Amid a new surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, Los Angeles on Wednesday moved toward requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccinations indoors at restaurants, gyms and other spaces.
The Los Angeles City Council voted to direct the city attorney to draft an ordinance requiring patrons to have at least one dose of the vaccine to be able to enter the indoor public spaces.
The motion, which was introduced by Council President Nury Martinez and Councilman Mitch O’Farrell last week, applies to restaurants, bars, retail establishments, fitness centers, spas, and entertainment centers like stadiums, concert venues and movie theaters.
It’s still unclear what the law will look like, and how it will be enforced.
The L.A. City Attorney now has to prepare and present a draft ordinance, which will then go back to the city council for approval.
“It’s our responsibility to protect the public, that includes protecting them from the unvaccinated,” Martinez said. “The decision to not get vaccinated doesn’t just affect you. We have kids under the age of 12 who are not eligible for the vaccine yet, and someone’s decision to not get vaccinated affects them as well.”
The city council meeting featured calls from several members of the public who expressed opposition to the motion.

So glad we don’t live in that marxist state anymore...bunch of sheep they are!
[apparently the next logical step will be to make it illegal for the unvaxed to buy food]
Something similar is happening in N.Y. Birds of a marxist feather flock together.
[Maybe California will move toward sliding into the ocean?]
Or a nice state-wide massive earthquake?
Wish my friends and family would get some sense and move out first...
where in the h3ll are the Constitutional lawyers?
Because if there are enough of them in society, they will catch it, they will spread it, and they will be used as human petri dishes for it for as the virus replicates among the unvaccinated, its genes undergo random “copying errors” (i.e. genetic mutations). Over time, these genetic copying errors can, among other changes to the virus, lead to alterations in the virus’ surface proteins or antigens. This is what we are seeing with Delta Variant from India (not enough people vaccinated in some areas, and now that weakens the power of the vaccinations that were intended for Alpha and Beta strains. Add in, say, Lambda Variant coming in from Peru, the more uncooperative and unpatriotic people stubbornly insist no to vaccinate to “own the libs” or whatever, the more screwed up it is for everyone else.
Pure religious discrimination against serious pro-life Christians, Jews, etc.
Pure medical discrimination against those with pre-existing conditions
Pure political discrimination against those who believe in liberty and choice.
Because it's 100% bull s**t.
I don’t care. I don’t go there anyway. They elected those people. Live with it.
The council is already on record that they'll enforce this against the businesses with punitive fines and administrative compliance mechanisms (pulling liquor licenses, business licenses, health permits and the like).
The big corporate outfits have the wherewithall to enforce this against their customers, or endure the loss of business. This is a final stab in the back to the independents, the small stores and restaurants that provide the economic independence for people to say 'no' to the unions, the government and the big corporations.
There's no way, that after a year of this, the people getting hurt are the independent operators.
