'Blindsided': Fury in NYC as de Blasio gives firms just 3 weeks to get vaxxed
NY Post ^ | 7 December A.D. 2021 | Reuven Fenton, Carl Campanile, Nolan Hicks and Sam Raskin

Mayor Bill de Blasio sprang a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on all private businesses in New York City on Monday — drawing immediate rebuke from trade groups, New York office workers and some fellow elected officials who said the backbone of the Big Apple was “blindsided” by the stunning move.

De Blasio, whose mayoralty ends at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, labeled making vaccines compulsory for private businesses a “pre-emptive strike” against an expected surge in COVID infections this winter amid the emergence of the Omicron variant.

...

Kathryn Wylde, head of the business group Partnership for NYC, blasted the mayor’s announcement.

“There’s no forewarning, no discussion, no idea about whether it’s legal or who he expects to enforce it,” she said. “There’s been no consultation.

“We were blindsided,” a clearly enraged Wylde said.

She also questioned if de Blasio has the legal ability to implement the vaccine rule for private entities.

“It’s unclear by what authority the mayor is doing this,” said Wylde.

...

Asked about potential penalties for non-compliant employers, the mayor again responded vaguely. “It’s part of life that there have to be some consequences,” he said. “We’ll figure out what makes sense by Dec. 15 when we put out the guidelines.”

De Blasio said he spoke to both Gov. Kathy Hochul and Adams, his successor, who is currently on a personal trip to Ghana, about the new policy before he revealed it.

Do you know what Collins and Murkowski both have in common in addition to being Deep State?

BTW, before it NYC had RCV, NYC had RCV-enabled voting machines.

Does that answer your question.

You didn’t answer my question. I think I know why.

So again, if RCV did what you think, why did the most moderate Democrat possible win, when the white wokesters in Manhattan wanted Garcia and the far left AOC radicals wanted Wiley?

No one on the left wanted Adams. He was lambasted on Twatter. You would think your magic RCV goblins would have prevented him from winning, right?

You also don’t even know what your talking about. The software for the RCV machines in NYC wasn’t implemented until this year.

I don’t know where you got on the RCV magic lizard kick, but you are out there on your own island on that one.

The Virginia election reinforced that the GOP wins machine precincts hands down, but struggles with the mail in vote.

That exact same thing played out in 2020 if you actually bothered to dig into the data like I did.

Perhaps you should stop listen to grifters and crackheads?

I remember reading in the NY Post on day 1 of De Blasio admin where it was reported that he addressed a business group and said I believe in the heavy hand of government. This commie hates the private sector and delights in torturing it.

Meanwhile, this from Louisiana...

Shocking Testimony from Louisiana Hearing Today: Nurse asked many of her colleagues if they had ever reported an adverse event from vaccines to VAERS. Most answered: "What is VAERS?" 😳 One study discovered VAERS reports only has 1% of actual vax injuries!🤯 Let that sink in...

That’s like an out-going POTUS starting a shooting war with Russia two weeks before leaving office.

1.98% fatality rate

OR

98.02% survivable.

Either way, BFD.

Two months is February, the peak of flu session.
If the UK studies which show immune systems crashing in double jabbed (everyone double jabbed over 30 having zero immune system by Christmas and all others double jabbed having zero immune system by March), then by the end of February we can expect a very grim near future in hospitals, funerals, and loss of people we know.

...of course this will be blamed on another new bullshit variant and the pressure will ramp up to get the experimental gene therapy and more restrictions.

...if the UK studies are indeed accurate, even by half.

...that is all

Quite a few relatives of mine were once accustomed to spending 24hrs/day in Manhattan; and now would not go there at all, without bodyguards. Same goes for Los Angeles.
Mayor-elect (D) is not going to make things any better. The article notes he’s on a “personal trip” to Ghana. So he can’t be reached for comment? *eye roll*
Individuals may change positions within the pack but the Democrat machine never releases its hold on its prey. The city will fall to ashes (or to China) before that happens.

Forget February, hospitals are currently having a surge in patients, most of whom got the Jim Jones Jab.

Fury, they call it.

“I’m all for mandates but he should have talked with us first.”

Does that sound like fury?

True.
Won’t this be conveeeenient as a prelude to the midterms and increased vote by mail DemocRAT fraud (but I repeat myself)?

You are very astute.

I am of the opinion that by next spring, we are going to have a clarity on these shots that we haven't had yet.

......it’s hard to believe how this big of a FRAUD can operate month after month world wide with co-operation of western governments and corporations..

To City of New York employees, I have a great deal of empathy for you losing your job IF you didn’t vote for the avowed marxist De Blasio.

“..Wilhelm, his brood and the Cuomo boys should just retire to the island of misfit toys and leave us alone....”

I have a better idea but it would likely get me a scolding on FR...lol
However, let me just say involves trap doors on public gallows.
