New York Fire Department Union Warns Vaccine Mandates Will Plunge City into ‘Chaos’Paul Bois 27 Oct 2021
The head of New York City’s firefighters’ union has warned that Mayor Bill de Blasio’s vaccine mandate will plunge the city into chaos, prolonging emergency response times due to staff shortages.
“The staffing just is not there; there’s no way to do it,” FDNY Firefighter Association President Andrew Ansbro said in an appearance on Fox News Radio. “The response times are going to go through the roof. We’re just not going to be able to get to the emergencies in time.”
“Fires are going to burn longer. Heart attack victims are going to be laying on the floor longer,” he added. “People in stuck elevators are going to be stuck there for hours if not days.”
Bill de Blasio has mandated that all municipal employees be vaccinated by November 1 or else face unpaid leave. Ansbro told host Brian Kilmeade that the mandate has done little to spur firefighters into getting vaccinated, with a full 45 percent still not having received the shot. Ansbro predicted that roughly 30 to 40 percent of the firehouses will be closed down come November 1 if the mandate stays in place.
