New York Governor, Comrade Kathy Hochul, delivered an order today mandating mask-wearing indoors throughout the state of New York.
You will take a knee, wrap your face and be compliant… or else. It’s for your own good comrade citizen. WATCH:
Outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced a “first in the nation” vaccine mandate for all people who live and work in New York City. During a media appearance on MSBNC this morning, the mayor said: […] “as of today we are going to announce a first in the nation measure, our Health Commissioner will announce a vaccine mandate for private sectors employers across the board. All private sector employers in New York City will be covered by this vaccine mandate as of December 27th.”
Three days before he leaves office, the compulsory vaccine mandate goes into effect. [NPR Link] The mandate applies to all private and government sector workers and businesses. The mandate also applies to children over the age of five. All parents will be required to vaccinate their children and there will be no testing option.
No one in New York City will be permitted to avoid being defined as “fully vaccinated”, and that definition is likely to change as determined by the need for booster shots as dictated by government officials. The era of the full vaccination passport has arrived in New York City.
Details of the new mandate will be released on December 15th, after the city has an opportunity to evaluate the backlash. However, it is widely anticipated that enforcement mechanisms will be put into place with police officers from the Ministry of COVID Compliance doing random checks on businesses and patrons.
There are no details on the tourist side of this equation, but it would only be common sense to say that any/all visitors to New York City would have to be compliant with the city standards within the vaccination mandate. In essence, New York City is walling itself off from the non-‘fully‘-vaccinated with whatever level of boosters the city would require to be vaccine compliant for entry.
CNN has suspended Chris “Fredo” Cuomo after new information surfaced showing his efforts to use his position to influence media coverage of his embattled brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was facing several sexual harassment allegations.
New York – “The move came a day after New York Attorney General Letitia James released a trove of subpoenaed records that include texts showing the “Cuomo Prime Time” host agreed to contact news industry “sources” for advance information on reports regarding his older brother.” (link)
All the totalitarians will quickly follow suit. New York Governor Kathy Hochul declares a state of emergency, granting herself additional power and authority as the threat of Omicron is utilized. They are moving fast on this one; no time to waste. How long before new lockdowns? Keep watching…
New York – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a state of emergency order on Friday in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant.
The emergency order is intended to increase hospital capacity in New York and will last until at least Jan. 15, when it will be reassessed.
According to a copy of the order, the state will utilize the “surge and flex system,” which allows the Department of Health to limit non-essential and non-urgent hospital procedures in situations where a hospital has less than 10% staffed bed capacity. (read more)
Place your bets… who will be next? Newsom, Whitmer or other?
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio took a victory lap today in celebration of losing 9,000 municipal workers and first responders as the deadline for taking the mandatory vaccination has lapsed. More than 2,000 of the city’s 11,000 uniformed firefighters have taken sick days in the week leading up to the mandate going into effect.
“New York City’s fire department is lagging behind its fellow city agencies on vaccinations, with the mayor confirming at a press conference that the fire department had the lowest vaccination rate of select city agencies, at 77 percent as of Monday.” (read more)
The deadline for New York City firefighters to get vaccinated was yesterday. Enforcement of the vaccine mandate is anticipated to begin Monday. Today, the New York Post is reporting that 26 FDNY firehouses are currently closed due to short staffing directly related to the vaccine mandate.
But the vaccine mandate is all about the public health, right?
New York – The FDNY shut down 26 firehouses across the Big Apple as of 7:30 a.m. Saturday because of staff shortages caused by the vaccination mandate, The Post has learned.
[…] “Twenty six companies out of service is an unconscionable number,” said Councilman Joe Borelli, a Staten Island Republican who chairs the committee on fire and emergency management. “The firefighters who are unable to work have all been tested within the week and are not Covid positive, and I doubt New Yorkers care about the vaccine status of the person applying defibrillators to their chest
[…] The FDNY’s vaccination rate was at 72 percent at the end of Friday. the city’s deadline for workers to get at least one shot of the Covid vaccine. The mandate is expected to be enforced beginning Monday. The NYPD’s number stood at 84 percent vaccinated. (read more)
Two points. #1) New York is shutting down healthcare provider services due to lack of human resources. #2) New York’s largest healthcare provider, Northwell Health, just fired 1,400 workers for failing to take the forced vaccination. Both of these points are currently facts in New York state.
NEW YORK – Northwell Health announced Monday that the company let go of 1,400 employees who decided not to comply with the state’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers.
“Northwell regrets losing any employee under such circumstances, but as health care professionals and members of the largest health care provider in the state, we understand our unique responsibility to protect the health of our patients and each other,” a spokesperson for Northwell Health said in a statement.

Last year’s healthcare heroes are this years healthcare pariahs. Go Figure.
But wait, it gets worse…. Posted without comment because it is way too creepy. WATCH:

Next week New York Governor Kathy Hochul will explain, “How God loves abortion.”
The deadline for New York healthcare workers to take the mandatory COVID-19 “vaccine” is Monday. A significant number of nurses, healthcare workers and those who work within the entire system of healthcare will be leaving the medical industry as a result.
While the potential vacancy rate for healthcare workers is yet undetermined -they have to wait to see how many actually leave- New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced earlier today that foreign workers will be hired to replace the U.S. workers who refuse the vaccine.
In a semi-related note, controversial New York Health Commissioner Harold Zucker -a former defender of Andrew Cuomo- announced his resignation a few hours before Governor Hochul made the announcement about replacing missing NY healthcare staff with foreign workers. The announcement comes at 22:58 of the video below, in response to the question about both issues. WATCH:

Kathy Hochul says the number of vaccine “holdouts” is unknown. She has meetings scheduled for the next few days in an effort to be prepared. She is also looking for ways to “change the healthcare licensing system” to permit out-of-state workers to help fill the void. However, the NY legislature removed most of the unilateral authority to act under the current declared emergency, so the governor publicly says she is restricted in her authority but is “looking at ways to get around that.”
Keep in mind, the workers in question are not just nurses and direct healthcare providers; the mandate applies to everyone in the healthcare system including: clerical staff, billing offices, coders, janitors, receptionists, technology or IT staff, communication staff, cooks and cafeteria workers, in essence – everyone in the industry.
