NYC Set To Fire 3000 Vaccine Refusers Today [VIDEO]

New York City’s CBS News affiliate reports:

As many as 3,000 New York City public employees are expected to be fired Friday for failing to obey the COVID vaccine mandate. It was put in place by Mayor Bill de Blasio, and Mayor Eric Adams says he’s ready to enforce it.

Adams says as far as he’s concerned, he’s not firing anyone, they’re in essence quitting by refusing to comply. “We have to be very clear — people must be vaccinated if they are New York City employees. Everyone understood that,” Adams said.

Termination notices have been mailed and take effect Friday, targeting city workers who have been on leave without pay for declining to obey the city’s vaccine mandate. The exact number to be fired is still unknown but will be far less than 1% of the total workforce.
