COVID Authoritarian Fail: Rockettes Cancel Christmas Spectacular Shows

I’m actually surprised that the Wokesters haven’t destroyed the all women Radio City Rockettes by forcing them to have men and the gender confused, but, anyhow, they have been a staple since forever. I remember growing up in NJ and seeing the commercials every year before Christmas about the Christmas shows. It was basically an NYC tradition, going back to the beginning in 1933. Now? Despite all the Democrat voters following all their masking and vaccinations and stuff

COVID Crushes De Blasio’s New York: Rockettes Cancel All 2021 Shows, Broadway Cancels Performances

The Radio City Rockettes have canceled its Christmas Spectacular shows at New York’s Radio City Music Hall due to breakthrough COVID-19 cases among the dance group.

“We apologize for the inconvenience and will make announcements about future shows as soon as possible,” the official Twitter account for the Rockettes said. “Tickets will be refunded at the original point of purchase.”

Radio City Music Hall requires that guests ages 12 and older provide proof that they have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in order to attend events. Children ages 5 to 11 can attend events with a vaccinated adult and are required to provide proof that they have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

So, the performers are vaccinated, all the employees are vaxxed, and the audience must be vaxxed. They must show proof of vaccination, and, unless someone is fully vaccinated (two shots, 14 days), must wear a mask (which, in fairness, is less strict than here in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area). Yet, the Chinese coronavirus is raging through the performers.

Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! also canceled its Friday show due to a positive COVID-19 test from within the show’s company.

On Broadway, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” canceled its Wednesday matinee, “Tina” canceled two shows on Wednesday and “Hamilton” has called off shows through Friday night. “Ain’t Too Proud” scrapped its Tuesday performance and “Freestyle Love Supreme” canceled two performances. “Mrs. Doubtfire,” which just opened and has been dark since Sunday, intends to resume performances Tuesday. ??

So, all the COVID authoritarianism isn’t working, eh?

Meanwhile, Brandon finally won one. For the time being

Federal appeals court reinstates Biden administration’s business vaccine and testing mandate

A federal appeals court has reinstated the Biden administration’s vaccine and testing requirement for private businesses that covers about 80 million American workers.

The ruling by the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati lifted a November injunction that had blocked the rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which applies to businesses with at least 100 workers.

In the decision Friday, the 6th Circuit noted that OSHA has historical precedent for using wide discretion to ensure worker safety and “demonstrated the pervasive danger that COVID-19 poses to workers—unvaccinated workers in particular—in their workplaces.”

The only good part of the rule is that it says that if you’re vaccinated you have zero need to wear a mask indoors. Of course, that would probably require people showing their proof of vaccination. But, you can pet this is heading to the Supreme Court. The question is, how quickly?

    There is zero carona virus in NYC
    That is all fake news promoted only by rabid rightwing Biden haters

      Facts say differently.

      That is all fake news promoted only by rabid rightwing Biden haters

      Who would have ever expected that the City of New York and the Health Department were promoting “fake news” and are “rabid rightwing (sic) Biden haters?”

      Once again, we see either an outright lie or a problem with Hairy’s comprehension level when it comes to data.

      The left hates facts and science even from sources they support.

      Then again, all the left has is hate.

        gc doesn’t recognize when he’s being mocked. Sad.

        Then again, all the right has is hate.

          Hypocrite Elwood: You do not appear to recognize the shame you should have for the number of lies you’ve been caught in just on this site! Typical Leftist repeating his masters lies.
          All the Left has is lies and hate. The Truth all supports the Right.

          Hairy has always misrepresented facts and figures without “mocking.” If one tries satire or “mocking,” one has to have a basis of telling the truth in the past.

          I get it. You can’t stand the idea that someone called out Hairy for lying and being wrong.

          That’s how much the left hates facts.

          Then again, all the left has is hate.

          • Elwood P. Dowd says:

            He was not lying, he was baiting the likes of you.

            You’re not that dumb are you?

            That’s how much the nuRight hates facts.

            Then again, all the right has is hate.

    The NBA, among which 97% of the players are vaccinated, has seen 52 players put out of action due to positive tests. Joel Embiid, who tested positive for the virus in early November, said that he thought he might not survive, he felt so bad. The man is 7’1″ tall, a league all-star, in tremendous physical condition, and yes, he is part of the 97% who have been vaccinated, and was before he contracted the virus.

    The NFL, in which 96% of the players have been vaccinated, has pushed three week 15 games back a few days due to positive tests among players.

    NBA and NFL players are continually checked by medical personnel, because each is a major investment by their teams. They receive the best medical care available, but with all of that, and with team and league restrictions on their behavior, they are still contracting the virus.

    The vaccines may reduce the seriousness of the infection once a person contracts the virus, but the evidence is mounting that they do little or nothing to prevent contracting the virus.

      Which logically means there should be no problem with those who don’t want the shot since the only person it affects is himself. But when has logic ever ruled the leftist mind? All that matters to them is the power to run/ruin your life. Submit or die!
