While mask mandates and vaccine requirements are constantly changing, one thing remains the same: hypocrisy. On Thursday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced he was ending the employer vaccine mandate… only for the elite world of professional athletes and performers.
“Today I signed an emergency executive order expanding the performance exemption to the private employer vaccine mandate” said Adams in a press conference.
Not long ago, New York City residents were not allowed to go to the gym and were refused service by any public place without showing a vaccination card. Not long ago, our country’s most valued frontline workers and military men and women in uniform were fired from their jobs, their livelihoods completely shattered because they remained unvaccinated.
But not to worry, Adams assured the people his decision was not made “loosely or haphazardly.” That must make the nurses, cops and teachers who can’t pay their rent feel much better.
Nope; then comes the biggest slap in the face of all. “We’re making it because this city has to function” said Adams. And that right there is the liberal mindset. Millionaires playing with leather balls is more valuable to society and its continued function than literally anyone else.
Adams continued, saying the definition of healthy should not just mean “only physically healthy” but also “economically healthy.” Yet again, tell that to the thousands of individuals who were forced out of their lifelong careers for the very thing, Mr. Mayor, that you are allowing millionaires, also known as ‘economically healthy’, people to do.
National Review reports:
The exemption for athletes and entertainers comes ahead of the upcoming baseball season, opening the field for unvaccinated Mets and Yankees to play home games too. Roughly two-thirds of Yankees players and at least ten Mets remain unvaccinated and will now be able to participate, Jon Heyman of the MLB Network noted.
