The Hypocrisy of Honoring Freedom Day in the Same Session as Approving Vaccine Mandates

The absolute hypocrisy of Mayor Sam Liccardo and the San Jose City Council was on full display on Tuesday as they held a sham public hearing on the “possibility” of imposing a mandate requiring proof of vaccine (ie. passports) for all citizens to attend public events in city-owned facilities of over 50 people. Speaker after speaker, not only in person, but also via Zoom, condemned and spoke out against the citywide ordinance. What was surprising is that the city “leaders” had the patience to sit through nearly three hours of negative comments against the vaccine passports. Nevertheless, it appeared that they could not wait to dismiss the comments as irrelevant, as they gave their reasons to vote in support of the mandate.
