Current Events > NYC Mayor wants to end school mask mandate, calls himself conservative on crime

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mayor-elect Eric Adams took to the airwaves Sunday and declared he wants to nix mask mandates in the classroom and called himself conservative on public safety. Adams fears masks are stopping students from making friends and said he wants to end the school mask mandate when he takes office come Jan. 1. If we can find a safe way to do it, I look forward to getting rid of the mask, Adams told CNNs State of the Union on Sunday morning. Part of the socialization of a child is that smile. Not being able to see the smiles of our children has a major impact. But it must be done with the science so we dont go back to closing our city down. As recently as Thursday city officials could not say what it would take to lift the mask requirement in public schools, even as kids aged 5 and up can now get the COVID-19 vaccine. At his daily press briefing on Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio conceded there is currently no end in sight for masks in schools.

Adams, a former police captain, also talked tough about cracking down on violence during his press engagements on Sunday morning. Adams believes criminals busted with guns need to be locked up longer to prevent shootings like when a 26-year-old woman was hit in the leg by a stray bullet while pushing her 2-year-old daughter in a stroller in the Bronx on Thursday night. I am conservative on public safety when you see 13-year-old children in our schools stabbed in libraries and a woman was shot while walking down the block with a baby in a carriage, Adams told NPRs Weekend Edition. When I use the term conservative, I have zero tolerance for abusive and criminal and violent behavior. I dont believe people who discharge guns on Monday should be out of jail on Tuesday, the next day thats not acceptable. I know what we need to stop the abusiveness of law enforcement but at the same time get the safety we deserve.

How do masks prevent you from making friends?

Good, fuck masks.

Did NYC Dems just trick themselves into voting in a Machin/Sinema type of Dem because the person had a "D" next to their name lmao.

Yeah, we need to force vaccines on everyone already so we can get over the stupid masks.

Most people expected this to happen when he won the primary earlier this year.

Not really tricked. He appealed to POC more than the other candidates during the primary in a ranked choice primary. Leftist gotta do better for community outreach

Leftist need to realize that just because the was a police shooting somewhere in the country doesn't mean people want less police in their neighborhoods. Especially while violent crime is on the rise.

Literally the only difference between the Democrat and Republican candidates this election was that the Republican really hated vaccine mandates and the Democrat supports them. For now, at least.

(Also the Republican actually lives in New York)

Did you not read the article? He gave a very thorough reasoning. Very, very thorough.

There is definitely a valid argument to make that masks are bad for children's social development. Obviously that has to be weighed against the risk involved by them not being masked.

---

In other words he's explaining how he got elected and no one on the internet will listen.

lol no there's fucking not

But all we have to do is finally force everyone to get vaccinated and we can get rid of masks and be back to normal. It's simple .

You're fine with governments continuing to murder people because you believe "pandemic of the unvaccinated" bullshit.

People are dying because we are failing at our moral imperative. How many people need to die for you to care?

The moment he said his platform was to crack down on crime and fund the police more he won. He didn't need to say or do anything else.

No people are dying because they're choosing not to get a free vaccine. You can cry about it since that's all you're capable of doing.

And they're overloading hospitals and they're dying and hurting others, not to mention allowing the virus to mutate and become more resistant. We don't get to ignore the anti-vaxxers. Their choices don't exist in a bubble. You're being self-centered just like them.

Vaccines don't work at this rate.

First get input from parents and from staff. What kind of mayor are you?

His whole policy was just crack down on crime. When he would come on the local radio stations for interviews before the primary that's the only stance he had. And also that he's a black man that made his life better by pulling up his bootstraps.

My state still has a mask mandate but I was just at the store and around 30% of people weren't wearing masks. Once the new year hits I'm sure that number will get higher.

---

No mandate here and Id say its less than 30% wearing masks. Maybe 10%? And thats a generous guess.

Take a long look at yourself and ask "why?"

lol what? Vaccines literally require a certain threshold to achieve herd immunity. Is it horseshoe theory if I say measles shots are less useful if 30% of the population refused to get them? That's exactly the same as saying the concept of vaccines is useless and that we need to let diseases play out naturally?

god what a shithead appeal to make -- but think of the smiles of the children. obviously my opponent mr. mask hates children and their smiles.

it would be comically slimy if it wasn't actually dangerous.

Why is it only morons who are against masks and how did a moron become a mayor
