If you want to participate in our society fully, you've got to get vaccinated.
It's time.
It's going to be a requirement.
Is that legal?
I just don't understand exactly.
The only way to patronize these establishments is if you're vaccinated at least one dose.
About 66% of the adults in the city are fully vaccinated.
So, let's see.
So, that means, well, that's fully vaccinated.
So, you figure 75% have...
Right, 56% of the American population.
But in New York, so 60% are fully, 66%.
So, I assume, let's say 70% have at least one dose.
So, that means 30% of New Yorkers will not be allowed into a restaurant.
Will they be allowed into a subway car?
certainly a lot closer to people in a subway car than in a restaurant.
The, the, that Americans accept this, Remember, in the name of safety, every other civil right is now trampled on.
That is all you have to say is safety.
There is zero reason to believe it matters.
My friends, is it not...
I don't understand why people just don't ask the question.
If the vaccine works, what the hell do I care if the guy next to me is vaccinated?
Huh?
Well, it doesn't always work.
Okay, it doesn't always work.
So if you don't have a comorbidity, and if you have a comorbidity, it's a problem in any event.
Because a lot of vaccinated people are getting it.
So what does that say?
It's all hokum.
Just hokum.
But the acceptance of people, that alone would chase me out of New York City.
I would not live in a city where I could not go to a restaurant.
And by the way, this will apply, obviously, to children.
I mean, by children I mean over 12 or over 16. I don't know what the age is now.
Is it 12?
So a 13-year-old who's not vaccinated, about whom we have no idea whether or not this vaccine will have any ramifications in his or her life later?
When children die more of flu than of COVID? Do I more of car accidents than of COVID? And we're going to tell them you can't step into a restaurant?
I would get the hell out of New York City.
Question is, will this sickness spread?
This would be enough, I have to say, for me to leave California.
If that, I'm asked all the time why I stay here, and of course the answer is people.
And I will admit.
On selfish grounds, the climate doesn't hurt.
But people is the primary reason.
I have a whole life here, a whole world here.
And it's a rich world, and it's a happy world.
It's a religious world, it's a secular world.
But if this happened, that would mean that I could no longer live here.
Even the amazing thing is to think about it.
Children will have to be vaccinated in New York to enter a restaurant.
People who had COVID have the antibodies from COVID but didn't take the vaccine, they will not be allowed into a restaurant.
And this is all science-based?
To give kids an experimental vaccine is science-based?
To demand that people who had COVID get a vaccine is science-based?
It's a rape of the term science, but it's already been raped.
It doesn't mean anything any longer.
It means nothing when I hear I follow science.
It's like saying I believe in God.
What God do you believe in?
What science do you believe in?
Do you believe in malleable science?
Anybody who says they believe in science, ask them, do you believe there are two sexes?
Okay?
Then you'll know if they believe in science or not.
Just as a very quick question.
Or is it an infinitely malleable spectrum?
Is there a spectrum among other primates?
Among other mammals?
Only among humans there's a spectrum.
There's a non-binary spectrum in sex identification, isn't there?
Isn't that strange?
I thought we were animals.
New York City, Bill de Blasio.
Oh, my God.
Key to New York Pass.
The strategy of requiring proof of vaccination for workers and customers at indoor dining, gyms, entertainment, and the performances, including Broadway.
Indoor movies and concerts will also require people to show proof of vaccination to enter.
