those folks are poor or are working poor and cannot afford to vote with their feet.
And Deep State intends to keep them that way.
Interestingly, his successor has yet to comment on this..

Adams is “evaluating” it.
SNORT.
Adams is in Ghana til Wednesday...
Okaaaaay....
I can tell you from personal observation that the unmasked and unwashed "homeless" of NYC are not only thriving but also increasing their numbers.
EVIL

Why doesn’t he just say he wants to exclude blacks from restaurants, gyms, theaters, and the like? Does he worry that they might vote Republican?
Democrats are not sane. Keep them in NYC.
Illegal invaders welcome with no restrictions if you ask you may be fined or jailed .can you see my double middle finger?????
On the bright side, if the “vaccines” turn very deadly in the long run - a very possible chance - real estate values will be more reasonable in the Big Apple and there will be a helluva lot fewer Democrat voters in New York State.
