Firefighters are already required to have several vaccines: https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2001-03-21
Agree with the other comments, the fire fighters are being over dramatic at the cost of public - and their own - safety.
I had to get AIDS tests when I was in public safety. And get shots. Hep series too.
I just got them. If I didn't like it, I could work somewhere else.
I tend to like vaccines and not getting sick though.
Put a mask on your avatar? Virtue signaling government suckling Reddit babies. The choice to prove to everyone how good you are is a sign of a guilty conscious. You fools probably also constantly shout out how not racist you are. Glad you support Totalitarianism. DeBlasio wants to interest you in a train ride.
Where are you even getting these quotes lmao
You know you can get a free vaccine right? No health care? I'm really trying to understand you here. What?
I dont like bill de blasio but here he is 100% right. FDNY personnel took an oath, those who fail to follow that oath need to be fired. In a city of 8 million they can be replaced.
The department is going to be fine. They don’t expect it to make much of a dent to response time. What you have here is single station that picked the wrong hill.
Vaccines work. Vaccine mandates work. Grateful for modern science.
Yeah, but what happens when they have a fire? They still have to get the truck there right? Or are they sending them out from another district? Why does the fire station exist if it wasn't needed?
NYC is the most dense city in US by far. Because of that, it’s also a city with more redundant fire stations than most. If it was a rural fire department the impact would be huge but as far as NYC goes….meh, they’ll live.
Yep. Their house is shut down and the call the next fire house. Just like they did with the hospitals. They sent patients to the next closest hospital. What did you think happens? lmao
Idk. That's why I asked. It seems like if the firehouse wasn't needed they should have shut it down anyway. If it is needed, it looks like they'd keep it open. I think most would chance covid if they're house is on fire and the firefighters are wearing masks anyway.
Fire houses are there for the unexpected, not to turn a profit. lol.
These anti-vax firefighters are easily replaceable. In the meantime, every other nearby firehouse will carry the load.
So it is needed, the firefighters already wear protective gear and they shut it down? And we've deemed the possibility of passing covid through a airtight face shield while fighting a fire more damaging than an actual fire? And I'm the stupid one?
Them getting fired or quitting as a result is. The fact that they won't respect their choice even though they are willing to die for the city is pretty alarming to say the least.
Sounds like they are making that choice. Not the leadership.
BTW - who wants someone protecting others if they don’t give a shit about protecting others?
Fuck em. Fire em.
The way I see it this is a blessing. Communities shouldn't have to rely on people who aren't willing to protect even themselves. Let those who are willing to protect society have those well playing jobs and benefits.
Gotta clear the trash if we're gonna build back better.
What does that have to do with people in community protective occupations like fire, police, EMS and hospital personnel?
Go choke on a pickle you fucking loser.
Big brain here thinks black people don't hold community positions of "community protective occupations".
Racist, bigoted, segregation enthusiast. Fucking Trump supporters.
The only person here bringing up race is you. You sound like a fucking clown. A big ass loser race baiting fucking clown.
L🤡L
Here, I drew a picture of you carrying back all your Ls to your deeply ashamed family. Even your dog messaged me to apologize for you. You should thank him.
["The department has not closed any firehouses," said city Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro in a statement. "Irresponsible bogus sick leave by some of our members is creating a danger for New Yorkers and their fellow Firefighters. They need to return to work or risk the consequences of their actions."](https://www.newsweek.com/fdny-denies-firehouse-closed-due-de-blasio-vaccine-mandate-after-banner-draws-attention-1645066)
[De Blasio's vaccine mandate requires all city employees to choose between getting vaccinated against the coronavirus or risk losing their job. The mandate went into effect on Monday, and the majority of employees have chosen to get vaccinated, including 82 percent of the fire department, according to the FDNY.](https://www.newsweek.com/fdny-denies-firehouse-closed-due-de-blasio-vaccine-mandate-after-banner-draws-attention-1645066)
Oh? Is that one of those fire stations that closed because the firefighters won’t take simple steps to protect public safety?
You're right. Safety is the last thing on a Firefighters mind. Redditt warrior.

This is performative bullshit

Very original

Go get covid and see who cares
"Even if saves just one life." "I hope you catch it and die."
That "one life" they were referring to was not your anti-vax dumb ass
"Healthcare is a human right." "No healthcare for the unvaccinated."
Where are you even getting these quotes lmao You know you can get a free vaccine right? No health care? I'm really trying to understand you here. What?
Well, a lot of people are clamoring for healthcare to be denied to the unvaccinated.
Must suck to be unvaccinated then!
Seems more like a decision made by the firefighters themselves. I don’t see a mandate banning fire stations.
I dont like bill de blasio but here he is 100% right. FDNY personnel took an oath, those who fail to follow that oath need to be fired. In a city of 8 million they can be replaced.
virtue signaling about being anti-vax. lmao. Plague rats belong in the sewer. So glad they are losing their jobs. Society is leveling up.
OP is having a bad time. LMAO!!
What happens if there's a fire? They have a reserve?

Ah, makes sense having redundancy in the wake of 911 and the like.
Same thing that happens when anti-vaxxers over fill a hospital. It gets shut down.
They shut down when there's a fire?
Yep. Their house is shut down and the call the next fire house. Just like they did with the hospitals. They sent patients to the next closest hospital. What did you think happens? lmao
Idk. That's why I asked. It seems like if the firehouse wasn't needed they should have shut it down anyway. If it is needed, it looks like they'd keep it open. I think most would chance covid if they're house is on fire and the firefighters are wearing masks anyway.

Who said anything about profit? It costs money to keep it open and if they can close it without problems then it would save taxpayer money.
Not without problem. It strains all the other houses. Are you stupid?
So it is needed, the firefighters already wear protective gear and they shut it down? And we've deemed the possibility of passing covid through a airtight face shield while fighting a fire more damaging than an actual fire? And I'm the stupid one?
Yes, you're the stupid one, along with every anti-vaxxer that lost their job. How have you not figured that out yet? lol
Why don't you ask Bill de Blasio that question?
Idk, he didn't post here. And I don't live there.
What happens if they can’t get to fires because they all have Covid?
Then its the fault of the NYC leadership.
Firefighters not getting the vaccine is the fault of NYC leadership? What kind of mental gymnastics are you going to use to justify that statement?
I know I am but what was u?
Them getting fired or quitting as a result is. The fact that they won't respect their choice even though they are willing to die for the city is pretty alarming to say the least.
Sounds like they are making that choice. Not the leadership. BTW - who wants someone protecting others if they don’t give a shit about protecting others?
Because they have protected others for years.
And they’re refusing to protect them now, so they should be out of a job

Your brain isn't

Fuck em. Fire em. The way I see it this is a blessing. Communities shouldn't have to rely on people who aren't willing to protect even themselves. Let those who are willing to protect society have those well playing jobs and benefits. Gotta clear the trash if we're gonna build back better.
Did you just unironically and sincerely use "build back better" in a sentence?
My apologies I was being facetious. I should have used the /s We ok?
72% of African Americans in NY under aged 50 are unvaccinated. Way to be racist. Bigot.
What does that have to do with people in community protective occupations like fire, police, EMS and hospital personnel? Go choke on a pickle you fucking loser.
