Before Illinois residents can return to what Gov. J.B. Pritzker calls a “new normal,” he says 7-in-10 residents 65 and older must get a COVID-19 vaccination.
Pritzker appeared in Chicago on Thursday to announce the requirements the state must meet before he will remove his restrictions on businesses and crowd capacities.
“It’s time to cautiously move toward normalcy,” he said. “It’s imperative that we do so in a way that maintains all the progress we’ve made to date.”
Notably, Pritzker said 70% of the state’s 65 and older residents must get vaccinated.
“I’m optimistic about reaching that milestone because, as of this morning, that number is 58%,” he said.
In a release, his office said 28 days of low viral spread and other metrics must follow that vaccination threshold before he would begin to “turn the dial” toward his final “Phase 5” mitigations.

So, are neighbors supposed to go threaten elderly neighbors for not getting the vaccine.
Or, how to have the government turn neighbor against neighbor or else the government will penalize everyone.
Or, how little dictators show themselves.
One of my TOP 10 all-time favorites, Ferris. I’ve watched it at least 10 times.
It will have to be pried from their cold & clammy dead hands...
There is close to zero possibility of getting out of their hands otherwise by other means...
The DNC is more like the leftwing NAZI Socialists than Chinese Communists...but still has a lot of the CCP in their DNA.
This of course gives he/she/it/whatever the bottom dweller currently posing as governor of the formerly great state of Illinois ample opportunity to delay and delay lifting more restrictions.
Always remember that math and liberals are arch enemies.
I’ll be part of the 30%, which I hope is closer to 70% before it is all wrote.
Probably the same here. At least.
I like how they had “Chairman Andropov” in charge of the KGB.
They certainly act like it
At least he has publicly set a benchmark.
Can’t say that for Tommie (”the Commie”) Wolf in PA.
A problem.
The Constitution forbids laws that are not applied equally.
This will end up in the courts very quickly.
The idea that all businesses will be shut down because a few old people will not get a vaccination is the plan of an idiot.
Yeah, somebody posted it on a thread by Olog-hai. It’s quite appropriate.
Makes no sense. Younger people who are vaccinated should not be held hostage to older people who are not.
It’s the easiest way to kill off the population that’s draining the states’ coffers.
My kids were sitting on the couch talking when I saw this movie coming on. I said you have to watch it. They said they would watch a little bit of it. They thought it was too old. 10 minutes in I couldn’t have dragged them away.
My body, my choice. Saw that someplace.
I wonder if the elderly who do not want to get the jab could just donate the amount of profit from one jab to Pritzkers re-election campaign and get credit for the shot so the state could re-open?
The Circus Elephant Governor has successfully chased all Spring HS Sports into neighboring States - Baseball and Soccer teams have scheduled their games in Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri - great revenue for the other States.
Putzker doesn’t care about anyone except himself and power.
It’s just so awesome.
I loved how they had “Red Flag” exercises in the beginning.
You can even see an F-111 parked on the ramp in one of the scenes.
It’s Illinois.
The ‘Pubs aren’t any better.

As a Canadian, do you enjoy being broad brushed?
If, so, here’s some more material to brush me with:
