Vaccine-reluctant New York firefighters took to the streets Monday to demonstrate against the city's requirement that they get inoculated against Covid-19 or risk losing their jobs.

Several thousand municipal workers, mostly firefighters, marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall in Manhattan carrying placards that read "Do we ask your vaccine status when you call 911?" and "Essential yesterday, unemployed today."

Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio announced last week that all public employees, including police officers and firefighters, will have to get vaccinated by November 1 or they will be placed on unpaid leave until they can provide proof of a shot.

6. They should ask

My grandson, an EMT, got infected early into the pandemic. He didn't know what precautions to take then. They have learned since.

4. Odd way to get NYC news....from a French press agency

filtered through Raw Story.

WPIX NY has good (and more nuanced) coverage of the anti-mandate protests.
