Confirmed: New York is Never Rescinding Its Vaccine Mandate — Americans are Fleeing the State for Good

Plus: NY's health commissioner openly admits exaggerating Covid epidemic to scare parents into vaxxing children.

There once was hope for New York City.

Gotham City's outgoing socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio — unpopular even with the Woke elites of Manhattan — is slated to soon be replaced with the newly elected "blue-collar" Mayor-Elect Eric Adams.

That change had some New Yorkers optimistic that reason, common sense, and predictability could be restored after de Blasio's reign of error had wrought near-irreversible damage to the city.

Think again. Adams has every intention of maintaining the ruinous Covid policies of his predecessor, the New York Times reported on Thursday.

"Following weeks of silence, Mayor-elect Eric Adams vowed on Thursday to keep New York City’s vaccine mandate for private-sector employees in place," the Times reported. "The requirement, which was enacted by Mayor Bill de Blasio and is the first of its kind in the nation, went into effect on Monday, during Mr. de Blasio’s last week in office."

“Our focus is vaccine and testing, vaccine and testing, vaccine and testing,” Mr. Adams said, before turning to Dr. Dave A. Chokshi, Mr. de Blasio’s health commissioner, who will stay on as Mr. Adams’s health commissioner until March.

“The private sector employer mandate will stay in effect in the New Year, with a focus on compliance, not punishment,” Dr. Chokshi announced.

No wonder people are fleeing the northeast in droves.
