Foo Fighters show protested by anti-vaxers

If you want to see "Springsteen On Broadway" this summer you're going to have to have to be fully vaccinated for COVID 19. This cuts out many of his fans like Judi Franco. Dennis Malloy wonders if the unvaccinated will be second-class citizens in New Jersey?

The Foo Fighters played a sold-out Madison Square Garden Sunday night, which also requires full COVID-19nvaccination for entry, and drew protesters outside the Garden.

In California, several dozen of those "second class citizens" picketed outside the Canyon Club in San Fernando Valley where the Foo Fighters were about to perform to a sold-out audience of 600. In order to see them, just like "Springsteen on Broadway" fans were required to show proof of vaccination

Several dozen anti-vaxers including former child star Ricky Schroder protested outside the club carrying signs saying "Foo Fighters to bring segregation back" and COVID 19 vaccine makers are exempt from liability"

How do you feel about having to be vaccinated for COVID-19 to see "Springsteen on Broadway" as well as other shows? I asked my Facebook audience of 5000 followers, here are some of the responses.

I don't mind being vaccinated, since I already am. I am a bit offended by $500 tickets, though.

Dictatorship. If we dont stop it now, this is just the beginning of govt. strongholds. Remember- not all vax/medicines fix all. Everyone reacts different to medications and some cannot take the vax- it could be deadly for them. just like any other medication made by these same drug companies.Personal choice is key! If the vax is so wonderful then not everyone would need to take it anyway.

It's their prerogative, they can also make you wear a clown suit if they want. And I'd do that too!

It's great. Just like at Stephen Colbert's Late Show last week. We all had to show proof of vaccination before entering.

That is the rule. If the individual doesn’t want to follow it, then don’t. It really depends on how important it is to see the show.

Anyone selfish enough to not get the vaccine should suffer any and all consequences.

There are ppl in the world that had reactions to other flu shots and were told not to get them again . So they will be punish or banished later ?

If I get the vaccine and go see his show, does that also give me a free pass on a DUI?

The $300 ticket price is a bigger stumbling block for me.

Its a private establishment...no different than dress codes for restaurants. It doesn't fall under a civil rights violation etc. I think "we" are going to see this time and time again.

Time to retire and let someone else be the Boss.

NJ's most and least COVID vaccinated towns, by county

New Jersey reported just short of 4 million people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 statewide, heading into the last week of May. So how does that break down across all 21 counties?

And, how can some communities show a vaccination rate of more than 100%, according to state data? Reasons include people who have moved, those who are traveling and not residing at home where the census counted them, students who may select their school residence for vaccination data and people in long-term care (or other facility-based housing) among other reasons, as explained in a footnote on the state COVID dashboard.

While much is still unknown about the coronavirus and the future, what is known is that the currently available vaccines have gone through all three trial phases and are safe and effective. It will be necessary for as many Americans as possible to be vaccinated in order to finally return to some level of pre-pandemic normalcy, and hopefully these 30 answers provided here will help readers get vaccinated as soon they are able.
