WATCH: Thousands of FDNY protesters chant “Let’s Go Brandon!” outside Bill de Blasio’s home over vaccine mandate

by The Right Scoop

With news that the FDNY might have to shut down 20% of its fire companies in New York City because of the unconscionable vaccine mandate, thousands of firefighters have gathered outside Bill de Blasio’s home to protest the vaccine mandate.

And they are chanting “Let’s Go Brandon”:

 
Here’s more on the FDNY and the vaccine mandate from the NY Post:

The FDNY is preparing to shutter as many as 20 percent of all Big Apple fire companies — and take an equal portion of its ambulances off the streets — ahead of the impending deadline for all city workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

On Wednesday, the FDNY said just 65 percent of its firefighters, fire officers and EMS workers had been vaccinated despite Mayor Bill de Blasio’s order that all city workers receive at least one dose or face suspension without pay on Monday.

“The Department must manage the unfortunate fact that a portion of our workforce has refused to comply with a vaccine mandate for all city employees,” Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in a statement later Wednesday.

“We will use all means at our disposal, including mandatory overtime, mutual aid from other EMS providers and significant changes to the schedules of our members,” Nigro continued. “We will ensure the continuity of operations and safety of all those we have sworn oaths to serve.”

The commissioner didn’t assess the likely result of the potential moves, but one FDNY firefighter offered a grim prediction: “People will die in this city.”

Last week, de Blasio announced a 5 p.m. Friday deadline, but that’s only to receive $500 in incentive pay for getting a shot — which gives hesitant workers one last weekend of wiggle room to reconsider before being taken off the payroll.

The widespread resistance by firefighters “is going to take about 40 percent of us out” and could lead to response times of “seven minutes or more,” an FDNY member suggested.

The irresponsible vaccine mandate is also going to affect the NYPD in a big way:

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea tweeted Wednesday evening that 75 percent of the NYPD had been vaccinated.

But that includes just 63 percent of street cops, with 37 percent — around 6,000 officers — still unvaccinated, sources said.

One Manhattan cop said the expected results of benching patrol officers for ignoring the vaccine mandate were predictable.

“It’s an easy formula: Less cops equal more crime,” the source said.

As if crime isn’t bad enough in NYC, now this vaccine mandate is going to make it all the worse.

People will unfortunately die because of crime and fires in NYC, and it will be the fault of the worst mayor NYC has seen: Bill de Blasio.

Here’s another great chant from these firefighters outside de Blasio’s home:
