An Alabama doctor is taking a bold stance in the efforts to get more people vaccinated against COVID-19.
Dr. Jason Valentine, a physician at Mobile’s Diagnostic and Medical Clinic Infirmary Health, posted a photo on his Facebook page showing him posed next to a sign that says “effective Oct. 1, 2021, Dr. Valentine will no longer see patients that are not vaccinated against COVID-19.”
Since posting the sign, Valentine wrote that three unvaccinated patients asked where they could get a vaccine.
…
Valentine said he is currently in the process of mailing a letter to patients about his decision. He posted a copy of the letter online.
“We do not yet have any great treatments for severe disease, but we do have great prevention with vaccines. Unfortunately, many have declined to take the vaccine, and some end up severely ill or dead. I cannot and will not force anyone to take the vaccine, but I also cannot continue to watch my patients suffer and die from an eminently preventable disease,” the letter said. “Therefore, as of October 1st, 2021, I will no longer see patients that have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. If you wish to keep me as your physician, documentation of your vaccination will suffice. If you wish to choose another physician, we will be happy to transfer your records.”

Several people around me are having very bad medical problems after having gotten the jab months ago. Also one death probably vaccine related.
Another parallel reaction to covid as to tobacco use. Some docs don’t want to treat smokers.
However, if you’re gay and get AIDS, no problem treating that.
Or play contact sports and break a bone, get a concussion, or get paralyzed, no prob there either.
Shot during the commission of a crime? Step right up to the ER!
He looks overweight. He should not be treated for heart disease. He has an underlying condition; he should not be treated if he comes down with Covid.
So much for his Hippocratic Oath.
Being afraid to treat people that might get sick and being a doctor don’t really go together so well.
AIDS patients see how that goes
I guess he swore to uphold the HYPOCRITIC oath, not the Hyppocratic Oath.
I'd be asking where I could find a new doctor.
I have an exam coming up; if my doctor pulls this I'll move on.
This guy might consider some Finasteride
“If a wedding planner can be forced to violate their convictions and a baker can be forced to bake a cake in violation of their religious views, how can a licensed physician be so blatantly biased against his patients.”
Answer: Because, if it weren’t for double standards, some people wouldn’t have any standards at all.
Just as a reminder to the douchbag doctor:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.
I will not be ashamed to say “I know not”, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
My Mom got a 15 minute lecture from her heart doctor the last time for not having the vaccine. I am about to go to my GP for a blood pressure checkup via tele-medicine visit and expect a lecture which ain’t going to fly very long.
The last visit doc started the vaccine lecture about how I needed it and how he’s take it to which I said if your still alive in 5 years and nothing has fallen off of you I’ll consider the jab and he let it alone finally.
I would be collecting my medical records from this clod and tell him I wouldn’t let him treat a dead cat he is so unprofessional an inhuman.
The CDC Does Not Mandate Covid-19 Vaccine For Employees
Nuff said.
Derangement. Total. How did he ever get into med school with such poor logic skills?
If he is that inept I would never go to him twice in the first place.
Wonder what his ratings are?
Interesting business move considering an approx. 50% vaccination rate in the US for a 99.7% survivable virus.
Hmmmm. Dr. Jason isn’t just really well thought of by his patients anyway.
His ratings are between 2 and 3 on a scale of 5.
