I\u00a0suspect most \u201couter borough\u201d restaurants are not going to enforce Mayor de Blasio\u2019s latest decree, outside of gentrified neighborhoods like Park Slope (\u201cVax card\u2019s a must in Gotham,\u201d Aug. 4).<\/p>\n

It should be noted that this mandate will have a negative impact on any restaurant or pub in Manhattan that enforces it, since so many are heavily dependent on tourists.<\/p>\n

Aside from the fact that tourism is down dramatically from pre-pandemic levels, many tourists, even if vaccinated, will probably not carry proof of vaccination due to ignorance of the mandate, and many, of course, will not have been vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Many potential tourists will no doubt stay away from the Big App<\/a>le, whether vaccinated or not, out of pique over this probably unconstitutional mandate that creates desirable and undesirable classes of people.<\/p>\n

Denied access into various establishments unless you show proof of vaccination is a form of discrimination and an invasion of privacy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next, proof of political affiliation, religion or citizenship?<\/p>\n

How about wanting to see your medical history when applying for a job to determine if you\u2019re a health risk?<\/p>\n

When does it stop, when all your rights and freedoms are gone?<\/p>\n

I fully support New York City\u2019s new vaccine rules. Those who stubbornly refuse to get vaccinated should bear the brunt of the pandemic. Those who choose vaccination should not be constrained or endangered by those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

While government cannot compel vaccines, it is certainly not a trampling of freedoms to limit public spaces to those who have the good sense to get vaccinated. After all, there is no constitutional right to enjoy a night on the town \u2014 and no freedom is totally unlimited.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, freedom is curtailed where it poses a harm to public safety. People have choices: If you wish to dine indoors, you should get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

So the social<\/a>ist running New York City wants us to have proof of vaccination before we can go to a movie or dine out? Will we be required to have proof of vaccination in order to get into the polling places?<\/p>\n

Socialists, by their very nature, think nothing through. Orders come first, and planning a distant second. No amount of threats will change human behavior.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it funny how liberals expect everyone to be vaccinated, masked and carrying documentation on their person just to go to school, work or be in any kind of public space, yet find it onerous and \u201cracist\u201d to require legal citizens to get a government-issued photo ID to vote and to prevent fraud? 2022 and 2024 can not come soon enough.<\/p>\n

I always enjoyed going to New York City to take in shows and\u00a0movies<\/a> and eat in\u00a0 restaurants.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been waiting for COVID to run its course\u00a0 so I could restart these good times, but I think I\u2019ll have to wait a little longer. Now de Blasio wants to require vaccination cards.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll wait for the next mayor. Matters can\u2019t get worse, can they?<\/p>\n

This is all crazy. Mandating that you will need a vaccination card in New York City to enter indoor facilities is against civil liberties.<\/p>\n

I am vaccinated, but if people are not vaccinated, that is their choice. The date for this to start is Sept. 13, and it is possible that this Delta variant will be under control by then.<\/p>\n

I cannot believe that this is legal. What happened\u00a0 to our free choice? This is simply total control by the Democratic Party to stay in power and to dictate to us how we live our lives.<\/p>\n

My last point is simply this: How hard would it be to forge the CDC COVID-19 vaccination record card?<\/p>\n
