LA County mandate for full vaccination takes effect Thursday at indoor bars

by •

Patronizing or working in an indoor bar, winery, brewery, nightclub or lounge in Los Angeles County will require proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 beginning Thursday.

The regulation recommends, but does not require, vaccine verification for employees and customers of indoor portions of restaurants.

The county mandate was phased in beginning in early October, when workers and patrons at such adult-oriented businesses were required to show proof of at least one dose of COVID vaccine. But starting Thursday, everyone will have to have proof of full vaccination and present a photo ID.

Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said when the mandate was announced that the county limited the vaccination requirement to adult-oriented establishments that sell alcohol, since they are already required to verify customers’ age. She said adding a vaccine check should not require additional staffing or be unduly difficult for the businesses.

Beginning Monday, an even more expansive vaccination-verification ordinance will take effect in the city of Los Angeles. That ordinance will require proof of full COVID-19 vaccination for entry to indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, shopping centers, entertainment venues and personal care establishments within the city. The ordinance does not include grocery stores or pharmacies.

The city ordinance is believed to be the strictest law of its kind in the country, however, questions still remain on how the city plans to enforce the requirement. City officials have suggested the Department of Building and Safety is the most logical enforcement agency, however, that department lacks the personnel to conduct such enforcement.

Businesses violating the city ordinance would be issued a $1,000 fine for a second violation, $2,000 fine for a third violation and a $5,000 fine for a fourth violation.

The city’s ordinance will also require proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID test within 72 hours to attend an outdoor event with 5,000 or more people. That is stricter than the county mandate, which applies to outdoor events with 10,000 or more people.

As of Oct. 28, 80% of Los Angeles County residents aged 12 and up have received at least one dose of vaccine, and 72% are fully vaccinated, according to the county Department of Public Health.

  1. Doctors are finally speaking out against America’s vaccine data. The problem is they are selective about what data to publish, and rejecting any study that might bring light to what the vaccine is doing to the human body. No doctor can give informed consent with any of these vaccines. It is impossible. There is NO, absolutely no long term studies on them. Countries such as Israel and the UK are telling a completely different story than America. There is no pandemic of the unvaccinated. If the vaccination worked, there would be no need for a booster. If the vaccinated protected people, there would be no need for any one who had the vaccine to panic. Other countries are reporting deaths of fully vaccinated people at alarming rates. Children are having inflammation of the heart and heart attacks from the vaccine. These are unconstitutional, and are still emergency use authorized. The licensed vaccine is not even available in the USA. It would drain Pfizer of the billions it just made from lawsuits.

    • Sooo much bullschnit in that post… Where to even begin…

      Of course, that’s the plan with these muttonheaded mango morons; just blast out so much crap that it’s damn near impossible to respond to it all, then go to whataboutism when challenged.

      Fortunately, this bots posting was all pure BS, so it can be dismissed wholesale and be done with it.

    • This jumble of claims seems like a clear case of shotgunning to see if anything sticks. I see no reason to take them on one by one, just wanted to point out that the approach itself speaks to the lack of credibility.

  2. Went to Lucky Luke’s in Palmdale and wasn’t asked for proof of vaccination Friday 11-5-21 The day they do they loose my business.

  3. The incompetents start their attack based on licensing coercion. No science to see here. The laughable policy buffoons use psyops to cover for their failure. And yet there are those who applaud the destruction of enterprise. Leaches dressed as bureaucratic policy experts.

        • If you had bothered to read further, you would see that Tim Scott responds to comments replete with lies, misinformation, disinformation and so on from the Trumpers.

          He responds with researched facts but it doesn’t stop the usual right wingers/Trumpers. So, he goes to Plan B which is to mock them.

          They are too ignorant to get many jokes however but it’s entertaining for the rest of us.

          Apparently, you don’t or can’t get the humor either. Are you new?

        • LOL…this is absolutely hilarious. I don’t know which is less worthy of attention: covid information from Dr Zink, or absurdist remote mental health diagnoses from an anonymous dimwit.

        • Despite the fact that they ridicule me mercilessly for my naivete, foolishness, ignorance and conservative views, I assure you that Tim and William are gracious and personable gentlemen in person. Be comfortable in your own skin and you won’t take it so seriously.

          They are however, very jealous of my model looks.

          • Hey, America Most

            You have to be gracious and personable yourself to notice that in others and you are.

            But, I gotta tell ya. You couldn’t hide that all this time even when we were bickering. Your generous spirit showed through even your wickedest comments here.

            If looks could kill , you’re already locked and loaded. Move over Brad Pitt.

            And you’re missed when you’re not here.

        • I wouldn’t be concerned about any of the commenters here, and mental health issues. This insignificant site makes a zero impact on the community or the bigger picture.

          • If this site is so insignificant, why does Wrecks monitor it and have his shills respond?

          • Because Wrecks and his minions leave nothing to chance. They will fight on every front since they have the city treasury to spend and no shortage of manpower.

            But as far as this site actually making a difference? Minor at best.

            With Wrecks openly controlling all the major media in the valley using the revenue stream from his law firm’s advertising this site is all we have though, so I’m glad to support it. In fact this is the only site I have white listed in my ad blocker, and I follow at least one advertising link every day.
