De Blasio: 12,000 NYC Workers Seeking Vaccine Exemptions Will Likely Be Denied
When asked if the workers will see their requests granted, de Blasio suggested it will not turn out in their favor.
“I don’t want to prejudge except to say what we know from previous experience is that it was– certainly looking at Department of Education, we got a lot of requests for exemption,” he said. “Relatively few were granted.”
The mayor said the religious exemptions, particularly, are “pretty narrow criteria,” but the city believes it to be “very accurate” and “very fair.”
“So I think you’ll see a number of people ultimately find that the exemption is not approved, and then they still have that chance to correct get vaccinated come back,” he added, suggesting unvaccinated workers are making a fundamental mistake by seeking to make the decision for themselves:

On Tuesday, de Blasio boasted that 2,000 workers who were previously unvaccinated “did the right thing” and got their first shot in the last 24 hours. Overall, he said 92 percent of the city’s workforce is vaccinated, “proving that vaccine mandates work.”
