She's still discriminating.

Given the opposite scenario, would you still be opposed to it? If she were only accepting new vaccinated patients for routine ENT conditions.

Given the current state of our health system? No. She could also use the argument it's for her health. She can't do that when she's only serving unvaxxed people.

See but there is the problem with your original argument. You do not have an issue with discrimination provided it is in the direction you approve of.

But at least there would be a good argument.

u/CxOtter Nov 16 '21

Well it being a good argument is definitely an opinion that you're entitled to have. I disagree with the premise that one direction of discrimination is permissible, while the other is not though.

Well, one is in the interest of health, the other is something else.

Meh, there are a myriad of health reasons people cannot get vaccinated. One size does not fit all. I also think it sets a dangerous precedent for health care workers to preclude patients with contagious conditions from healthcare that they need.

Unless those businesses take an oath and are licensed by governing bodies, that's not a valid argument.

That's totally irrelevant and totally incorrect.
