De Blasio Pushes For No Jab, No Subway Travel in NYC: “We Know Vaccine Mandates Work”
We know vaccine mandates work — New York City is proof of that. Now let's go even further.
I'm urging @GovKathyHochul to institute an MTA vaccine mandate. Let's do what we can to keep our city, our residents, and our workforce safe.

Nope. This is insane. You are not instituting an internal passport with conditions for free movement around the city that disproportionately impacts the homeless, brings everyone into greater contact with the NYPD, and is logistically impossible anyway. Are you high?
