New York City mayor Eric Adams announced today that Covid vaccines will become “optional” for city workers, starting on February 10 – a move in line with other Democrats, running cities and states, but at odds with the stance long held by President Biden.
The Biden administration has gone to court to keep special powers made possible by the president’s Covid emergency declaration, including powers to end evictions for tenants who failed to pay their rent, expanding healthcare subsidies, and other measures. Significantly, presidential orders remain in place requiring soldiers to get the jab or face legal consequences.
