The New York Post<\/a> is reporting today that Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced that New York City is mandating proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter certain indoor businesses \u2014 including all indoor restaurants, entertainment venues and gyms.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The program, which de Blasio dubbed the \u201cKey to NYC Pass,\u201d makes New York the first major US city to create such a mandate and, according to the mayor, marks a significant escalation of the city\u2019s efforts to curb the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant, and will launch on Aug. 16.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will require vaccination for workers and customers in indoor dining, in indoor fitness facilities, indoor entertainment facilities,\u201d he said. \u201cThe only way to patronize these businesses indoors is if you\u2019re vaccinated.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to participate in society fully, you\u2019ve got to get vaccinated,\u201d de Blasio added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enforcement will begin on Sept. 13, following a public service announcement campaign, de Blasio said. Entry will be denied to anyone without a shot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we\u2019re going to stop the Delta variant, the time is now,\u201d said the mayor. \u201cThis is going to make clear, you want to enjoy everything great in this summer of New York City? Go get vaccinated.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

And on Monday, the mayor\u00a0hinted\u00a0<\/a>at the Big Apple moving toward a \u201creality\u201d in which those who do not get vaccinated are barred from certain settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMore and more, there\u2019s going to be a reality where, if you\u2019re vaccinated, a world of opportunity opens up to you. If you\u2019re not vaccinated, there\u2019s going to be more and more things you can\u2019t do,\u201d de Blasio said during his virtual press briefing, when he announced that the city will only hire vaccinated workers and advised all New Yorkers to wear masks in indoor, public settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI say that to say, go get vaccinated, so you can fully participate in the life of this city, because that\u2019s where things are going.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, is this Constitutional? Secondly, why is there so much emphasis on vaccines rather than treatments? This is very odd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
