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.

Been to Boston a few times, lived and worked in DC for years, drove 1000 miles, stayed in a Minnieapolis suburb for a night and never had the urge to take 30 minutes to drive into that sh*thole last year so I am pretty sure I can live without all of them and anyone else who wants to enact nonsensical mandates. I had covid. I have natural immunity. I am not taking some jab developed by a horse doctor just to please a Chinaman. The CEO of Phizer is a veterinarian, and the mayor of Boston is an idiot.
JP nails it.
