NYC Restaurateurs: Business Down 40-60% Due To Vaccine Mandate – New York City restaurateurs are complaining that their business has been slashed severely by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which requires people 12 and older to show vaccination proof for indoor dining, indoor fitness, and indoor entertainment.

Pre-pandemic, O’Donoghue’s Pub and Restaurant was a successful business that has been open for 10 years in Times Square, Manhattan. Fergal Burke, the owner of O’Donoghue’s noticed that his business has seen “a massive drop,” since the vaccine mandate came into effect. – READ MORE

2,500 DC health care workers miss vaccine mandate deadline, as many firefighters seek religious exemptions – Washington, D.C., city officials said nearly 2,500 health care workers have failed to comply with their COVID-19 mandate deadline requiring at least one dose of the inoculation by Thursday. Nearly 70% of those health care workers who have not yet been vaccinated have requested religious exemptions.

City Administrator Kevin Donahue said the largest number of exemption requests have come from the D.C. Fire and EMS Department, The Washington Post reported. About 267 of the agency’s some 2,000 employees have sought some type of exemption from the vaccine mandate, with the vast majority of that group citing their religion.

Fauci pressed if he should ‘step aside’ as an ‘impediment to public health’: ‘People won’t listen to you’ – Dr. Anthony Fauci faced a tough grilling over whether or not he should step aside as his critics view him as a deterrent in the Biden administration’s ongoing effort to vaccinate Americans.

During Wednesday’s appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Fauci was confronted by a list of COVID-era “controversies,” including the pause of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the ivermectin debate, the avoidance of natural immunity as well as his “noble lie” discouraging Americans from wearing masks in the early months of the pandemic to prevent an N95 shortage. – READ MORE


Fauci: ‘Too Soon to Tell’ if We Can Get Together for Christmas – National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head and chief White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” “it is just too soon to tell” if Christmas gatherings will be advised in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Anchor Margaret Brennan said, “There are two new studies out that show COVID has gotten better at transmitting through aerosols, just through the air. What does that mean? We’re going into cold weather, the holidays. Do people need to start looking around and say it is too risky to gather with family members if there are unvaccinated children?” – READ MORE

Louisiana’s Ochsner Health Imposes Insurance Fee for Unvaccinated Spouses of Employees – Louisiana’s Ochsner Health, the largest hospital system in the state, is imposing a fee on unvaccinated spouses of employees, requiring them to pay an health insurance fee of $100 per pay period if they remain unvaccinated.

Like many healthcare systems, Ochsner Health announced a vaccine mandate in August, requiring workers to get the jab or face termination. Employees are expected to be fully vaccinated by October 29. Those who do not will be suspended and face losing their job if they refuse. Exceptions are limited to those with medical issues or religious reasons. – READ MORE


J&J Vaccine Possibly Linked To Two More Serious Health Conditions, EU Regulator Finds –The European Union’s drug regulator on Oct. 1 recommended updating the label for Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine with warnings for two more serious health conditions likely linked with the vaccine.

School Boards Demand Biden Deploy Federal Law Enforcement To Meetings, Claim They Are Under ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Threat – A group of school boards sent a letter to President Joe Biden Thursday, demanding that the White House deploy “federal law enforcement and other assistance” to school board meetings, to help address the “growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation” as parents push back against districts teaching Critical Race Theory, mandate face masks for K-12 students and even discuss COVID-19 vaccination mandates.

According to NPR, the group, the National School Boards Association (NSBA), claims that school board meetings now require the presence of “Justice, Education and Homeland Security departments as well as the FBI,” citing a number of incidents, including one in Loudoun County, Virginia, where school board meetings have devolved into arguments requiring law enforcement involvement. – READ MORE


Remember that ‘Emergency Funding’ the States Needed Last March? Here’s What Happened to It – Last March, Joe Biden signed a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill. It had cash for taxpayers, for businesses, and — most controversially — $350 billion for state and local governments.

Republicans objected because Democrats at the state level were going to spend the money on non-pandemic-related issues. Most notably, some states like Illinois wanted the cash to bail out their state and local employee pension plans that had been robbed for years by Democrats and now threatened to explode in a massive “pension bomb” that would put taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars. – READ MORE
