Defy Vaccine Mandates in Largest Protest Yet.

Wow. NY public servants tiring of the communists, speaking out against comrade De Blasio.


LInk to story


BY ENRICO TRIGOSO October 26, 2021 Updated: October 26, 2021


New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s mandate last week for all city workers to get COVID-19 vaccines gave rise to even more protesters standing up against what they see as a violation of freedom of choice and a communist takeover of the country.

The Epoch Times was there to interview some of the NYPD officers and FDNY participants, and witness the massive march across the Brooklyn Bridge that ended in front of City Hall on Monday afternoon.

Protesters chanted slogans as they marched in support of freedom and against the mandates issued by de Blasio and President Joe Biden.

Active FDNY Captain Jason Wendell of Engine 274 said that there were “thousands and thousands” of them present in the Monday march.

“New York City firefighters and police officers have been exposed for the last 20 months to COVID-19. Most of us have gotten the sickness and gotten over it perfectly well and have natural immunity,” Wendell said, “and the fact that the mayor and politicians are not acknowledging that the vast majority of us are already naturally immune is nothing short of tyrannical.”

“There were thousands and thousands of New York City firemen and New York City police officers, sanitation workers, and teachers here today to protest these obscene mandates.”

The mandate will affect 160,500 city employees, which includes first responders.

If they fail to show vaccination proof by Oct. 29, they will likely be sent home without pay.

“The city will become much more unsafe without first responders and police officers and sanitation workers keeping the city functioning, this will have a tremendous negative impact on the people of New York as you push out these workers from service,” Wendell added.

Paul, a 24-year-old NYPD officer, has been with the police for 3 years. He said that he joined the march because he’s being denied freedom of choice.

“It should be our choice,” Paul said. “I personally don’t want [the vaccine] and if it’s that effective for everyone else, then they shouldn’t care if we get it.”

“The messaging by the government was saying that it wasn’t effective … if the government’s telling that, then why would I get it. It’s not effective.”

Retired police officer Philip McManus worked for NYPD from 1990 to 2018.

“Why are we here? We’re here, it’s not just because of forced mandates, medical mandates. This is about freedom. This is the real issue, it’s about freedom. And we’re fighting a dictatorship in this country. We’re fighting a tyranny in our country. The reality is, we have a president who is forcing people to do something that is absolutely against their religious opinions or their medical decisions, and we have to do everything we can to fight for everyone. Everyone that was forced to be vaccinated needs to stand united for freedom. We all know what’s going on in this country. We have a communist takeover in this country. ”

“Give me liberty or give me death,” he said, quoting Patrick Henry’s famous words from 1775.

“How dare any politician, any corrupt politicians think that they could force Americans to take this vaccine?

“Wake up America! we’re fighting tyranny in this country. We are fighting communism in this country.

“We’re on the side of God and truth.”

George, 53, a retired fireman and veteran that worked for the FDNY for 22 and a half years, doesn’t want to get vaccinated because he believes they are dangerous.

“Real, deadly global pandemics don’t have [such] a [high] survival rate,” George said, “and if that’s the case, we don’t need [a] vaccine,” George said.

“If you surf on all the alternate media sites—not Facebook, Youtube, where they censor all that stuff—there are a million videos of people out there that get palsy, they got the shakes, one girl’s got giant blood clots in her cheeks, people are dying.”

“We’re in year two of ’15 days to slow the spread.’ And as a free American and a veteran, there’s not a politician alive in this country that has the power or authority to compel you, me, or anyone else to take the vaccine or wear a mask. We’re free Americans. It’s time for people to wake up,” George further noted.

“The very same crowd that wants to ban guns to ‘save the children’ while being champions of abortion, they’re saying ‘my body my choice.’ Oddly enough, ‘my body my choice’ doesn’t want to work for this.”

He added that just by being asked if you are vaccinated, it could count as a violation of the HIPAA medical privacy laws.

‘It’s About Control’
An NYPD officer who identified himself as “Qball and retirements” opined that the mandates might lead to a system of totalitarian technological control.

“I oppose the mandate because of the New World Order. It’s not about the virus. It’s about technology and control of the masses,” he said.

The Epoch Times also interviewed NYC special and general education pre-K teacher Jessica Castellon.

“I don’t believe experimental drugs should be mandated on children whose physical development and cognitive development is still unrolling. We don’t know the long-term effects of this on children. We don’t know the long-term effects of this on adults who already have fully formed functioning bodies. We don’t know what this will do to the children and we cannot afford to have America’s future generation imperiled by a drug, just to [line] the pockets of the politicians and those in Pfizer, Moderna, and all the other pharmaceutical companies,” Castellon said.

“The mandates have had a negative impact on teachers and others like teachers assistants and other staff members of the DOE [Department of Education] because they’re statewide. In New York State there is a statewide shortage of teachers, so when teachers are placed on unpaid leave, that stresses the sub central system. There are not enough substitute teachers to cover these absences.”

The Epoch Times reached out to the mayor’s office for comment.

The Epoch Times reported that in Chicago, the vast majority of firemen and police initially didn’t want to take the vaccine, but that situation changed after they started getting sent home without pay, facing a long, uncertain process with HR if they want to return.

Peter Svab and Sarah Lu contributed to this report.

Newsflash!!!

The Communist Takeover took place a while back, it's a done deal now, get used to it.


Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

We could win this war if the majority would say no and not comply. Shut the country down is a good start. No police, firefighters ,teachers, healthcare workers, city & state workers, airlines and other transportation, truckers, utility workers and all businesses.

Thats what they want to happen. Thats whats behind the supply chain shortage.

They want the shelves bare for years and people starving and anarchy.

Then, they can come in with their NWO economic reset plan promising two chickens in every pot for your guns and property - their planned economic reset.

Not going to argue that point, but what else we supposed to do comply and surrender or put up a fight?

Not if they are among the starving. They, the elites, are perfectly willing, as you state, for us to starve. But when they go without, well then you are getting their attention. Then it goes one of two ways: Either they capitulate, or they use force to make the goods flow (to them) again. If they resort to force, then will be the time to return force in kind. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I fear it might.

I don't see a downside to this unless those protesting back down. As it is, the elites are moving their plan forward without consequence. "We the people" need to find a way to make them suffer consequences for their unconstitutional actions.
