[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are they doing this? The vax mandate was great[/quote]

It destroys small businesses, especially restaurants. [/quote]

Why, though? Most of DC is vaccinated, and this should encourage those who aren't to get vaccinated. [/quote]

No.   It encourages people (including those who are vaccinated) to not patronize businesses.

I'm vaccinated, and very much against mandates.   I won't eat in a restaurant that requires a vaccine.   That's absurd--three years ago no restaurant was asking to see proof of a measles shot before they'd let me eat.

So then you're the reason that small businesses suffer - you wouldn't eat in a restaurant when there was a vaccine mandate that they were legally required to adhere to? This wasn't a choice made by individual restaurants - though now it will be - it was a decision made by the city. [/quote]
DP. I feel bad for the restaurants, sure. But, I'm not going to patronize them if I find the jurisdiction's laws offensive.

Would you go to a restaurant in a city where the laws required a certain ethnic or racial group to sit only in the basement room and use separate restrooms? [/quote]

Oh come on. Race and ethnicity are not a choice. Choosing not to get a vaccine IS a choice. [/quote]
We all draw our lines at different places.

Okay, then. Religion is a choice. Based on your post, I assume you'd be okay with a city ordinance that required a specific religious group to eat outside and only use a port-o-potty at restaurants?  [/quote]

Nope. Most people are born into a religion. Those who discriminate against them don’t care if they choose to be religious or not. You’re really comparing getting a vaccine to a religion? Choosing not to get a vaccine outs everyone around you at risk and is selfish.  Being a member of a religion should only effects you. [/quote]
