New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there could be lockdowns again without widespread “tough” vaccine mandates like the one he implemented in New York City.
De Blasio said, “Look, right now, here’s what I fear. Omicron is here. It’s all over the country. This variant moves fast. We have to move faster. I’ll tell you what I hear from our business community that their greatest fear is shutdowns. Their greatest fear is going back to where we were in 2020 to restrictions, to people losing their livelihood. You mentioned unemployment. The greatest threat to employment right now is that the Omicron variant and the cold winter months are going to supercharge COVID and take us backward. So I’m going to argue to you that mandates work, and it’s time since I put mandates in place in New York City. Starting in August, we’ve seen over 1 million more doses. Seventy-one percent of our people fully vaccinated. A lot of those people made the decision because the mandate was there, and it was the thing that moved them. It’s keeping people alive.”

Oh noes! Anything but the sniffles pandemic, we are all gonna die!
Need to check the Vegas line on the odds of herr wilhelm winning the gov race. My ancestors are up to about 2300 rpm these days in NY.
this douche will be making an attempt to run for governor. He already has the 850 mill his wife stole for the so called mental health initiative.
He’s leaving bobby traps for Adams, so then Adams will be forced to keep de Idiot’s mandates in place. It’ll start off as temporary extensions, then Adams will morph into Dinkins and basically be another term of de Idiot.
Omicron is not a big deal. He’s just looking for an excuse to shut it down again.
When does DeBlasio stop being Mayor?
I don’t live anywhere near NY, but it’s still a major city and remains influential on what a mayor can get away with doing.
Very mild but any excuse to grow government.
The common cold moves really fast.
Shut down the planet before it spreads!
Go to Florida and virtually nobody wears those silly masks and they seem to be thriving. Also, isn't that where all the "old and vulnerable" people go to retire? Go to their over 55 communities and everybody's riding around in golf carts with no masks.
I can’t believe he’s made it this far. His security must be amazing.
My theory: he wants Caroline Kennedy to give him one of her "Profiles in Courage" awards, which she gives to Democrat politicians who do things that hurt most of the people they represent.
So long as California and New York continue to lie about the effect of this nonsense on their GDP they can keep up this idiocy...
Let’s go Wilhelm. His Fuhrership is coming to an end and his addiction to ‘power’ is causing his early withdrawal symptoms. One more gallop around the track before he’s put out to pasture. This big Pferd will produce a lot of glue however.
Mebe, instead of mandates they could pass a law....
On last night’s local evening news, they were encouraging teens to seek out those pop up tent vax places to get themselves jabbed. That’s it, sneak off behind your parents’ backs.
They’ve had TWO YEARS to expand medical capacity.
No “covid surge” should be a cause for alarm at this point.
