Thousands of flag-toting anti-vaxxers — including active-duty members of the Sanitation, NYPD and FDNY — brought morning traffic to a standstill as they marched across the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday to protest Mayor de Blasio’s forthcoming coronavirus vaccine mandate for all city workers. The mandate, which takes effect this Friday at 5 p.m. and covers 160,000 municipal employees, including cops and firefighters, constitutes “medical tyranny,” the protesters claimed as they crammed both Manhattan-bound lanes on the bridge while touting American flags and signs emblazoned with anti-vaccine slogans. “We will fight! We will win!” the maskless marchers chanted. Under the mandate, city workers who do not show proof of at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine by Friday’s deadline will be suspended without pay.
