Anti-Vax NYC Council Member Granted Jesus Pass

January 21, 2022 Covidiots, Republicans

The New York Daily News reports:

In God — but not vaccine mandates — she trusts. Controversial Queens Councilwoman Vickie Paladino has been granted a waiver on “religious” grounds to attend City Council meetings in-person despite refusing to disclose whether she’s vaccinated against COVID-19, her son said Thursday.

She could not be reached for comment, but was spotted walking into the office of Councilman Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) after the meeting. Borelli, the Council’s GOP minority leader, defended Paladino’s right to remain mum about her vaccination status. “It’s no one’s damn business,” Borelli said.

The New York Post reports:



The maneuverings came a week after Paladino ignited a firestorm by comparing the Council’s vaccine policies — which mirror requirements imposed by City Hall on its workforce and private employers — to Adolph Hitler’s reign of terror.

“I don’t need to show you my papers. This is not Nazi Germany,” the lawmaker told NY1 in a televised interview last week. The comparison drew international rebuke, prompting Paladino to apologize.
