Long overdue. Shows what a great leader De Blasio and his boss Cuomo are.

Unvaccinated people can just go maskless and claim to be vaccinated. When asked "where is your vaccination card?" They can just answer "with my voter registration card. I don't need to have that with me EVER AGAIN either."

@Kaerimashita Is this the same Cuomo that sent positive Covid patients into nursing homes, lied about the actual number of nursing home deaths and profited on book sales while being fully responsible for thousands of nursing home deaths?
Really good leader.

“Shutting down was easy. Reopening is hard," Wylde said after a meeting last week with a group of CEOs. "All the employers say that there still is fear and some resistance to coming back.”
At least in NYC many were given the option and means to do so.
Andrew Yang for mayor and his policy platform could once again make NYC a progressive world leader and dynamic ideal.

yes I find it curious that all the reasons why people cant get an ID to vote seem to not apply to being able to get an ID that says one is vaccinated.

An interesting comparison. A vaccine ID is a free government-issued ID, available to all who want it.
Perhaps you're right. Only people with vaccine IDs should be allowed to vote.

And the bully boy and his idiot grifter kids are a lot closer to prison.
Man, NYC is looking up.

Voting is a constitutional right. Unmasking is a privilege.
In an interconnected society, individuals have responsibilities as well as rights
I feel like this should have been taught in school. Maybe he forgot.

NY people and the northeast states are ahead of other states in achieving herd immunity through vaccinations
They're reaping the benefits, e.g. subways again operating 24/7. They've earned the privilege, but they're still cautious - many still wear masks inside shops

Good luck.

I think most people in NYC would vehemently disagree with that, but there is some relief that life is turning back to normal, people can start ditching their masks and DeBlasio will soon be out of office. So I'm sure the majority of New Yorkers can finally breath a sigh of relief.....without the mask.
