26 Firehouses in NYC Close as Staff Refuse COVID-19 Vaccines – Garbage Piles up in NYC as People Quit Rather than Get the Shot

New York City had to close 26 firehouses this weekend due to lack of staff, as apparently many of the 10,951 firefighters who are refusing to be vaccinated over the Mayor's COVID-19 vaccine mandate called in sick this weekend. The Daily Mail is reporting that a 7-year-old child died in a fire that broke out at 1:30 a.m. early Saturday morning. According to the New York Post, firefighters are not the only ones refusing the vaccine mandates, but other city workers are as well, and now garbage is starting to pile up around the city.
