You are still free to worry about and study the possibility of Tuskegee happening again or do libertarian protesting against public health mandates in the privacy of your own residence and on the internet.

Now throw in ALL HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN THE STATE required to get vaccinated by Sept. 27:

All health care workers in New York must get vaccinated, the governor says.@ NYTimes Coronavirus live updates, 11 minutes ago

Issuing a major directive in his last weeks in office, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York said Monday that all health care workers in the state, including staff at all hospitals, nursing homes, adult care, and other congregate care settings, must have gotten at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine by Sept. 27.

The state health department, Mr. Cuomo said in a news release, will issue special orders intended to prevent a “danger to the health of the people” in order to compel all hospital and nursing home employees to get vaccinated, with limited exceptions for those with religious or medical reasons. He cited the trajectory of the Delta variant across the state and said “we must now act again to stop the spread.”

To date, 75 percent of the state’s roughly 450,000 hospital workers, 74 percent of the state’s 30,000 adult care facility workers and 68 percent of the state’s 145,500 nursing home workers have been fully vaccinated, the state said.

The mandate will apply to all hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities, public and private. Unlike state workers, who have the option of being tested weekly instead of getting vaccinated, private hospital and nursing home workers will no longer have the testing option, said Rich Azzopardi, senior adviser to the governor.

“We are interested in stopping Delta in its tracks, especially in the places where the most vulnerable are at risk,” Mr. Azzopardi said.

Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration, the release said, was briefed before the announcement [....]

Don't plan on being able to go to college unvaccinated either:

a reminder:

too bad Cardinal Burke isn't with most of the Catholic theologians who've been on the side of god-given human knowledge of science saving lives since that big Galileo mistake in the 17th c.:

No excuses except stupidity:

Anybody in Alabama who has a serious life-challenging condition from something else may die and won't be listed as a death from Covid, of course.

(But heck that's probably happening already allover the place, as noted by Peracles upthread, lots of specialists are giving 5 minutes to patients now and will thereby screw up and misdiagnose more often.)

not a surprise; still worth noting:

and when apparently whe they say "order in the court" there, they really mean it:

unvaccinated kids can end up dying quick from this political kabuki bullshit

Texas Won’t Enforce Mask Mandate Ban, for Now

The state education agency said it would stop enforcing an order from Gov. Greg Abbott until lawsuits were resolved

Second part of the current headline from NYTimes live Coronvirus coverage is scary Three vaccinated senators have tested positive for the virus.

Senators Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, Angus King, independent of Maine, and John Hickenlooper, Democrat of Colorado, said on Thursday that they had tested positive for the coronavirus, adding to the number of breakthrough cases among lawmakers.

for those who prefer emotional "where's the outrage?" stories about being forced to leave one's world behind,how about this one?

[....] OZARK, Mo. — Lisa Grim braced herself as she turned the key to her family’s new apartment.

It had taken more than a month to find a landlord willing to accept her — a newly widowed 33-year-old raising two kids, barely making $20,000 a year. None of the other 20 apartments had returned her calls and emails. This unit, which she had rented sight unseen, was the only one that approved her application.

“I’m not expecting anything fancy. As long as it’s clean and doesn’t smell,” she said as she opened the door on the first day of July, trailed by her 10-year-old son, Ralphie. She’d left her 4-year-old, Walker, crying that morning at the new day care he hated.

Nine months had passed since her husband Alan, 37, died of covid-19 in a rural Missouri ICU once again filling with coronavirus patients. Nine months since Lisa realized that without Alan’s salary, they could no longer afford their mortgage, forcing her to put the family’s house on the market and move to this apartment an hour away from everything her boys had known.

“Oh yay, it doesn’t stink,” Lisa declared as she walked into the living room. “It’s not bad, not horrible at all.”

Ralphie trudged in behind her and frowned. “It’s smaller than our old house,” he said.

He’d cried and yelled at her when she told him that they had to sell their modest, three-bedroom ranch home.

“It’s the only house I’ve ever lived in,” Ralphie argued. “It’s the house Daddy lived in.” 

Alan’s death had not only devastated their family emotionally, it had broken them financially. Even as they grieved, the Grims — like tens of thousands of other families shattered by the pandemic — were now facing a cascade of secondary losses: income, home, school friends, long-held plans for the future.[....]

The aging unit was on the second floor in a neighborhood of strip malls and cracked asphalt parking lots. When Lisa spotted the listing in June, the property managers told her she couldn’t see the place because tenants were still living there. A few weeks later they told her she couldn’t move in yet because mold had been found in one of the rooms and needed to be removed [....]

Later that afternoon, with Ralphie at a friend’s house, Lisa sat alone on the floor of the empty apartment, opened a bulging green folder and spread their bills from the past year onto the carpet. There were car payments, cremation fees, credit card balances. There was the $1,000 in legal fees she paid when the mortgage company refused to give her the deed because Alan died on Oct. 1, 2020, without a will.

There were dozens of notices from the hospitals that treated Alan: $2,749.26 for the ER doctor that admitted him, $2,425.75 for the cardiologist, $7,747.07 for his stay at Cox Medical Center in Branson before being transferred to a larger facility, $228.09 for the final X-ray on his chest.

Words were highlighted in red: “Past due.” “Final notice.”

Lisa had increased her hours at the spa in Branson where she massaged elderly tourists. But just a few months earlier, the pressure she was under had sent her rushing back to Cox with acute gastroenteritis and a full-on panic attack.

Now, the bill from her visit — $910.08 — sat on top of the others for her husband.

As she knelt on the floor and flipped through the papers, Lisa began quietly sobbing.

This apartment, she knew, had to work.

‘Where my train set was’ [....]

I am not going to look for it but I bet that there are competing arguments out there about this:

• one that it is the new Tuskegee somehow, white privilege refusing to treat minority patients in a equitable manner
• the other is that the white librul docs have filled the beds with poor minority patients with diabetes and such because they are lazy about their health so there is no room for the covid patients

In actuality, all either had to do was go get vaccinated for free at the local CVS

So has Trump become part of The Deep State now? Enquiring minds want to know...sort of...maybe...

As the one tweet above says "no this doesn't mean vaccines don't work". They are just a basic START of the war! And we have not even gotten there.

Me, I'm wondering something the story didn't cover: whether anyone has taught Carvase to worry about Tuskagee yet., they could be trying to kill him at the hospital...

so there!

At the start of the pandemic I naively thought there'd a least be none of the same kind of stories as in the newspapers from 1918. But they're becoming more common all the time:

not everyone in NYC onboard with the plan, especially in less-than-hoity-toity locales:

Death panels in Idaho, I have only a quibble here in that it's Libertarians who should be congratulated, they populate IIdaho in mass quantities and often believed in no insurance at all and certainly do not agree with the whole idea of "Public Health", especially the Federal kind:
