There is no evidence that I am aware of that supports it otherwise improving cognition, but for many people anxiolytics will behave like nootropics (and indeed are sometimes listed as one!)
It further concludes:
> High doses of nicotine or repeated exposure may also promote anxiety (citing 3 studies)
> low doses of nicotine have a similar effect to decrease anxiety behaviours [...] whereas high doses of nicotine promote anxiety behaviours
Also not really sure how the Politifact you cite is relevant to the content here. A more appropriate one might be something like "Hochul does not have authority to veto the ruling of the state court, which makes her assertions about not rehiring unvaccinated HCWs mostly hot air."
Edit: ah, I see, the crux of the issue is that New York in fact lost a mere 11,000 HCWs as a direct result of firings due to the vaccination mandate. The ones who took an early retirement or were furloughed (and presumably still are) bring the total to 30,000.
Murdoch's NY Post is a tabloid too, ranked 4th in the US by distribution; are they "mainstream?"
> ah, I see, the crux of the issue
Oh wow, you didn't know any of these facts before posting. You're their target audience.
> "I think everybody who goes into a healthcare facility or nursing home should have the assurance, and their family members should know, that we have taken all the steps to protect the public's health," Hochul said. "And that includes making sure that those who come in contact with them at their time of most vulnerability, when they are sick or elderly, will not pass on the virus."
It's really too bad the establishment media has abdicated on reporting things like this and left the field entirely wide open to right wing sources like the Epoch Times.
It's the second-largest television station operator in the United States, owning/operating about 200 stations, covering 40% of American households. Our former president publicly supported them and he's a coastal elite who's very well connected.
> New York lost nearly 34,000 health care workers due to the vaccination requirement
Note how vague "lost" is here. It includes workers that quit, retired, etc.
it was up to employers, rather than the governor, to determine what happened to employees who did not comply

1. Trump supporters have been made an example of by keeping a bunch of them in jail for years for the crime of walking through a building;
2. There are enough court cases and grand juries outstanding against Trump that one of them will eventually get him and he'll be banned from running again;
3. In any case, a plausible primary rival for Trump has emerged (DeSantis) who has enough flaws of his own (anti-vaxx, anti-woke) that we can use him as a punching bag for the next few years;
4. Trump was allowed back on Twitter but is still playing on his own platform;
Therefore:
We can safely win some PR points by pretending to give a crap about freedom of expression by letting Trump back on our platform.
This is really the most nuanced understanding that you can muster
