Thousands of NYC First Responders Out with Coronavirus-Like Symptoms Despite Mayor’s Coercive MandatesHannah Bleau 30 Dec 2021
Thousands of first responders are out with coronavirus-like symptoms — 1,500 New York Police Department (NYPD) employees have recently tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus alone — despite Mayor Bill de Blasio’s (D) coercive vaccine mandates, forcing first responders to get the jab.
This week, “thousands” of New York City’s first responders have called out sick. On Tuesday alone, 6,600 NYPD employees called out sick, which comprises “about 20% of the department’s workforce.”
According to Pix 11, “Of those, 3,000 were officers with flu-like symptoms and about 1,500 were positive for COVID”:
As a result, the NYPD sent out a memo telling all uniformed officers who are regularly off on Friday and Saturday that they must report to their respective commands for assignment.
The decision was made to provide adequate police coverage for the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square as well as badly needed coverage in precincts throughout the city, according to the NYPD memo.
The trend is hitting the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) as well.
“As of Wednesday, 30% of EMS workers and 17% of firefighters were on medical leave,” Pix 11 reported.
This comes despite Mayor Bill de Blasio’s (D) vaccine mandates, one of which requires first responders in the city to get the jab. In October, the Democrat mayor admitted the city had no real plan to address potential shortages due to his mandate.
