Mayor Eric Adams' exemptions for athletes and entertainers in NYC really riled a lot of people up, and rightly so. It will not be forgotten, not for a very long time.

DANIEL CREREND [via Zoom]: Good afternoon. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Daniel Crerend. I'm married and a father of two beautiful children. I was previously employed by the NYPD from January 2013 to July 2022. I was a detective with the Brooklyn North Violent Crime Squad, formerly known as the Brooklyn North Gang Squad.
As a kid, there were two things I wanted to be when I grew up, a New York Yankee and a police officer. Obviously the first option did not pan out, but I was able to fulfill my dream and become a police officer. Ironically, if I had, my testimony would not be necessary today because I would be exempt from the vaccine mandate. Unfortunately I am not a multimillionaire athlete or entertainer, therefore I am not eligible to be part of this protected class of the New York City caste system.*
[*Transcriber's note: Crerend is refering to the Mayor Eric Adams' decision to exempt professional athletes and performers from vaccination requirements in local venues.]
Not only has the city of New York violated the religious liberty of every city employee who has been denied a religious accommodation, but the mandate itself is completely [Zoom transmission interruption] have had covid since we cannot work at home when the city shut down, therefore we acquired natural immunity to the virus.
Ah, excuse me [moves camera]
Going back to May 5th, 2021, during a Governor Cuomo press conference he stated, you cannot mandate vaccines because these vaccines are approved under something called an Emergency Use Authorization and by law, you cannot mandate a vaccine approved under Emergency Use Authorization. I myself went to a vaccine site back in June of this year and requested Comirnaty or Spikevax which are the only two FDA-approved version of the vaccine. They were not available and I was told they've never been available at the NYPD vax site. [Time's up alarm sounds] Also as of last month, the CDC—
MALE VOICE: Your time has expired.
DANIEL CREREND: Has revised their covid 19 guidelines and stated, CDC's covid-19 prevention recommendations no longer differentiate based on a person's vaccination status because breakthrough infections occur. Though they are generally mild, the persons who have had covid-19 but are not vaccinated have some degree of protection against severe illness from their previous infection. Combine all this with the fact that back in August of 2021 the director of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, stated, in reference to the vaccine, what they cannot do anymore is prevent transmission. That was two months before the inception of the vaccine mandate. If anyone could explain a reasonable argument for firing thousands of city workers for not receiving a vaccine that does not stop transmission or infection from covid, I would love to hear it. The simple fact is that there is no logical argument that can be made. You cannot make that make sense.
MALE VOICE: Time's expired.
DANIEL CREREND: Now nearly a year later after losing thousands of city employees to termination, resignation, forced retirement, the mayor's still not budging on the mandate, crime is out of control and reaching epidemic levels while covid— I'm just about done.
GALE A. BRWER: Thank you very much. Thank you.
DANIEL CREREND: Excuse me, I'm just about done.
FGALE A. BREWER: OK.
DANIEL CREREND: While crime is reaching epidemic levels while covid endemic levels, the mandate carries on in the guise of public safety. Unlike covid, there is a very simple cure to the violent crime surge in our city, it's more police, it is experienced police. What the mandate is doing is making our city far less safe.
GALE A. BREWER: OK.
DANIEL CREREND: Ah, losing thousands of experienced police officers, myself being one.
GALE A. BREWER: Sir, you got to, you got to wrap up, please. Thank you. We gotta wrap up.
DANIEL CREREND: I have one last point. Mayor Adams may not remember me, but on the fourth day of his day in office he [?] was press conference on [?] Gang Takedown, I was the lead investigator on it. [Continues speaking, but Zoom has been muted]
GALE A. BREWER: Alright, thank you.Thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you soooo much Transciber! 🥰
I am watching / listening to the entire recording of he proceedings now.
I can see that I will be drastically adjusting my original post based on the information in your comments.
Still listening ... so will get back to this sub-comment as well as the new information you've shared below, and explore unexpected implications. I also wanted to add a relevant tidbit connected with first responders to the Lahaina massacre.
Thanks again for your dedicated and consistent flow of information. You are more than special ... a national treasure and trusted repository.
Hi Steve, For the NYC mandate testimonies, the source video is hours long, and much of it is not about the mandates (lol, many jabbed NYC employees complaining about lack of staff, as if that problem just appeared out of nowhere for no reason). For the time stamps for the mandate testimonies, just go to https://transcriberb.dreamwidth.org/44015.html
then scroll on down to the listings batched at September 15, 2022
Have not hit the link yet because I am frantically. trying to re-correct some of the primary information that prompted my post (thanks to a heads up from Transcriber).
Just wondering if you prefer that I basically copy-paste our YouTube back-and-forth, and carry on the dialogue from there?
While listening to the NYCC-CHAMBERS-OVERSIGHT video, I realized it would be a long listen ... so while they are humming in the background, I clicked down here only to find a labyrinthine mea culpa for my knee-jerk post. Will immediately append my original post with your link, and be prepared to supplement with what I am finding out through the longer New York video.
Just a quick mental shortcut ... the more I see how the Lahaina Massacre is still playing out, I see the disruption as roughly a microcosm of what the kleptocratic ruling class is still doing with the plandemic. I am just finishing reading the most recent book about the fire, "Burn Back Better: Lahaina: A Perfect Storm, Or a Perfect Crime?" — and there is so much supplementary information that could not make it into the book for reasons of logistics, and so much new information .... I am considering consolidating months of notes and links into a supplementary book. At first, I thought I would organize it around "Means, Motive, and Opportunity" ... but now considering a compare / contrast with the plandemic. Your work and comments are leaning me towards the latter.
Hi Steve! That video is precious, and the Samurai Scientist is a hero like no other in a lovely nation sadly bereft of fearless truth-speakers.
Hi Jinc, and thanks.
In the wee hours of Tokyo (for me), so I was a bit lazy, letting the headlines and videos do all the talking.
Cheers!

Thank you Transcriber!
Yes ... while listening, I had second thoughts about trying to absorb the whole thing.
Thank you again!
steve
Ditto to Jinc, loved the video. And the way that you put this together was great, Steve.
Hi Tereza,
Still woozy before my first morning's coffee.
Embarrassingly short, but so much shameless hypocrisy really irked me.
After I become fully caffinated-woke, will rejoin your intriguing YouTube post.
Catcha soon Tereza
Now you can rejoin here on the 'stack where the format is much more convo-friendly than the goo-tube, as Corbett says. Here it is: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/a-house-for-the-soul-in-the-land beyond faith.
Hi Tereza ...

Just wondering if you prefer that I basically copy-paste our YouTube back-and-forth, and carry on the dialogue from there?
Warm regards,
steve
Yes I'd love to have your comment on Substack. If you copy & paste yours, I'll copy & paste mine ;-)
LOL ... playing doctors and nurses.
Still laughing.
Will do Tereza.
steve
Exactly! Glad you got my insinuation ;-)
This is the doctor who broke the NZ exemptions story, who has some objections to the reporting:

Kudos. And thanks. God, to hear such frank discourse on this side of the pond...
Hi Dean,
I must apologize for not keeping up with what you've been up to. Information overload, and still raking through the ashes of the Lahaina massacre.
But good to hear from you. Will try to be a better correspondent.
Cheers!
Not to worry! Totally understood. And it’s not like I’m melting the keyboard these days :)
