NYC Mayor de Blasio Considers Harsh New Year Restrictions

Nathaniel Charles 21 Dec 2021

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on Monday flagged the possibility of a series of harsh restrictions to be imposed on revelers heading to Times Square to welcome in the New Year.

The crackdown threat follows an announcement last month from de Blasio that prohibited unvaccinated individuals from attending the annual mass public event.

“Right now, it is on, fully vaccinated, outdoors of course,” de Blasio told ABC on Monday. “That’s the plan. And if we need to make any more modifications, we will decide that within the course of this week.”

De Blasio is an avid supporter of the vaccine and stated earlier this month that “vaccination is the way out of this pandemic”.

He has also taken a tough approach with those who have refused to take part in the vaccination drive. In November 2021 put about 9,000 NYC municipal workers on unpaid leave for refusing to comply with a coronavirus vaccine mandate.

Two weeks into the mask mandate, cases in New York City are up an astounding 542%, and 863% since vaccine passports started.
How many more times do experts and politicians need to fail spectacularly before people realize they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing?

But hospitalizations and instances of serious illness have not followed suit.  Which is precisely what is to be expected of a variant such as omicron, which as in effect traded contagiousness for virulence.
