Restaurants, Gyms Sue New York City, Mayor De Blasio For Vaccine Mandate
The Independent Restaurant Association along with several restaurants and gyms are suing New York City and Mayor Bill de Blasio for the executive order mandating vaccines for indoor activities.
Earlier this month Bill de Blasio announced what is essentially a city-wide vaccine passport.
New York City is mandating proof of vaccination for people to enter certain indoor businesses.
Bill de Blasio targeted restaurants, entertainment venues and gyms.
Only 28% of black New Yorkers are fully vaccinated so this was Bill de Blasio’s way of denying service to blacks.
A coalition of restaurants and gyms filed a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court on Wednesday.
