De Blasio Announces COVID Vaccine Mandate for Private Businesses in NYC

De Blasio Announces COVID Vaccine Mandate for Private Businesses in NYC

Why not? NYC has seven cases of the Omicron variant, y’all!

Outgoing NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio went full fascist on MSNBC on Monday morning.

De Blasio bragged that the city will have the nation’s first COVID vaccine mandate for private businesses. We all know that an elected official should totally boast about forcing private businesses to do something!

After all, NYC has a whopping seven cases of the new Omicron variant. SEVEN CASES, Y’ALL. Must instill draconian measures:

DE BLASIO: “Yeah. Mika, look, we just talked about an attack on democracy. We’re under attack a different way right now from the Coronavirus. And we’ve got Omicron as a new factor. We’ve got the colder whether which is going to really create additional challenges with the Delta variant. We’ve got holiday gatherings. We in New York City have decided to use a preemptive strike to really do something bold to stop the further growth of Covid and the dangers it’s causing to all of us. So, as of today, there’s a first in the nation measure. Our health commissioner will announce a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board. All private sector employers in New York City will be covered by this vaccine mandate as of December 27th. We’ll have some other measures as well to focus on maximizing vaccination quickly to get ahead of Omicron and the other challenges we’re facing right now with Covid.”

Notice all of the states are doing this on workers and not welfare recipients?

The mandates kick in just as we have a variant that defeats it.

    FAUCI JUST SAID – NO MEANINGFUL INCREASE IN
    . . .HOSPITALIZATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA

    Indications to date is that OMNICRON is mild and no deaths are attributed to it.

    >> So Mayor D’umFuckio decides this is the time to MANDATE masks.

    WORST MAYOR – EVER.

    NYC is counting the days till this moronic communist is dumped out of City Hall.

Wait, let me get this straight. Omicron is an attack on democracy, therefore the answer is totalitarianism?

I can’t quite put my finger on it but this logic seems off.

“My body, my choice” indeed.

Has Adams said if he will go along after January 1?

From the Does Not Compute file.

The people of the states wrote their constitutions to act as a check, a limitation, on their governments. Similarly, the 1787 federal constitution was written as a check, a limitation, on fedgov.

Yet all governments behave as if there are no limitations on their power over the people.

    WHAT. ABOUT. THE . ILLEGAL. IMMIGRANTS. POURING. ACROSS. OUR. SOUTHERN. BORDER. ????

    Just belaboring the obvious, and bring Fauci and Biden’s (or whoever is really running the country) bullsh-t home.

    The illegals infected with covid are time bombs being intentionally placed in our cities to keep the Covid scam going. They’re going to prove to be more dangerous to our country than any ChiCom nuke. Just look at Omar and Tlaib – could you ever imagine these two maggots being elected to high office in the US?

    But then, there was Clinton and Obama.

Wait a minute! This is an urgent, emergency, life-saving measure that is absolutely essential to saving lives, but it won’t go into effect for another three weeks? Yeah, yeah, this is about public health…that’s the ticket.

I wonder how many large companies in New York will take an In-N-Out Burger reaction to this? Essentially told the government, no? Also, I wonder how many office space leases will not be renewed in the next three weeks.

    Not renewed or cancelled?

    If they are not happy with this crap they need to vote with their feet. Or with their paws, as the case may be.

      Another Voice in reply to UserPeabody. | December 7, 2021 at 12:59 pm

      Voting with their feet? They can’t even show up to vote for the government leaders that have allowed this to continue…let alone pick up and move! A mere 4 weeks ago there were 5,598,883 both active and inactive registered voters in NY City. The number who using all available means to vote was 1,066,186, This is in keeping with the last voting cycle that kept Di Blasio in office. 80 % sit on the side lines and bitch.

Why is he saying this right now? What is the real agenda? He is a hard-core Marxist so this must feed the revolution somehow.

Am I missing something here? I thought Omicron only gave you very mild illness, not much worse than a cold (except for possibly compromised people)? Shouldn’t we want everyone to catch it and build up immunity that might be helpful against a more deadly variant?

    Petrushka in reply to jb4. | December 6, 2021 at 12:29 pm

    I would like to know if people getting infected after being vaccinated get the extra immunity benefit. I don’t hear anything about this. There’s talk that omicron is mild because people are vaccinated, but people are still dying of delta. But not omicron.

    Everyone is hoping that omicron will be the mild version that works like a vaccine. Like cowpox.

      UserPeabody in reply to Petrushka. | December 6, 2021 at 4:36 pm

      While we are still talking about this, the next variant (which will gets its name after skipping several more letters of the Greek alphabet) is ready to pounce. But before it does it must check with Fauci to find out how severe it will be.

    Idonttweet in reply to jb4. | December 6, 2021 at 12:33 pm

    I don’t recall a single death anywhere being attributed to Omicron.

Putting more people out of work and making more businesses bankrupt is the path to prosperity!

Does a mayor even have that authority?

    Of course not. But more importantly, what kind of racist would even ask that question?

      billdyszel in reply to irv. | December 7, 2021 at 2:21 pm

      I know you’re joking, Irv. I would joke back directly, but someone, somewhere would call me nasty names. 🙂

      How about this one:
      Q. “President Biden, do you wear boxers or briefs?”
      A. “Uhhh . . . Depends!”

“NYC has seven cases of the Omicron variant”

What’s so funny is they call Omicron a variant, but the real variant is the democrat party. They have mutated so far from what they used to be that they are no longer recognizable. And the bad news is there is no cure.

Even if Adams reversed this it’s still too much risk and uncertainty for employers. Who’s to say the next municipal election won’t return the most radical d/prog instead of the least?

Why should employers in financial services stay? They can run a bond desk and brokerage from Miami just as easily. Not to mention better weather and lower taxes.

So requiring IDs for voting should be no problem now, right?

If Sundowner administration isn’t having any luck getting it past courts what prayer does De Blasio have?

Time for everyone- including law professors- to start referring to De Blasio as Dictator De Blasio, Hochul and Whitmer as Emperor Hochul and Emperor Whitmer. Send the message to everyone- this behavior is not dictatorial in nature- it’s dictatorial, period and the People shouldn’t tolerate it.

Down in Australia I think it’s totally legitimate at this point to refer to Führer Scott Morrison. For God’s sake, they’re running actual concentration camps in a western British descended country.

Steven Brizel | December 6, 2021 at 5:15 pm

We call DiBlasio-Comrade DiBlasio-he is so woke it is pathetic-that’s why our streets are unsafe, and he valued BLM riots as more important than allowing free exercise of religion. This mandate has as much legal validity as those of Biden

This takes effect on December 27. Four days before De Blasio is out of there, and it’s up to Eric Adams to decide what to do about it.

    billdyszel in reply to Milhouse. | December 7, 2021 at 2:23 pm

    I think they both serve the same paymaster on E 42nd Street – Pfizer. So I don’ t think the tactics will change.

It’s insanity, but what if NC, SC, TN, GA, FL, AL, MS, AR, LA, TX and part of KY, MO and OK broke off our allegiance to a hijacked Union and started a new country called Galt.

The vile Dhimmi-crats are the most manifestly useless idiots in American society. Would-be caudillos, obnoxious narcissists and brazenly totalitarian apparatchiks, all of them. Everything that they touch turns to excrement; the “anti-Midas” touch.

Stalinists will do what Stalinists do.

Those who lived under Stalin’s tyranny couldn’t leave. Comply or die in the Gulag.

Those living under DeBolshevik’s tyranny have a choice.

Ignore the irrelevant SOB.

the first thing the NEW mayor can do is reverse everything this clown did to NYC.

The best vaccine out there is Omicron. It provides stronger protection, it provides longer lasting protection (likely a lifetime), and, by virtue of training the immune system to recognize more than just a single (spike protein) antigen, it provides protection against a wider range of future variants as well.

And the side effects (fatigue for a day or three) are far less than the usual thrombosis, myocarditis etc that the existing vaxxes offer.

DeBozo is the dumbest mayor of any town in America. NYC deserves a fruitcake like this dummy along with his thieving wife… If he writes a book it should be called; HOW I RUINED NYC IN 90 DAYS…..
IF you looked up moron in the dictionary, you would find his picture.
