New York City residents and visitors will be required to show proof of vaccination for indoor dining, gyms, and shows, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday.
The requirement, which mirrors mandates on leisure activities enforced in some European countries, is presumed to be the first-of-its-kind in the U.S. and comes as the Big Apple is seeing a delta-variant driven surge in new COVID-19 infections.
The program, dubbed “Key to NYC Pass,” will launch Aug. 16 and phase in over the coming weeks before officially kicking off Sept. 13, the start of the school year, de Blasio said in his daily briefing from City Hall.
The mayor, as well as many other cities across the country and the world, has been trying to incentivize individuals to get the COVID-19 vaccine as the delta variant continues to spread and claim lives. The proof-of-vaccination announcement follows last week’s announcement about a $100 cash incentive for vaccinations. The cash incentive has proven effective so far, with over 11,000 individuals receiving their first dose of the vaccination in the four days since the program started. The mayor announced that 5 million New Yorkers have gotten at least 1 dose of the vaccine, Fox News reported.
We need to protest! Oh and how do I get a fake pass
Simply avoid public places – this is how u fight back with your $!
May not have your best interests in mind. Beware of those in your community who will want to get you arrested for this “for the greater good.”
I’m sure you have ingested worse things
Get rid of Deblasio!@
Virtual tours around the globe … we been there already, no?
Sad reality when government rule over individual health choices…
I would suggest to focus on a crime in NYC and around and not on covid
And all of the other paid “frum” shills (Ami, Mishpocha, local “physicians” organizations) who sold out the people of NY for millions of government dollars in advertising. Your brainswashing media campaigns haven’t worked, and coercion is the next step. How dare New Yorkers reject government mandates to inject themselves with an experimental chemical substance that doesn’t work – and leads to nonstop subsequent “booster” shots ($$$$)!
Why not listen to frum doctors and rabbonim instead of right wing idiots (who by the way get paid millions to whip up fear and panic). Why do you trust them instead of the doctors and rabbonim dedicated to the kla for decades. What do the right wing bloviating idiots care about our community?
it is always healthy to keep an open mind..
you just might be on the wrong side of history
Sorry to burst your bubble, but fear and panic did not come from conservatives. The Great Reset is what this is all about, and the “news” is where the fear and panic infects you. Look up “COVID-19: The Great Reset” by Klaus Schwab (German) who chairs the World Economic Forum. He politely explains how this “covid crisis” will bring about a whole new world – and no, he’s not talking about what you think. Schwab has stated clearly that after The Great Reset there will be no ownership, no privacy, no meat eating, no cash – but you will be… Read more »
this is a violation of individual rights
Name the article, section, and paragraph of the constitution being violated?
There is no long-term data supporting the safety and efficacy of these mRNA shots.
When did an observant community become obsessed with the constitution, outside religious rights? I would expect- hope to hear comments based on Torah and Shulchan Aruch and all the unvaccinated speak is regarding constitutional right…
Yeah what’s this craziness that people care about their own rights, insane right? Everyone should just shut up and obey! Ugh
(Sarcasm)
You name any provision in the constitution that isn’t being violated by this.
Lack of democracy at its finest.
If you make a fake or buy vaccine card, it is a federal offense. Amazing, but true. The vaccines are safe. Get them and stop the anti vax garbage.
I had Covid. Why should I take a ‘safe’ vaccine where ‘safe’ means bad things happen only very rarely. Natural Immunity is by logic and available evidence stronger and more durable than the vaccines’ See this recent study (re: gamma mutation) From (CDC.gov) https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/10/21-1427_article Regarding immune status, 25/44 (56.8%) were fully vaccinated with BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech, https://www.pfizer.com External Link ); 3/6 workers who had a history of COVID-19 were vaccinated with a single injection, according to the guidelines of France (2) (Table). Several BNT162b2 batch numbers were involved. Vaccine temperature had been monitored and electronically recorded by LogTag Analyzer (LogTag Recorders, http://www.logtag-recorders.com… Read more »
this might be the worse dangerous vaccine ever. and the proof, if they are paying up to $5k and letting criminals out for taking the shot, everyone knows how dangerous it is . just lay down and obey ?? the Rebbe came to America so we don’t have to do that anymore. next is yellow starts and the gas chambers
The Rebbe said to follow the medical doctors.
Another joke
A proper lubavitcher would ask their doctor about the vaccine and do what they say. The mainstream medical community says get the vaccines.
Thats not true!
The rebbe clearly said listen to the doctors.The doctors are clearly saying to take the vaccine!
The Rebbe never said listen to the doctors.
There is no THE DOCTORS.
There are doctors. You have to take medical advice from doctors true, but they don’t have to be on the Government and Big tech list of approval
Who has YOUR best interest
Thousands are saying NOT to. And many are scared to speak out.
Our Rebbe told us to speak to a rofeh yedid , by doing so we are putting our bitachon in Hashem who is the ultimate DR. the rofeh yedid is just His messenger. If we cant trust our DRs for this, then pleas dont call 911 or your fmaliy dr for other medical advise
In these upside-down times there is no such thing as “mainstream” anything. All opinions outside Fauci and the CDC are canceled! Google, Facebook, and the AMA are getting orders from the CDC. This is not the America you grew up in. The European Union Database for Adverse Drug Reactions lists 20,595 dead and 1,960,607 injured from these injections. Look it up. U.S. VAERS data shows 11,940 deaths and 518, 769 reports of adverse events from the injections – and a CDC whistleblower just announced that the numbers are exponentially higher since only 1% gets reported to VAERS. Lawsuits have begun.… Read more »
Everyone is allowed to use their own brains and decide what they want to do, don’t make this into a if you’re a “proper lubavicher” thing, if you’re a proper lubavicher you wouldn’t say that.
The Rebbe did say that you should ask your רופא ידיד about such things.
Doesn’t just mean “a doctor”. It means your own doctor whom you trust to guide you in your personal situation. Mainstream media doesn’t count as a doctor, certainly no reliable source.
I guarantee that if c’v you break a leg, you’ll call your real doctor instead of the anti vaxxers you found on YouTube.
the Rebbe gave clear directives. You can choose to follow them or not.
The Rebbe said to follow the doctors and the rabbonim. Both the doctors and rabbonim have been unequivocal about this. So the OP is correct: you cannot be anti-vax and call yourself a chassid. You’re a misnaged.
When did our Rabbonim say we all have to all take a Covid vaccine. One.
And even if you’ve recovered from Covid. Two.
I am pro vaccine, but I do think that is a bit harsh to say. Perhaps we would be better to say that they are overcome by the rumors and false information.
There is no mainstream medical community. There are doctors.
And mainstream now days means Government approved no more no less. There is no world in which one solitary nobody of a doctor is running the show in DC.
Check this out and tell me Peter Mccullough is not ‘mainstream’ medical community.
The Government and public health officials and Big Tech have blood on their hands.
Someone who has your best interest (still searching for a dr like that)
the rebbe once replied to someone asking about the vaccine..
one of the things the rebbe responded is to check if the company of the vaccine has liability.
indisputable fact: they have ZERO liability
(ill get you the a pfizer contract that states this in bold)
What happened to natural immunity ?? ???
Were these deaths caused by covid or MEDICAL NEGLECT?
Since when are people IGNORED in the hospital? Not treated with PROVEN therapeutics (like Trump was) – not given food – forced to be ventilated when this was shown to be UNNECESSARY and deadly!!
The comments here–which are so predictable–just reinforce my conclusion that I’m in the wrong community.
Anyways, I’m glad about the mandate. I hope the officials aren’t distracted or discouraged by the uneducated, brainwashed mobs of deplorables whose leaders are Dr. Z and the My Pillow Guy.
I’m a medical professional and I’m not getting the shot. I’m not brainwashed. A lot of medical professionals are choosing not to get the vaccine at this time. Science is constantly evolving, and it’s normal to question the safety of a new vaccine. Just because majority of people are doing something does not make it right or just. I encourage you to do your research.
I hope you lose your license for spreading disinformation that could kill people.
If you even have one…
You just demonstrated so eloquently what happens when your rofeh yedid speaks out against the vaccine. You just threatened and accused someone who presents as a medical professional for speaking their truth, what they believe. Then in the same breath yiu say to listen to your doctor. So, what happens to a doctor that speaks out against the vaccine?????
It is sad that many people will not trust their doctor. So many people are believing all the conspiracy theories. I got the vaccine and so did my wife. No issues. Using your own brains to decide what to do? On all medical issues I ask my doctor. I am not a doctor, but I do know math. I do see the numbers in Florida and Louisiana. I see how Israel has vaccinated most of its population with little problems. Or you can choose to believe I heard stories. I heard it causes this or that. We all want to… Read more »
53% of the vaccinated in Israel were infected with the Delta variant, compared with 42% among the unvaccinated. Does the covid vaccine work? Clearly, NO. Are there potential side effects? Clearly, YES. Blood clots, stroke, heart inflammation, severe viral expression during the next outbreak (ADE). Who isn’t getting Delta? THE RECOVERED. Acquiring natural immunity is the best way to prevent covid – whether Delta or any other new variant that will come in the future. Early treatment with therapeutics is the obvious solution. Dr. Harvey Risch, MD, PhD, from Yale does not agree with you. Neither does Dr. Peter McCoullough,… Read more »
Dr’s job isn’t to be your G-d that you “trust”. They’re people like us with a degree in medicine, so they can dole out medicine where they see it’s necessary. Idk when ppl started putting them on this pedestal that they must be trusted and can’t possibly be wrong, ever, including about a brand new mRNA injected drug they can’t possibly know enough about to even form an opinion, let alone have you trust them on it 100%.
Bruh
Majority of ppl that have COVID now have been vaccinated. So vaccine protects you from nothing. You’re safe fighting COVID with your own uncompromised (by vaccine) immune system.
Please note that in Israel one-third of the new Covid infections are of fully vaccinated . In Los Angeles so far one 1 in 5 new Covid infections are fully vaccinated people, that will keep on going up as the vaccine loses its efficiency over time. Not only that, but if fully vaccinated people get infected, they can transmit the virus to the exact same extent as people who have never been vaccinated, and they can infect you. The vaccine does save people from death, that is true, but it is definitely not perfect at all as far as preventing… Read more »
this is false information. Get your facts straight. Lets try to use facts, not make up not truths. The vaccines work very well. Are they perfect? Of course not, but they are very good and the best way to get back to normal life.
What does normal life mean?
Hopefully this will encourage more people to get vaccinated and do the right thing. I hope every state in this country follows NYs lead.
But I am not going to give up my personal health information just to get a slice of pizza. It’s none of their business and if they are vaccinated then it doesn’t make a difference if i was vaccinated or not
Did anyone see the news out TODAY? By the CDC??? The vaccine isn’t working so well…. “The data, released in the agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, stemmed from recent outbreaks in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, in which 74% of some 469 COVID-19 cases occurred in fully vaccinated individuals. Sequencing from 133 patients suggested the delta variant was behind nearly all (89%) of samples. Nearly 80% of the breakthrough infections resulted in symptomatic illness, with four of five hospitalizations among the fully vaccinated and no reported deaths. Two patients hospitalized had an underlying health condition. What’s more, in a statement accompanying… Read more »
Yes, the information you presented was on all the news outlets. It was also on the front page of the New York Times. Just as you write, according to the CDC, 74% of those who were infected with Covid had been fully vaccinated in Barnstable, Mass.
So many uninformed comments on this article regarding the vaccine.
This vaccine saves lives.
Go. Get. Vaccinated.
What seems uninformed to you is to others considered highly informed. People who know the ingredients, the potential side effects the motives behind the shot and safe treatments in case of infection. Those not aware of the major censorship and falling for the narrative it the uninformed.
You have no right to say go.get.vaccinated. every medical procedure is a CHOICE. Don’t pretend there are no side effects and this is like taking a sugar pill. There is so much evidence of increased heart attack, blood clots, tremors stroke and death from these vaccines. So no we will not just Go.Get.Vaccinated.
This should Gd willing motivate more people to get vaccinated.
I can’t believe so many Orthodox Jews on COL are anti-vaccines. Last I checked, saving one life is like saving the entire world. Get the vaccine, do a mitzvah, protect somebody’s child or grandparent.
Hashem gave us science for a reason. Hashem gives us doctors the same way He gives us teachers and rabbis. If you trust in Gd then you trust in Gds messengers.
Nothing will motivate those who do not want it. Once you see what’s really in these shots and the real goal of these vaccines are. No amount of threatening and labeling “anti vaxx, conspiracy theory, killer, misnaged, anti science…” nothing will chage our mind.
I hope it doesn’t take the death of a loved one to get you to do the right thing.
The right thing would be to visit your grandparents and parents and feed them nourishing nutritious foods and let them have nachas from there children and grandchildren (obviously not if they have a cold/fever)
So if I have health concerns about the vaccine which has unfortunately caused untold damage to so many- (of course which are being suppressed in the media,) you actually think we’ll change our mind so we can eat out? We’ll change our mind cuz of freebies? I guess you are lucky that you don’t know people who are suffering or not alive soon after the shot, but we do, and all this ridiculous attempts at motivating or coercing us will. Not. Work. We. Won’t. Inject. Ourselves. With. Risky. Chemicals. And to those trying to use the Rebbe here, the Rebbe… Read more »
We’re vaccinated… it’s not a big deal. If you are afraid of a little pinch and to be sore for a few days then you’ll be living in fear your entire life while everyone else gets to move on.
most people over 60 have already gotten the vaccine.
those who dont want to take it are usually not really vulnerable,so why take it?
I wish I can save children and grandparents just by getting the vaccine… unfortunately though it’s not true, it’s harming both and myself chas veshalom if I do
I use Quercetin and Zinc, together with vitamins C and D3. You can get the correct doses in one capsule. No prescription needed. Available from koshervitamins dot com. I am not recommending it. But I do recommend asking your doctor about it… and/or other substances that prevent, and perhaps cure, Covid. I choose to believe I am protected from the virus – without side effects – or other risks that all vaccines have. And in the meantime I am strengthening my immune system. I think the RESPONSE to Covid has been along the lines of religion that follows the trends… Read more »
As a child of Immigrant parents who came from the Former USSR this is very scary where this is going, my father grew up in Balshevik Russia where every Place he traveled to he had to register with the local NKVD / KGB office in order to live & travel, how different is this Vaccine passport thing from that? Answer_ IT’S NO DIFFERENT, DON’T KID YOURSELF!!!!!!! This should be litigated in Federal Court which likely wouldn’t stand, but if it does stand should simply be ignored by the massas. DONT BE FOOLED, THIS IS THE SAME IDEA just branded in… Read more »
We are trying to save you from a cruel and lonely death after being hooked up to a ventilator. Whatever, some things you’ll have to learn the hard way
