New York City Mandates Covid-19 Vaccine For All City Workers, Removing Testing OptionI am a London-based reporter for Forbes covering breaking news. Previously, I have worked as a reporter for a specialist legal publication covering big data and as a freelance journalist and policy analyst covering science, tech and health. I have a master’s degree in Biological Natural Sciences and a master’s degree in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge. Follow me on Twitter theroberthart or email me at rhartforbes.com Notice how first, to ease us in, there were two options. Vaccine or an inconvenient Test. Later, the testing option is gone - an option I would argue is more effective at stopping spread. Do not report your status. Mandates only work if we comply and don't stand up. See Chicago This should be the standard with all occupations who deal with the public.
