Vaccine standards

Big Apple athletes and performers who haven't received their COVID-19 vaccine shots now won't be barred from taking the court or stage.  New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday that he was dropping the mandate that all city-based athletes and performers show proof of vaccination to take part in their game or event. Adams said his decision was based on the city's low COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations and the city's goal to restart its economy. But not everyone was thrilled with the mayor's decision, particularly some unions representing city workers who are required to show proof of vaccination to work. NY City fire fighters and police lost their jobs because they refused to get vaccinated. These are the people who were on the job before vaccines during the height of the Covid problem. They are still not allowed to work. Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving refused to get vaccinated but he is now allowed to play. His case is similar to the city employees but he is judged under a different standard.
