New York City to Mandate COVID-19 Vaccines for Private Sector Workers

Private sector workers in New York City will have to get a COVID-19 vaccine or face termination, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday.

“We 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,” the mayor said.

COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

De Blasio, a Democrat, made the announcement during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

The rationale behind the mandate is the Omicron virus variant, colder weather, and upcoming holiday gatherings, he said.

Employees can provide verification of vaccination to their employers by using a vaccine passport such as the New York State Excelsior Pass or by presenting the paper card that is provided at the time of vaccination.

The mandate deadline is Dec. 27.

More details, including guidance on accommodations, will be issued on Dec. 15.

Eric Adams, who is set to succeed the term-limited de Blasio next month, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mandating vaccines for all workers will make it harder for them to avoid getting a jab, de Blasio said, as he urged other mayors, governors, and CEOs to impose mandates.

“The more universal they are, the more likely employees will say ‘OK it’s time, I’m going to do this.’ Because you can’t jump from one industry to another or one company to another, it’s something that needs to be universal to protect all of us,” he said.

In addition to the newly announced requirement, New York City will extend its vaccine mandate for indoor dining to children as young as 5 while amending it to force people to get two COVID-19 vaccine doses, instead of one, except for people who get the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Councilman Joe Borelli, the top Republican on the New York City Council, panned the new rules, wondering which authority enabled them.

“How can he enforce this on businesses that operate without licenses from NYC?” he wrote on Twitter. “He can’t. Don’t open the door for the de Blasio health police. You don’t need a vax to work in most private sector jobs in New York City. The court will tell us this, too.”

New York City already had one of the strictest testing and vaccine regiments in the country. Many workers were already being forced to get vaccinated, including private and religious school employees, and even to enter most businesses requires people to show proof of vaccination.

The city is reporting a seven-day average of nearly 1,600 cases, the highest since Sept. 27 but well below the two largest waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hospitalizations linked to COVID-19 are way down as well, with a seven-day average of just 43.

The overwhelming majority of people who get COVID-19 show no or few symptoms.

Deaths are primarily among the elderly or otherwise infirm.

The effectiveness of the vaccines against CCP virus infection drops significantly over time, triggering a widespread push for booster shots. Some experts fear the vaccines won’t protect as well against the Omicron variant when compared to other variants.

President Joe Biden’s administration earlier this year announced a private employer vaccination mandate but the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration suspended enforcement of the rule last month after federal courts entered a preliminary injunction against it.

A similar mandate, focused on health care facilities, was also ruled against for now by the courts, prompting the administration to suspend it.

New York City’s measures have been challenged in court, but plaintiffs have failed to overturn any of them thus far. De Blasio said he was confident the private sector mandate would also prevail over any challenges.

Would someone please tell this deluded, mentally defective, POS, for the hundredth time, the vaccines do not prevent one from acquiring and spreading Covid. The man is truly a retard of almost unimaginable proportions. This communist POS is going to take one more swipe at fully destroying NYC before he exits the door.

What is really worrisome is that virtually no one is researching whether each of these shots is damaging the person's immune response to not only this virus but potentially other viruses as well. And there is some data starting to appear that might lead to that conclusion. So not only could they be administering something that has little value in fighting Covid, they could be damaging the immune response for huge majorities of the population in perpetuity. So much for science...

Actually, its even worse than that...
The more you vaccinate, the worse it gets:

They can't explain why the vaccinated are more likely to get COVID and die
They can only offer hand-waving arguments with no actual data to support it.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Was just in a Zoom meeting for a group that had been meeting in person for quite a while. Turns out the executive director and her daughter both got Covid at a Thanksgiving gathering and they have been quarantining on a separate part of their home. Her husband was diagnosed today. She also shared that everyone at the Thanksgiving gathering who contracted Covid was fully vaccinated.

I wonder if/when the truth will come out about this whole fiasco…

I think this new Omnicron Persei 8 variant is very infectious and fast spreading but not at all serious, it’s basically a cold now.

My wife takes our kids to a homeschool co-op each Wednesday at a local church; it’s about 120 homeschool kids from Grade 1-12 and she told me that there’s several families out with Covid now and more seem to be getting hit. I almost expect our family will get it soon and if that means we all get it and get it over with, this goddam thing will eventually run out of hosts to infect as is normal with viruses.

Governments warn of heart problems from COVID vaccines, but Twitter calls research 'unsafe'

Japan follows Nordic countries in citing higher-than-expected risks in young people.

https://justthenews.com/politi..._campaign=newsletter

Governments around the world are warning their citizens that COVID-19 vaccines present heart risks in some populations. But if Twitter users try to look up similar research, they may receive a warning that the information is "unsafe."

Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare "raised the alert level for 'side reactions'" to the Pfizer and Moderna two-shot mRNA vaccines on Dec. 3, according to an English translation of a report by the Japanese Kyodo News Service. Just the News couldn't find a native English version.

"Serious" symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis are being reported among the vaccinated "more frequently in young men than usual," the wire report said. But the ministry still generally recommends vaccination because the benefits outweigh the side effects. Conservative website American Thinker flagged the news.

The heart problem figures are much higher for Moderna than for Pfizer recipients, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported. The Japanese ministry said that as of Nov. 14, for every million males who took the Moderna vaccine, 81.79 ages 10-19 and 48.76 in their 20s developed such symptoms. For Pfizer, those figures are 15.66 and 13.32.

The ministry is requiring hospitals "to report in detail incidents involving people who developed the symptoms within 28 days after being vaccinated," NHK said.

Japan's action followed that of several Nordic countries specifically against Moderna vaccines this fall, with differing age and gender restrictions, the Associated Press reported at the time.

Sweden and Norway stopped offering Moderna to all people under age 30, while Denmark only restricted those under 18. Finland followed with a more narrowly tailored restriction for males under 18.

The European Medicines Agency acknowledged as early as June that it was reviewing myocarditis cases in Israel following vaccination with Pfizer's Cominarty, the sole vaccine fully approved in the U.S. Heart problems generally started within several days of the second dose for males under 30. Similar problems were reported in Europe for "all" COVID vaccines.

The FDA added the heart-inflammation warnings to fact sheets for the mRNA vaccines around the same time.

Moderna disclosed in late October that the FDA was delaying emergency approval of its COVID vaccine for teenagers until early next year to study the heart problems reported in this age group. It won't even seek emergency use authorization to vaccinate children 6-11 until the review for older children is finished.

It's not clear that COVID vaccination provides a meaningful benefit for children without preexisting health conditions.

A German study of children's hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and death due to COVID-19 and pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome, published Nov. 30 as a preprint awaiting peer review, said it couldn't calculate a case fatality rate for "primarily healthy children ages 5-11."

The pediatric researchers couldn't find any such deaths in Germany, while the ICU admission rate for that age group was 0.2 per 10,000.

Deadline passed to offer correction

Just a day before Japan's announcement, Twitter started warning users not to read a research abstract on heart problems following mRNA vaccination that was published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.

The abstract, submitted by California doctor and former cardiac surgeon Steven Gundry, found "dramatic changes" for most of his COVID-vaccinated patients in a blood test that measures early signs of heart problems. The patients' so-called PULS score jumped from an 11% risk of "acute coronary syndrome" within 5 years to 25%.

Gundry presented his findings to an AHA conference last month, according to the trade publication Cardiology Advisor. The jump was notable because Gundry's patients — more than 500 men and women ages 28 to 97 — had been taking PULS cardiac tests every three to six months for eight years.

The AHA was apparently spooked after former New York Times journalist Alex Berenson flagged the abstract Nov. 22, a week after the conference ended. (Days earlier, Berenson highlighted nearly 4,000 deaths among 4 million Swedes within two weeks of their second vaccination dose, which he claimed would translate into an annual mortality rate nearly three times the Swedish average.)

Circulation added an "expression of concern" to the abstract, the first step toward possible retraction, Nov. 24.

Beyond a typo misspelling "PULS" as "PLUS," the abstract has no data on "myocardial T-cell infiltration, there are no statistical analyses for significance provided, and the author is not clear that only anecdotal data was used," the editorial note says. The journal is working on a "suitable correction."

AHA told Retraction Watch that it had asked Gundry to submit a correction by 6 p.m. Friday. These "brief summary documents" are just the starting point for "a scientific conversation on the findings, which may then, ultimately, result in a full manuscript published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal," and AHA "makes no representation or guarantee as to their accuracy or reliability," an AHA spokesperson wrote.

Dana Lewis, a representative for Gundry, told Just the News Friday afternoon, hours before his deadline, that he would not comment on the controversy.

Reuters purported to fact-check the abstract Nov. 26, claiming it lacked "reliable evidence of a link between mRNA vaccines and heart disease."

By Dec. 2, Twitter was imposing an "unsafe" interstitial that warns readers the link is "potentially spammy or unsafe" for reasons including "misleading content that could lead to real-world harm."

Only the link to the study's main page, shared by verified newspaper columnists, a talk show host and "X Games medalist," triggers the warning. An alternate link directly to the abstract, widely shared on Twitter by non-verified accounts, does not draw the warning.

The real question is what the long term effects of these “vaccines” will be. The fact that it fails to stop Covid spread, or even internal propagation in its victims should be all anyone needs to know about forcing it on young, healthy people. Hell, forcing it on a healthy person of ANY age is absurd.

I was half paying attention as to where I was browsing but I ran across a video of a lady at a podium admitting that the covid numbers were skewed

the video had sub-titles and I'm trying to find this again - I'd like to send the link or a copy to my family in Canada

it was just within the past three days, but I'm not sure when the video was produced

has anyone else seen it?
