Thousands of Hasidim in Brooklyn are gathering in large groups w/o masks, swinging sick chickens, and killing them in the street. COVID super spreader event? Will another zoonotic disease spillover to humans? Allowing #Kaporos = colossal failure of leadership by @NYCHealthCommr
.@DrMaryTBassett & @DrOBarbot this will forever be your NYC legacy. You allowed politics to corrupt your responsibility to the public & here we are. Are there sufficient "health indicators" now? Speak up; you still have a moral responsibility to NYC!
@NYCHealthCommr DO SOMETHING
After promising to enforce COVID guidelines in Brooklyn's Hasidic hotspots, @NYCMayor is pretending to not know that massive groups of Hasidim are congregating w/o masks in about 30 different areas in #Kaporos#wetmarkets (No NYPD presence = plausible deniability) @JoeKGoldstein
Advocates have pled with @NYCHealthCommr @DrDemetre @NYCMayor for months to stop #Kaporos from taking place because the week-long, crowded, unmasked animal #wetmarkets would SPREAD Covid and put the public at risk of another zoonotic disease outbreak. @DrKatzNYCHH@JoeKGoldstein
