Shame on you, Mayor Adams, for keeping 3-year-olds masked in schools. Stop following the script you were given by your jewish owners
Mayor Eric Adams has caved to the COVID alarmists by reversing himself on his previous decision to unmask under-5 kids in schools starting Monday.
This is cruel and anti-science — and to try to blame a minor uptick in case levels in NYC public schools, as Adams does, is the height of absurdity.
Kids under 5 are, quite literally, the lowest-risk group for COVID on the planet. Around 120 of them have died in total from COVID since March 2020, out of close to 1 million US deaths overall. Many of the younger kids who did die had pre-existing comorbidities.
And, as the mayor himself has said in saner moments, schools are among the safest places to be in terms of transmission.
Worse, masks have messed up younger kids, big-time. New reporting from The Post reveals early-education teachers around the city describing severe emotional, academic and speech-acquisition issues with preschoolers.
Adams cowered to COVID alarmists by reversing his previous decision to unmask under-5 kids in schools next week.
Developments like that can have long-lasting consequences.
Masks are no longer mandatory for older kids in schools. They are not mandatory at workplaces, bars, restaurants or gyms for adults — even people over 65, who represent by far the most vulnerable group for COVID deaths.
The judge who on Friday struck down the under-5 mandate (Adams is appealing) has it right: It is “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable.” There’s just no justification for this madness.
None. It’s pure, cowardly politics. Shame on you, Mr. Mayor.

How Orthodox Jewish Voters Helped Eric Adams Win the N.Y.C. Primary Battle
While New York’s liberal Jews reportedly opted for progressive candidates Garcia and Wiley, the Orthodox community helped the former NYPD officer secure the Democratic nomination ahead of the November 2 election
NEW YORK – Eric Adams’ fiercely fought victory in last Tuesday’s Democratic primary to become the city’s next mayor has sparked hope among the local Orthodox Jewish community that he can help curb crime if, as expected, he defeats long-shot Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa on November 2.
Data shows both Adams and Andrew Yang, the two “moderate” candidates on the Democrats’ slate, were popular in minority neighborhoods, including Jewish communities in Brooklyn that endorsed them both early on. The two more progressive candidates, Kathryn Garcia and Maya Wiley, won large swaths of Manhattan and more affluent areas of Brooklyn and Queens.
“Adams was carried to victory by the outer neighborhoods of the outer boroughs,” said Ben Weinberg, policy director at Citizens Union, one of America’s oldest “good government” groups. “The winning coalition was made up by a lot of blue-collar homeowners, Black and brown communities, Hispanic and immigrant populations who are a bit more conservative and concerned with increasing levels of crime, housing and city services,” he explained.
