New York City will begin requiring proof of vaccination to access a wide-ranging set of indoor activities, such as restaurant dining, drinking at a bar, exercising at a gym, or seeing a live performance, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday.
“If you want to participate in our society fully, you’ve got to get vaccinated,” the mayor said at his daily press briefing on Tuesday. “It’s time.”
New York is the first major city in the country to adopt such a move, which the mayor is calling the “Key to NYC Pass.” It comes as the Delta variant upends the progress the city has made in fighting the coronavirus.
Countries such as France and Italy have already adopted the measure; on the first day after French President Emmanuel Macron announced the mandate, millions of people booked appointments.
The new policy will launch on Aug. 16, but won’t be enforced until Sept. 13 so businesses can get acclimated and the city can make adjustments based on feedback.
De Blasio said they are considering proof of vaccination for other things, such as shopping. Imagine if you couldn’t buy food unless you proved you were vaccinated.

Americans may call it brainwashing but rather it should be common sense. Millions of people have seen contagion movies and thought it was just entertainment I guess. Next time people should open a history textbook.

Good, there should be penalties for being part of the problem
Can order everything on Amazon if I have to. And the nature is wide open. More time to read, hike, boat and enjoy the outdoors.
