Bill de Blasio's final attack against New York City: With his reign of error almost over, de Blasio still made the effort to destroy the city just a little bit more

Bill de Blasio has managed in less than a decade to inflict as much damage on New York City as multiple Democrat mayors did in the 1960s through the 1980s.  He's the overachiever of awful.  And with his administration winding down in a matter of weeks, he decided to lob one more bomb at his beleaguered city.  The mayor announced that any children over five who wish to participate in indoor activities must be double-vaccinated.  And if attacking NYC's children isn't bad enough, he also mandated that all private-sector workers must be vaccinated by December 27.  It's all in the name of omicron, which has shown itself to be unaffected by the vaccine.

Here's a précis, from the Daily Mail, explaining the vaccine mandate:

New Yorkers are not pleased. The word one sees popping up all over the internet is "blindsided."  The New York Post summarized those responses:

Mandates are not laws. Muscellini mandated the trains run on time. Ceaucescue gave mandates too.

Some people ask — can’t you challenge this in court?

Well, the city workers did — Teachers, Fire Fighters, Police... they LOST.

The court decided that the CITY can as a condition of being employed by the city, require certain conditions be first met, including vaccination.

The judge did recognize that a national mandate was different, but the judge ruled that this is a local matter.

Now, the question is this — is this decision applicable to employees in PRIVATE businesses? Will New Jerseyans and Connecticutians who work in New York be forced to take the vaccine against their will?

We don’t know how a judge will decide.

For all New Yorkers take note -— BILL DE BLASIO’s NEXT AMBITION IS TO RAN FOR GOVERNOR OF THE ENTIRE STATE !!

If you think you can escape his policies because you don’t live or work in the city, wait till he becomes governor... ( or you can stop this by permanently retiring him ).

Yeah. Ol’Nicky Ceausecu found out about trying to enforce mandates.

Nicky outlawed Christmas. Celebrating Christmas at one time was a very serious crime in Romania.

Well as always happens when people get tired of living with a boot on their neck the Romanian people rose up and shot Ol’ Nicky Boy and his crazy wife Elena dead on Christmas Day, 1989.

Somebody ought to pay Mayor Putz the same compliment.

Just say no. Who can do anything about it before the spewing anus goes bye-bye? Long past time for passive resistance.

RE: Just say no. Who can do anything about it before the spewing anus goes bye-bye?

The unknown factor is the INCOMING MAYOR — Eric Adams.

Will he continue De Blasio’s policy? Or revoke it?

NYC voters knew that Curtis Sliwa ( the Republican candidate who lost ) would not mandate the vaccine because he publicly said so. Eric Adams was never asked this question.

No big deal. I would imagine nearly 100% of NYC residents are good with it.

Then why aren’t 100% vaccinated?

Hopefully this vile creature will face a reckoning ... someday, somewhere, somehow ... a reckoning.

This is the moment when Ceausescu realized his totalitarian ways had finally reached its limit.

When will New Yorkers stand up for themselves against this tyranny?

I vividly remember this. Right up to the end the arrogant bastard and his crazy wife thought THEY were victims in Romania’s agony.

For many people, the Cold War ended when the Wall fell.

For me, it was when THIS happened.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer couple.
