Just because Newsom is allowing businesses to open, that does not mean we are back to normal. Thanks to the extra money for unemployment, many low wage workers have no reason to get off the couch. He is telling workers, like it or not, either take the vaccine—which is experimental—or you lose your job. He is telling young people who do not need the vaccine, which is experimental, they either take the vaccine or no dorms, cafeteria or real interaction with other students. Of course for the male students this could be the cause of life long heart problems—but Newsom does not care.
This poll will tell you what real people think. Not good.
