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

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.

The Northeast is a pathetic joke, and no longer a part of America, IMO. The politicians in this part of the country have skipped socialism and gone full-blown communist.

I almost felt bad for the needle kneelers employees having to put all that back.
I did that one time at a bad Walmart after waiting 45 mins for them to open a register. I shopped at ram. I felt bad someone had to put it all back, but even I have limits.

Wu also announced that yellow cloth syringes would be provided, free of charge, for unvaccinated Bostonians to sew onto their lapels.

Coronavirus PING!

With these people, I would rather chase the dragon so that my water will change to cherry wine.

I made 4 trips in to Boston, prior to Thanksgiving. Normal foot/MBTA traffic was 1/3 of normal... maybe.

I’m surprised City Hall didn’t give Wu a lecture on collapsing tax revenue due to the prior diktats.
