The FDNY shuttered 26 fire companies citywide on Saturday due to staff shortages caused by the COVID-19 vaccination mandate, according to furious elected officials, who ripped the move as “unconscionable” — and warned it could have catastrophic consequences. The shutdown came amid a pitched battle between City Hall, which on Monday will start enforcing a mandate that all city workers have at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and jab-resisting firefighters, many reportedly saying they were already sick with the coronavirus and therefore have “natural immunity.”
Nicole Malliotakis (R-SI, Brooklyn) said 26 companies shuttered — five in her district — and laid the blame on Mayor de Blasio. “If someone dies due to a slower emergency response, it’s on Bill de Blasio and his overreaching mandates. I hope this fool fixes it ASAP!” she tweeted. Some residents rallied outside of the Ladder Company 149 in Dyker Heights to support the firefighters.
Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said the department “has not closed any firehouses. “Irresponsible bogus sick leave by some of our members is creating a danger for New Yorkers and their fellow Firefighters,” Nigro said. “They need to return to work or risk the consequences of their actions.”This is one of those situation of semantics. There are 26 fire companies what are "shuttered" which probably means that they are closed (at least temporarily). The fire chief (who would be ultimately responsible for pushing the vaccine mandate) is pushing back saying that they are not "closed'. If you come to the middle on this, they are simply unable to open 26 fire houses because of lack of personnel.
The firefighters are blaming the vaccine mandate. The chief is blaming the fire fighters. But more and more and more we have people pushing back against this. We have economic problems, we have supply chain problems, we have staffing problems, and we have problems regarding these problems. All of this is a direct result of policy being put in place by liberal politicians across the country.

What do “road kill” and a CDC sponsored COVID paper have in common? By the third day, they’re so picked apart they’re unrecognizable.
This @CDCDirector is shameless for fabricating junk science with findings that stand in stark contrast to every credible academic study.

New CDC study: Among adults hospitalized with symptoms similar to COVID-19, unvaccinated people who had COVID-19 recently were 5 times more likely to test positive for COVID-19 than people who were recently fully vaccinated. http://bit.ly/MMWR7044e1
CDC uses this paper to make the absurd, never before claimed, and already unproven assertion, that the vaccine is 5x more effective than natural immunity at preventing people from testing positive for COVID.
Testing! Not symptoms, death, or hospitalization… testing!
...
The irony of this study is when they went looking for people hospitalized with COVID-like symptoms they found over 6,000 who were vaccinated and only 1,000 who were unvaccinated and had a prior COVID infection.
I thought they told us 99% of hospitalizations were unvaccinated?
just part of the thread
CDC is now politicized junk science
Joe Biden's America
any wonder why people have vaccine hesitancy
