“There has been resistance from some city employees, especially firefighters and police officers, to vaccine mandates. New York City’s mandate, for example, includes over 160,000 workers without an option for frequent testing. But two weeks out from the November 1st deadline, the vaccination rate for the NYPD is 71%, and roughly 60% for the fire department. Maybe they just don’t know how to get vaccinated – I mean, I know it seems easy, but some cops don’t even know how to turn on a body camera.” —Trevor Noah
“But this is still a little concerning. Because any police who don’t get vaccinated can’t go to work, and if there’s a shortage of police, well that could cause some big problems. I mean, protesters can’t kick the shit out of themselves. Plus, who are the Karens going to call when they feel scared?” —Trevor Noah
“I’ve gotta say, out of all the occupations who resist getting vaccinated, cops and firefighters are the last people who I’d expect to see this from. These are the same people who sign up to swarm hostage situations or run into burning buildings. But when it comes to the vaccine, suddenly they’re like, ‘I don’t know, seems like a health risk.’ But there is literally nothing more dangerous to police officers right now than Covid-19. The virus is the current leading cause of death for law enforcement, having killed five times more police than guns since the start of the pandemic. So it turns out that if you do believe that blue lives matter, one of the best ways to show your support is by getting the vaccine.” —Trevor Noah
