Only until they’re less of a danger to those around them, and only out of restaurants (no?). It’s not like the city would be keeping unvaccinated people out of grocery stores or laundromats.

Any word on Cambridge, Brookline, etc. following suit? This policy was in place in NYC when I visited in Oct, and it wasn’t terribly inconvenient.

I think there are plenty of people in Boston and Cambridge who are vaccinated where this won’t be an issue. Is it going to stop covid from spreading ? No.

By this metric, vaccinated people also shouldn't be allowed in because they, too, can spread covid. This is about punishment and coercion.

Yup, and of course virtue signalling.

No. It's about keeping businesses open.

Overreact much?

If we got to an end state where it was only the vaccinated spreading to other vaccinated, the virus would (a) not have the dire health & economic consequences it has now and (b) die off quickly, as it wouldn't fester and mutate in a large population, as it is today. I'm not sure why this is so tough for folks to comprehend. It's exactly how we got rid of numerous infectious diseases that used to kill lots of people. Ask survivors like Mitch McConnell whether they thought mandatory polio vaccinations were "punishment and coercion" for being a bad kid!

Another story about an overwhelmed health care system (Minnesota). Terrifying. A nurse's advice: "Don't do anything risky". This is no longer just about covid. https://news.yahoo.com/er-doctors-co...175213405.html

Surely you're not comparing Nazism, aimed at annihilating a population, to public health measures aimed at saving a population.
