    Is voting an indoor activity? Will New Yorkers have to show their vaccine cards in order to enter the polls? If someone is not vaccinated, are they prohibited from voting at the poll? Just wondering………

      A polling location is not a “restaurant, gym or a businesses”

        In my community voting actually does happen at a business in a banquet facility. I’m sure my community isn’t alone.

          Voting is not commerce. It may occur where commerce happens, but the act of voting is not an act of business – you don’t exchange goods or services when you go vote.

      Yes it is an indoor activity. In my home, where I safely vote by mail in ballot.

    I cannot understand why they are pushing for the vaccine. We know people that have been vaccinated can still spread the virus, can still get the virus, still have to wear masks and socially distance. So what am I missing? What’s the benefit?

      The vaccine significantly reduces the chances that you’ll get a severe infection, require hospitalization, and/or die from C19. ~99% of all C19 hospitalizations and deaths are from the unvaccinated now. If you want to drastically improve your chances of staying out of the hospital and staying out of a morgue, I suggest you get vaccinated.

        You know what, Rosenblatt, at this point, why even waste your breath? If Tucker and Laura tell them misinformation about the vaccine, and they believe it, then let them find out the hard way. Countless reports of unvaccinated patients wishing they wouldn’t have listened to the Fox false narrative. Hoping they can take the vaccination and be saved. Finding out it’s too late and having to tell their families good bye for good. Most of these patients are in their 30’s and 40’s. The Children’s Hospital here doesn’t have a single bed open because too many Americans have decided to make the pandemic political. Let’s bring back Polio while we’re at it! Any other plagues we can revisit? Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!

          I’ll tell you a few reasons why I care, and the first you already touched on.

          1) They’re putting the health and safety of kids at risk. Not just their own kids, but kids of parents who believe the vaccine is effective and they want to protect their child, but can’t as it’s not approved for the young’uns yet. I don’t want to see anyone’s kid get sick or have to be put on a ventilator. It’s heart breaking.

          2) The more hosts the virus has, the more it’ll replicate and the more variants we’ll see.

          The more variants we’ll see, the higher the chance that we’ll see a C19 variant that drops vaccine effectiveness or a variant that will evade the vaccine entirely.

          Then we’re back to March 2020 when there was no vaccine, we had to endure lockdowns and this becomes an endemic and not just a pandemic.

          edit: The more variants we’ll see, the higher the chance that we’ll see a C19 variant that **continues to drop** vaccine effectiveness or a variant that will evade the vaccine entirely.

          Delta already did this…
