— Gov. Hochul, Jan. 26, when requested by The Put up if New Yorkers are reaching the purpose the place they’re being held hostage to those that refuse to be vaccinated

We are saying: Please. Youngsters have by no means been at nice danger from COVID. Gov. Hochul’s need to have each final particular person within the state vaccinated — and keep mandates till they're, in order to “shield” youngsters — is sheer nonsense.


This tweet:
