[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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? [b]Choosing not to get a vaccine outs everyone around you at risk and is selfish.[/b]  Being a member of a religion should only effects you. [/quote]
Try to keep up with the science. The vaccines don't really seem to prevent infection, they just protect you from significantly bad outcomes. An unvaccinated person doesn't pose a risk to the vaccinated. If anything, it's the other way around.

This is just about moral shaming, nothing else,

Tell that to family of the 90 year old who was fully vaccinated but caught COVID from someone who wasn’t. Do you understand viral load and viral shedding at all? Do you understand viruses need hosts in order to mutate? I’m not interested in giving you a science lesson since you Seem to think science is a belief and not fact. [/quote]
