Protest Against Vaccine Mandates – Are These Just Anti-Vaxxers?
The numbers above are from today (August 25th). (See Vaccine Tracker)
Mayor de Blasio must be happy with this progress. His view of NYC is quite different from individuals who can’t (or don’t want to get vaccinated) becauase he has the responsibility of getting the city vaccinated.
The Pfizer vaccine has FDA approval now, so those who were vaccine-hesitant may have gone to get vaccinated.
There are still people protesting over the vaccine mandates.
Some people have health issues and have been told not to get the vaccine – see here.
Protests are happening on August 25th and August 26th against the vaccine mandates.
Some people are religious and some religions are against the vaccine. Is a religious exemption allowed for this? See here
Some of the people not vaccinated are firefighters, NYPD, nurses, EMT and other frontline workers. Will NYC fire them over not getting the vaccine?
On Thursday, August 26th in Staten Island:

Another Ferry for Staten Island
Mayor de Blasio was on Errol Louis’ show talking about the new Staten Island ferry.
This ferry is operated by a subcontractor through the EDC. (Photos here)
It takes 18 minutes to get to Battery Park and 35 minutes to get from Staten Island to 39th Street in Manhattan. (More info)
And the first fast ferry trip from St. George has begun… pic.twitter.com/mrX48gwC6H

It cost $2.75 (it’s not the free ferry that the Department of Transportation has already). It’s at another pier a few blocks away.
While these ferry rides are $2.75 a person, they cost NYC around $10 each. (Source) How come no one is asking that? No one is wondering why Staten Island got another ferry? Someone is making some serious CHA-Ching.
Whenever the EDC is involved, it’s always bad news.

NYC School Staff Must be Vaxed by 9/27 and Pfizer Vaccine is FDA Approved Today
Mayor de Blasio mandated that teachers and public school staff must receive one vaccination by September 27, 2021. Previously, teachers were permitted to get the vaccination or get tested weekly. Currently, almost 80% are vaccinated.
This morning they also announced that the Pfizer vaccine has been FDA approved. (See here and here)
That should help rest the minds of those who have been vaccine hesitant.
We hope that you get vaccinated…….especially, if you are a parent (See here, here and here).
