All right, news rounds up information overload hour eight hundred nine four one Sean, you want to be a part of the program will get to your calls coming up straight ahead.

In New York today, the draconian measures are back.

It is mandated. You must wear a mask full time indoors.

Even if you have the your vaccination passport, even if you have the booster doesn't matter. Nothing matters.

Even if you just got a test, even if you just got over COVID, of course, one size fits all rules for everybody.

The city of New York, I believe it's this week will now institute a mandate for children five to eleven that either they are vaccinated or they can go anywhere.

They can go to a restaurant, they can go to a store, they can go inside any place anywhere in New York City.

It's insanity. Just the opposite. Now, think about this too. Schools in Florida opened in August of 2020.

They've not had problems with kids down in Florida for the entire time. Now, if we follow the science in Florida, they can learn a thing or two in New York.

But of course, that would be way too much for them to ask. Remember Democrats have promised that there won't be any mandates.

We can't mandate Biden said it, Saki said it, Pelosi said it, CDC had, well, Lensky said it, the flip-flopping Fouchy said they all said it.

No, I don't think it should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand to be mandatory. Perhaps the federal government should step in and issue mandates. And if not, are you putting the needs of unvaccinated people ahead of the needs of vaccinated people?

I think the question here, one that's not the role of the federal government. That is the role that institutions, private sector entities and others may take.

We cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That's just not what we can do. I am all for more vaccination. But I have nothing further to say on that except that we're looking into those policies. And quite honestly, as people are doing that locally, those are individual local decisions as well.

I don't think you'll ever see a mandating of vaccine, particularly for the general public.

I don't think you'll ever see a mandate for a vaccine, flip-flop-pouchy. Well, we have it all. Then of course, now Fauci wants Americans to check your own family's vaccination status before you allow them in your home over the holidays.

Listen, when you get vaccinated and you have a vaccinated group and you are in an indoor setting, you can enjoy as we have traditionally over the years dinners and gatherings within the home with people who have vaccinated. And that's the reason why people should, if they invite people over their home, essentially ask and maybe require that people show evidence that they are vaccinated or give their honest and good faith word.

That they've been vaccinated. Oh, okay. So we'll do that. I guess that's the next the family argument. Turkey legs will be flying across the Christmas table. Fauci, not a matter of if, but when the definition of fully vaccinated will change. In other words, if you've been vaccinated and you don't get the booster and then the booster after the booster, then the next booster, I guess you're not vaccinated. Listen.

But certainly if you want to talk about what optimal protection is, I don't think anybody would argue that optimal protection is going to be with a third shot, whether or not it officially gets changed in the definition, I think that's going to be considered literally on a daily basis. That's always on the table.

Always on the table, because this in this discussion has been going on for a bit. And I was just kind of with this data coming in this morning, I'm kind of stuck with, is it a matter now of when, not if the definition of fully vaccinated changes?

You know, my own personal opinion, Kate, is what you said is correct. It's going to be a matter of when, not if.

When not if in New York, just the mention there wasn't even a single case of Omicron, the Omicron variant in New York at all. And the new governor, Hocault comes out with an executive order directing all these hospitals in New York to cease all elective procedures beginning today.
