| The city's new smug asshole doctor |
Mayor Adams’ newly minted health commissioner recommended Friday that the city should indefinitely maintain its mask mandate for kids younger than 5, striking a more cautious tone than his boss, who would prefer to scrap the restriction sooner rather than later.
Dr. Ashwin Vasan laid out the case for continued pandemic caution during a COVID-19 briefing in Queens, his first since taking over as the city’s health commissioner earlier this week.
The two primary coronavirus restrictions that remain in effect are the school mask mandate for kids younger than 5 and the vaccine mandate for the city’s private workforce — and Vasan said he believes neither of those requirements should be lifted anytime soon.
“I think it’s indefinite at this point,” Vasan said of the workforce mandate, which requires all private employees in the Big Apple to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. “People who have tried to predict what’s going to happen in the future in this pandemic have repeatedly found egg on their face, as they say, and I’m not going to do that here today.”
In terms of the mask mandate for kids younger than 5, Vasan offered a personal plea for why it shouldn’t be rescinded for the time being.
“I would love nothing more than to send my son to daycare without a mask,” said Vasan, whose kid is 4. “But as a scientist ... I want to keep him safe because he’s not eligible for a vaccine.”

And I thought Dr. NPC_doofus was getting the job. Shucks!
As long as he has a six figure job he could care less about the peasants. He is the product of a country with a strict caste system. All of the working class are untouchables to him. We didn’t elect him but we can help show him the door for his crass, insensitivity and extreme misogyny. He’s forcing a lot of people out of work and off the tax payer rolls. Casablanca is not qualified for the job if he advocates to muzzle young children
Is he planning on doing anything about the
Homeless encampments? They’re a public health hazard. Or is he here to establish third world bribery practices and sharia law? Smug Asshole doesn’t begin to describe him. So far he doesn’t bother himself about the working class. The filthy peasants whose labor pays his inflated salary & perks.
Come to Queens- do a walking tour. He doesn’t have the balls to walk in the street, he wants to be driven in a car with tinted windows
Does this douchebag with questionable credentials know who Jacob Riis was?
Either we wipe out the slum or it wipes us out
Is he also spreading the inconvenient truth the vaccines stop transmission of the virus ?
DemoRats call themselves progressive but practice regressive policies !
Prove Me Wrong...
