BREAKING: @GavinNewsom is set to announce that state employees and all health care workers (public + private employees) must be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing and wear masks.
"We are exhausted, respectfully, exhausted by the ideological prism too many Americans are living under" regarding "politicization of the vaccine and mask wearing," @GavinNewsom says.
"You don't have the choice to go out and drink and drive and put everyone else at risk," @GavinNewsom says. "That's the equivalent, at this moment, with the deadliness of this Delta variant."
"Your choice to not get vaccinated and listen to these pundits who are profiterring off misinformation ... comes at a real societal cost. We need to be more clear about that, and we need to call that out," @GavinNewsom says.
.@GavinNewsom adds that the state must respect that people may not get to the vaccine due to "religious liberty" and "autoimmune concerns."
"This is not your grandmother's COVID anymore," Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly says. "This is a totally different beast." That's why it's important to get vaccinated, he adds.
