Previous protests
It was at least the second time in as many weeks that the COVID vaccine mandate has drawn protesters to Grace Mansion.
Protesters gathered outside the home Oct. 28 to protest Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio's vaccine mandate, which required first responders to receive at least one dose of the vaccine by Oct. 29 or take leave without pay.
New York City firefighters joined the Oct. 28 protest.
"We worked through this pandemic," an FDNY officer in his 50s, who requested anonymity due to department policy, told Fox News at the time. "Many of us got sick at that time. There was no vaccination. We put our families at risk. We put ourselves at risk."
