Last week, Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio (N.Y.) announced regular COVID testing is no longer enough and all city workers will need to be vaccinated by Oct. 29 or risk losing their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, our health commissioner is issuing an order requiring all city workers to be vaccinated,\u201d said de Blasio. \u201cThis will apply to all the agencies that are not covered yet, and we want to move quickly. Obviously, we\u2019ve given people a lot of time\u2026first in voluntary phase, then in the vaccinate or test phase. It\u2019s time to keep moving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of now, 71 percent of city employees have received at least one vaccine dose. However, that number is far lower among the city\u2019s firefighters, where only 55 percent have gotten vaccinated.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">People march &amp; hold a giant American flag to protest the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for New York municipal workers.
