Just two weeks into the new year, the U.S. has already seen more than a million new COVID cases on multiple days. The Omicron variant has created a dangerous surge, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimating that this version of the virus currently accounts for more than 98 percent of cases in the country. Omicron is spreading even faster than the previously dominant Delta variant, and pushing case counts higher than ever before. Health officials across the country have started to update existing policies in response to the surge, with some places introducing vaccine mandates for the first time.
Two major cities are gearing up to ban unvaccinated people from several places this weekend. Both Boston and Washington, D.C., have vaccine mandates going into effect on Jan. 15 for most indoor places. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced the new policy in mid-December, as cases in the city started to increase significantly because of the Omicron variant.
According to Wu's order, people 12 years or older will be required to present proof of at least one dose of a COVID vaccine before entering indoor food services, indoor entertainment and event venues, and indoor gyms and fitness settings. The mandate will then evolve in phases throughout the year, with full vaccination being required from individuals 12 and over as of Feb. 15, proof of one dose being required from individuals 5 years and over as of March 1, and full vaccination being required from this age group as of May 1.

Premeditated Murder forcing the jab.

More fear tactics by the Liberal Media
It’s one thing to mandate these things for adults. But how they’re going after kids? They are really really sick.
I imagine that would put a damper on the Jan 23rd anti-mandate rally?
Not sure when it will get figured out. But everyone I know except for one that has covid has been vaxxed except for one, and she got it from her vaccinated boyfriend.
600,000 people allowed across the Southern boarder without vaccination, now these leaders are concerned? I think this is about control not preventing the spread.
The blood test results proved all (or most) had the Covid antibodies. So why do they need to get vaccinated?? And lose their jobs if they don't?

Cottone: Boston is not ‘interested in learning about our antibodies’
Fear porn ... I know a bunch of people that now have it. The number goes each day. They, like 99% of people, have nothing more than what feels like a nasty cold. Let’s change all our lives for that 1% with comorbidities and out of control obesity, NOT.
