=== Vaccinated Society (05:49) ===

[00:00:00]  If you want to participate in our society fully, you've got to get vaccinated.
[00:00:05]  It's time.
[00:00:07]  It's going to be a requirement.
[00:00:10]  Is that legal?
[00:00:11]  I just don't understand exactly.
[00:00:17]  The only way to patronize these establishments is if you're vaccinated at least one dose.
[00:00:25]  About 66% of the adults in the city are fully vaccinated.
[00:00:31]  So, let's see.
[00:00:33]  So, that means, well, that's fully vaccinated.
[00:00:39]  So, you figure 75% have...
[00:00:42]  Right, 56% of the American population.
[00:00:46]  But in New York, so 60% are fully, 66%.
[00:00:52]  So, I assume, let's say 70% have at least one dose.
[00:00:58]  So, that means 30% of New Yorkers will not be allowed into a restaurant.
[00:01:05]  Will they be allowed into a subway car?
[00:01:11]  certainly a lot closer to people in a subway car than in a restaurant.
[00:01:14]  The, the, that Americans accept this, Remember, in the name of safety, every other civil right is now trampled on.
[00:01:28]  That is all you have to say is safety.
[00:01:31]  There is zero reason to believe it matters.
[00:01:35]  My friends, is it not...
[00:01:38]  I don't understand why people just don't ask the question.
[00:01:43]  If the vaccine works, what the hell do I care if the guy next to me is vaccinated?
[00:01:48]  Huh?
[00:01:51]  Well, it doesn't always work.
[00:01:53]  Okay, it doesn't always work.
[00:01:57]  So if you don't have a comorbidity, and if you have a comorbidity, it's a problem in any event.
[00:02:04]  Because a lot of vaccinated people are getting it.
[00:02:08]  So what does that say?
[00:02:11]  It's all hokum.
[00:02:13]  Just hokum.
[00:02:15]  But the acceptance of people, that alone would chase me out of New York City.
[00:02:22]  I would not live in a city where I could not go to a restaurant.
[00:02:26]  And by the way, this will apply, obviously, to children.
[00:02:30]  I mean, by children I mean over 12 or over 16. I don't know what the age is now.
[00:02:34]  Is it 12?
[00:02:36]  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?
[00:02:50]  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?
[00:03:03]  I would get the hell out of New York City.
[00:03:09]  Question is, will this sickness spread?
[00:03:12]  This would be enough, I have to say, for me to leave California.
[00:03:17]  If that, I'm asked all the time why I stay here, and of course the answer is people.
[00:03:24]  And I will admit.
[00:03:26]  On selfish grounds, the climate doesn't hurt.
[00:03:30]  But people is the primary reason.
[00:03:35]  I have a whole life here, a whole world here.
[00:03:39]  And it's a rich world, and it's a happy world.
[00:03:43]  It's a religious world, it's a secular world.
[00:03:48]  But if this happened, that would mean that I could no longer live here.
[00:03:56]  Even the amazing thing is to think about it.
[00:04:05]  Children will have to be vaccinated in New York to enter a restaurant.
[00:04:10]  People who had COVID have the antibodies from COVID but didn't take the vaccine, they will not be allowed into a restaurant.
[00:04:20]  And this is all science-based?
[00:04:25]  To give kids an experimental vaccine is science-based?
[00:04:30]  To demand that people who had COVID get a vaccine is science-based?
[00:04:36]  It's a rape of the term science, but it's already been raped.
[00:04:40]  It doesn't mean anything any longer.
[00:04:42]  It means nothing when I hear I follow science.
[00:04:46]  It's like saying I believe in God.
[00:04:48]  What God do you believe in?
[00:04:49]  What science do you believe in?
[00:04:51]  Do you believe in malleable science?
[00:04:53]  Anybody who says they believe in science, ask them, do you believe there are two sexes?
[00:04:58]  Okay?
[00:04:59]  Then you'll know if they believe in science or not.
[00:05:01]  Just as a very quick question.
[00:05:06]  Or is it an infinitely malleable spectrum?
[00:05:13]  Is there a spectrum among other primates?
[00:05:16]  Among other mammals?
[00:05:18]  Only among humans there's a spectrum.
[00:05:21]  There's a non-binary spectrum in sex identification, isn't there?
[00:05:27]  Isn't that strange?
[00:05:28]  I thought we were animals.
[00:05:32]  New York City, Bill de Blasio.

=== What If It Goes Away? (00:46) ===

[00:05:35]  Oh, my God.
[00:05:38]  Key to New York Pass.
[00:05:40]  The strategy of requiring proof of vaccination for workers and customers at indoor dining, gyms, entertainment, and the performances, including Broadway.
[00:05:51]  Indoor movies and concerts will also require people to show proof of vaccination to enter.
[00:05:57]  By the way, for how long will they keep this on?
[00:06:00]  Isn't that an interesting question?
[00:06:02]  What if it goes away in six months?
[00:06:07]  It went away in one month in Britain.
[00:06:10]  So what if it goes away?
[00:06:12]  What's going to happen?
[00:06:17]  Here's my prediction.
[00:06:20]  The past won't go away.
