A walkout ceremony will be held Monday at the Department of Health in
Long Island City for Health Commissioner Dr. David Chokshi.
Monday will be his final day on the job.
Dr. Chokshi has been leading New York City's response to the pandemic since August of 2020.
In an interview with Eyewitness News anchor Bill Ritter, the
outgoing commissioner reflected on the toll the pandemic has taken on
all of us.
"The stress and the grief and the trauma that everyone
has gone through in their own ways so it's hard not to get emotional
when you think about all those effects and the loss that so many people
have experienced," Dr. Chokshi said.
In case anyone who "couldn't fully participate in society in NYC" and lost their job because of this asshole who implemented the vaccine mandate that stole their livelihoods and civil liberties, feel free to protest his "ceremony" at the DOH headquarters located at Queens Plaza. 42-09 28th St Long Island City.
