“We’re Going to Have to Do Mandates Again”: Top Democrat Calls for Bringing Back Jab Mandates

New York Mayor Eric Adams appeared on the Friday broadcast of Caribbean Power Jam Radio’s “The Reset Show.” During that show appearance, Mayor Adams not only defended the city’s Covid jab mandate, but then went on to declare that it “just wasn’t right” for people to “do whatever [they] want.” He then went on to hint that, in the future, such mandates could return.

Speaking on that, Mayor Adams began by congratulating Mayor Bill DeBlasio for his work in pushing the jab mandates, saying “I know what COVID looked like, and I know that if we didn’t have those mandates — I take my hat off to Bill de Blasio.”

Continuing, Mayor Adams then went on to cheer the anti-freedom “cultural shift” that occurred during the pandemic. Specifically, he said it was a good thing that people weren’t able to stop the government from mandating them to wear a mask, saying:

“That was a tough call, because you know New Yorkers…no New Yorker wants anyone telling them anything. … That’s just who we are. We don’t want to be mandated. We don’t want anyone to tell us to put on a mask. That’s just who we are. So, that was a cultural shift in our mindset to say, we’re fighting this dangerous virus.”

He then did a bit of after the event fearmongering to excuse the attack on freedom, saying “I was at the hospitals, seeing trailers of bodies. I saw the nurses and doctors and hospital employees wearing plastic bags and makeshift face masks, putting themselves in harm’s way. I saw the first responders. I was on the ground. Remember, I moved into Borough Hall and dealt with that virus, responding every day on the ground. This was real. If we didn’t have that va**ine and we didn’t have those mandates, we would have lost so many more lives.”

Mayor Adams then went on to attack those who tried to defend their personal freedoms from the power-mad state, saying it “just wasn’t right” that people did what they wanted instead of what the government told them to do. In his words:

“And so, those who made the determination that, ‘no, I still want to come into a work environment and I’m not going to be va**inated, no, I want to still ride the trains. I want to do whatever I want.’ That just wasn’t right. That wasn’t right. And they made a decision and the law was on our side that said we could mandate.”

Ending the Covid diatribe, he then lamented the removal of the mandates and hinted that they could return, saying “And so they were removed. Now that we’re seeing a normalization of COVID, there may be another time that we’re going to have to do mandates again because these viruses are not going away. We’re dealing with a whole new environment of what we are fighting against, some of these viruses. They made the decision not to be va**inated. They lost their jobs. We see the need now to lift the mandate, but those who lost their jobs could re-apply for their jobs, but they’ve got to re-apply just like everyone else.”
