The Key to NYC Pass
Christine and Keith don’t agree with Mayor Deblasio’s mandate of requiring NYC residents to get vaccinated to gain access to all places and services because they find that a lot of people don’t find vaccines safe, and some are not yet FDA-approved and are only for emergency use. Christine doesn’t approve of anybody being forced to do something they don’t believe in or are afraid of, whether they belong in the industry or not.
The Repercussions of Requiring Vaccinations
The mandate will be fully enforced on September 13 and Christine foresees that people will be fined and will protest, small businesses will have to go online again, and the involvement of the different government agencies will lead to a huge mess. Requiring vaccinations for hourly employees will again see a decrease in hourly employees and will greatly affect the restaurants.
