Republicans who don't represent New York City are mad it is requiring vaccination

After fighting against national COVID safety measures, GOP lawmakers are now trying to tell local governments not to implement them.

House Republicans are blasting a new COVID-19 safety requirement implemented by New York City, including several who don't represent districts anywhere near the city.

"Mayor de Blasio will impose a first-in-the-nation vaccine mandate for all PRIVATE sector workers in NYC," Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs tweeted on Monday. "Bill de Blasio isn't a mayor, he is a tyrant."

Michigan Rep. Lisa McClain wrote, "Mayor de Blasio is placing vaccine mandates on the NYC private sector. Maybe he doesn't understand what the word private means."

2. These people are nuts. They already hate NYC so what else is new and interesting withthem?

Why are they wasting their time and energy on hating NYC and you know what New Yorkers do? They laugh their butts off at these fools. Sad thing is, those anti-vaxxers will be SOL if they get the virus.

3. Unless people wear scuba/hazmat breathing gear, airborne germs aren't private

If the people who are so eager to turn their lungs into Petri dishes would self-isolate like responsible people, then I might buy the freedom argument.

But once these people insist on also mingling with the public, they're subjecting others to harmful disease. Nothing "private" about walking around in public while potentially spreading a harmful disease.

4. These were the same people having good jollies because NY lead covid cases and deaths early on

Now NYC has got it under control while their districts keep leading death rate and they got nothing but scorn.
