New York City Mayor Eric Adams has fired a city lawyer who disguised herself as a reporter, to question him on why he hasn’t lifted the mask mandate for children.
Adams was hosting a press conference on LGBT rights, when Daniela Jampel confronted him and demanded to know why he hadn’t honoured a promise to remove the requirement for under-5’s to wear masks.
According to The Mail Online:
‘Three weeks ago, you told parents to trust you that you would unmask our toddlers,’ she said.
‘You stood right here, and you said that the masks would come off April 4. That has not happened.
‘Not only did you renege on your promise, you had your lawyers race to court on Friday night arguing that there would be irreparable harm if children under 5 are allowed to take off their masks today along with their older siblings in school.
‘So my questions are, what is the irreparable harm to children aged 2 to 4 take off their masks, just as they do in Long Island, just as they do in Westchester? When will you and will you unmask our toddlers?’
Adams answered by saying that the mask mandate had been maintained over an uptick in cases, because under 5’s aren’t eligible to receive the shot. Just hours later, it was revealed Jampel had been fired from her role as an attorney, with a city official condemning her behavior at the press conference.
After her firing Jampel tweeted unrepentantly, saying: ‘Je ne regrette rien’ (I regret nothing), before adding: ‘The fight continues.’
Jampel told DailyMail.com: ‘I can’t really talk about it, until I have a lawyer.’
Mayor Adams said that although he had planned to remove the mandate for children aged between two and 4 years-old to wear masks on April 4th (yesterday), he also said it would depend on the case numbers.
You know, we’re over two years into this tyranny, yet I haven’t been desensitised to the horror of forcing masks on two year-olds.
It’s barbaric.
