Adams rolls over

Another win for the pandemic-is-over-if-you-want-it crowd:
Kyrie Irving and other unvaccinated athletes will be allowed to play professional sports in New York City under a major policy change Mayor Eric Adams is poised to announce Thursday, people familiar with the matter confirmed.
Adams has been relaxing Covid-19 policies instituted by former Mayor Bill de Blasio since taking office Jan. 1, as he seeks to resume a sense of normalcy in the pandemic-ravaged city.
On Thursday the mayor is expected to declare his decision to reverse the private-sector vaccine mandate specifically for performers and athletes in local venues, including Barclays Center — home to the Brooklyn Nets — and both Citi Field in Queens and Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
Ending the highest-benefit, lowest-cost intervention isn’t a considered policy decision, but rather represents the triumph of the Back To Normal Ready or Not ethos among American elites. The problem is that the virus doesn’t care whether you’re sick of thinking about it or not.
