Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announces vaccine mandate amid jeers
Boston Herald ^ | 20 Dec 2021 | Erin Tiernan

Posted on 12/20/2021 8:23:25 PM PST by Rummyfan

Proof of vaccination against coronavirus will be required to enter city bars, restaurants, gyms, theaters and sports venues under a new mandate announced by Mayor Michelle Wu during a raucous press conference.

“Vaccination is the most powerful tool we have to fight this pandemic,” said Wu Monday, announcing the city’s new rules as protesters flowed inside shouting “USA, USA!”

In addition, all city workers will be required to get the vaccine if they want to keep their jobs, Wu said. Workers must have at least one dose by Jan. 15 and two doses by Feb. 15. The new, stricter requirement for city workers eliminates an option for weekly testing in lieu of getting the shot. Roughly 90% of the city’s 18,000 employees are in compliance with the current vaccine mandate, Wu said.

Patrons at the “select” indoor spaces where proof of vaccine will be required for entry will be on the same timeline, Wu said. Children must be vaccinated to enter those same spaces starting in March.

just saw a comment confirming it is Brisbane on an Aussie forum & stating exactly where the protest took place:

“It starts in Musgrave park South Brisbane and finishes on the corner of Edmonstone st and Melbourne St”

She is female, is Asian, young, attractive and Leftist. Checks all the boxes except for being American.

She is, like nearly all of them like her, a full on totalitarian.

Boston’s mandates follows the lead of cities like New York city and Los Angeles.

Not really something you want to aspire to, Michelle.

Right now, I can't think of an example that has turned out worse.

It's giving thalidomide a good run for its' money.

We have new neighbors from Connecticut. All their children work and live in New England. They tell us they moved to Florida to escape the insane gov’t control of their state.
They said they came to Florida because of governor Desantis’ approach to governance and dealing with the Covid virus.
They grew very weary of the approach to this virus by the gov’t. in their state and wanted to live free again. So upset that they left their family and friends, their own children behind.

So Coof Positive Warren can show her jab card and drink a beer in Boston but a unjabbed person who doesn’t have the Coof can’t.

Boston in 70% fully and 80% partially jabbed and they still have huge outbreaks, even among the triple vaxxed.

Massachusetts' chief export has been crummy, corrupt politicians.

Why did Boston have to import one from Chicago to be mayor?

It is a little funny that Mayor "Mumbles" Menino used to close his speeches with "Thank woo," and now the city has a Mayor Woo.

some French protesters are storming stores that demand vaccine passports, filling up shopping carts, then leaving them at checkouts before walking out:

With the exception of NH, CT has so far been the one of the least insane states. No jab mandates for state employees unlike MA. Hell, just today Lamont in CT suspended the weekly test mandate for unjabbed state employees who have no symptoms for at least two weeks, to save tests for those with symptoms.

Thar kills their argument that testing people weekly just because is a life or death must to stop the Coof.

vaxholes are to blame for a lot of this. They believed the lies about the shot, which surprised me because conservatives are supposed to be smarter than the libs. Thousands are dying and being maimed, and they still defend it

The press conference was just over a hour. From the time she made the announcement to the end it was a constant barrage of boos, USA chants, etc.

A delusional Mayor from a nearby city had to yell over the protesters then had the gall to say something to the effect of prentendign they were supporting him with their USA chants.

Sounds like Wu got Brandon’d.

When Houston placed a smoking ban in bars and restaurants, businesses were built just outside the city limits welcoming all the smokers.

Boston has several neighboring cities to Boston. I’d imagine they will have some sharp restaurant and bar owners that will actually advertise that there’s no mandate in effect at their establishments.

I feel sorry for blue staters who CAN’T escape. I thank God I live in a red State and am not trapped, because short of living with family, we couldn’t afford to move to another State.

We’re going to see more of this as people flee socialism. Please be kind to your new neighbors, folks.
