MANHATTAN, New York—The ritual of the world-famous crystal ball drop in Times Square resumed this year after the first cancellation since 1907 of 2020’s New Year’s Eve due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
Attendance was scaled back, and everyone who was older than 5 had to show vaccination proof to be part of the party.
Any unvaccinated child younger than 5 years old had to be accompanied by a vaccinated adult, the mayor’s office stated.
