NYC mayor Bill de Blasio hinted that the city will be pushing towards vaccinating their entire workforce, including the public sector, while announcing a new vaccine-or-test mandate for municipal workers.
He warned that the days of voluntary vaccines are nearing an end and thinks it’s time to push for mandates for the public.
“We’ve got to shake people at this point and say, ‘Come on now.’ We tried voluntary. We could not have been more kind and compassionate. Free testing, everywhere you turn, incentives, friendly, warm embrace. The voluntary phase is over,” de Blasio remarked.
“We can keep doing those things. I’m not saying shut it down. I’m saying voluntary alone doesn’t work,” he continued. “It’s time for mandates, because it’s the only way to protect our people.”
During a Tuesday interview, he hinted that all city employees would likely be required to get vaccinated to maintain their jobs in the future, when asked by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.
“Yes, we are climbing a ladder. I’m not answering yes to your question yet,” he said. “But if that’s not enough, I think we got to be ready to climb the ladder more, we’ve got to put pressure on this situation.”
Last week he ordered public healthcare workers to get the jab by August 2nd, or begin submitting to weekly testing, which will expand to all city employees, including the NYPD and school workers by September 13th.
“We all know the Delta variant has thrown us a curveball,” de Blasio said during his Monday briefing. “This is about our recovery, this is what we need to do to bring back New York City, this is about keeping people safe.”
Additionally, unvaccinated city workers will be required to wear masks indoors at all times, or be sent home without pay for the day if they do not comply.
Thank goodness his reach is just NYC. How soon is he gone?? (Not soon enuff, I expect!)
The man is demonic and needs to have NO authority over anyone else. I don’t know how he stays in office, or do I?
deblasio is CATHOLIC …R and D mean nothing…
Throughout history, all military and all other means of defense have been used to defend a nation. The reason for no defense is that a third of all elected are CATHOLIC “C” TRAITORS and keeping the borders open. Half call themselves r, half d.
They are ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS.
Vote for ANY CATHOLIC “C” and you vote for a traitor.
Vote for ANY CATHOLIC “C” TRAITOR and the borders will never be secured.
One would think you could trust them to have integrity and do what is right but they have all let us down. Big money going into charities that take in illegals and transport them all over America. They got payed a lot of money by the O administration before the caravan a few years ago. Disgusting at best. They think they do God service and very deceived.
NYC Mayor, communist Bill de Blowsio is a bigger Putz than sleepy Joe Biden!
You suck dude!!!!
Mandatory vaccinations and yellow armbands. Sounds like Germany in the 1930’s and 1940’s.
My body – My CHOICE!
Mr. DiBlasio says we have a velvet glove that we held you with. What he didn’t mention is that velvet glove is on an iron hand. Next phase is to slap you with the velvet covered iron hand if you don’t do as you’re told. It’s gonna hurt.
Thats right Invade peoples homes for vaccinations, seeds for rebellion alone
Use Education & Choice OK
Or Unmask since vaccines work right for those vaccinated
The “gestapo” coming for you New Yorkers.
