Giuliani was initially told he'd need to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test, but was recently informed he would need proof of vaccination to physically attend the debate. Giuliani will now attend remotely.

In a Sunday morning press conference, leading GOP gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani promised that if he's elected governor, state and city workers who lost their job due to required COVID vaccines will, on day one, "get their job back with back pay."

Giuliani, the son of former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, also said he'd completely and totally "throw all of these mandates into the dustbin of history." New York State employees are currently mandated to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or show weekly negative tests while NYC workers must be singularly vaccinated for employment.

The press conference was held at the WCBS Broadcast Center in Manhattan, the location's choice a response to Giuliani being banned from tomorrow's 7pm WCBS-hosted Republican primary gubernatorial debate. Giuliani agreed to attend and was told by WCBS that the only covid requirement was successful completion of a negative covid test. Giuliani remarked that he hasn't taken the vaccine based on his natural immunity and due to the vaccine's inefficiency in preventing transmission.
