The Ugly New Yorker
During a press conference today to push vaccines as the primary mitigation effort against COVID-19 ‘delta variant’ [full video here], New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told private businesses to start a vaccine-only admission practice.
Cuomo said he thinks implementing “vaccine-only admission” will help incentivize New Yorkers to get inoculated. “If you say to people, ‘Well, if you don’t have a vaccine, you can’t get into these establishments,’ then you will see a real incentive to get vaccinated,” he said. WATCH:
The attitude displayed in this brief soundbite is exactly the reason why many people in the land of freedom have a horrible opinion of New Yorkers in general. The self-centered arrogance and condescending tone on display is ugly to many people, myself included. This attitude is why people don’t want New Yorker’s moving to their area.
My vaccination status is none of your business. If you want to live in fear then stay home. Your paranoia is not my concern.
