In a similar fashion to New York City, Los Angeles will consider a proposal to require proof of COVID-19 inoculation as a condition of entry at a host of indoor public spaces.
The Los Angeles Times reports that if passed, it would be the widest-ranging vaccination-verification effort in the city yet.
Council President Nury Martinez and Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell introduced the motion Wednesday which would require eligible individuals to demonstrate that they’ve received at least one vaccination dose to visit indoor places such as restaurants, bars, retail stores, gyms, spas, movie theaters, stadiums and concert venues, the newspaper reports.
“Enough is enough already,” Martinez said in a statement. “Hospital workers are exhausted, moms who have put aside their careers are tired, and our kids cannot afford the loss of another school year. We have three vaccines that work and are readily available, so what’s it going to take? Our kids are about to return to school, and the unvaccinated are putting their lives at risk every day. Ask your questions, talk to your doctor and get the vaccine. Let’s put this behind us.”
De Blasio mentioned that cities in California and the federal government were following New York City’s lead, and that the mandate encourages increased immunizations to combat the spread of the delta coronavirus variant.
“It’s time for people to see vaccines as literally necessary to living a good and full and healthy life,” de Blasio said.
As of now, The LA Times reports that California has not implemented the sort of widespread vaccination-verification now planned in New York City.
When asked about New York’s decision, the California Department of Public Health responded: “California led the way by requiring vaccine verification of state and health care employees and continues to encourage local governments and business to follow suit. State guidelines allow community leaders to establish rules based on local conditions.”
L.A. County is also “not requiring proof of vaccination for customers to enter specific businesses at this point in time,” though public health officials added in a statement Tuesday that they “applaud those businesses that are assessing risks to their employees and customers and adding additional layers of protection, including requiring proof of vaccination,” the newspaper reports.

Who are they to dictate to a business owner who they should and should not allow in their business? LA will never combat their virus because that city filled with homeless individuals and illegals aliens.
What’s amazing is, everybody saw what was coming, and they’re getting away with it anyhow.
You can see that the transition from carrot to stick—please get the vax, to you WILL get the
vax— is taking place out in the open.
Wild how people of all ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and political leanings can get one of these with ease. Maybe they should hand out a voter ID with them…
Literally couldn’t pay me to visit LA
Let the sheeple, the cowards, the lemmings and the Marxist bullies live in dystopian blue states and cities. Normal freedom loving people will move away.
You need a covid shot to “live life” in LA, and then you’ll need a penicillin shot after you do. No thanks.
They cant get Larry Elder in there soon enough to run the place. Oh, and maybe the sheep can lift their heads and start finding their balls.

Los Angeles is moving towards relying upon 15 dollar an hour retail employees to also play the part of public health inspectors. Brilliant.
This is what you end up with when people reflexively vote one way.
