A doctor in South Miami, Florida said she is refusing to treat any unvaccinated patients in person because it is "not fair" on others, Newsweek reported.
Dr. Linda Marraccini said she decided to implement the policy, which will go into effect on September 15, because she has other patients who are immunocompromised or in chemotherapy and does not want to expose them to the virus in her clinic.
"It's not fair for people who are unvaccinated to harm other people," Marraccini, who continued to see all of her patients in person during the pandemic, told Newsweek.
The doctor insisted she was not violating the Hippocratic Oath, which is still held sacred by many physicians.
"The Hippocratic Oath is very science-based. I am following the science. I'm applying this to the benefit of the sick," she said.
"Responsibility has to do with each individual," Marraccini added. "This is a global health issue, and everyone owns part of that responsibility."
Marraccini said she will still be seeing unvaccinated patients, but only through virtual meetings. She said that she would make exceptions for people who cannot get the vaccine for health reasons.
"We're not going to leave them out there in the cold," she insisted, according to Newsweek.

Will he bake a wedding cake for a gay couple I know?
She needs to have her license pulled.
Sounds like a crappy doctor. Chemo patients and those undergoing certain immunotherapy for cancer should not get the vax.
How is she allowing her unvaxxed chemo patients in her office?
A-hole of the week Award!
She “follows the science,” just like everyone else.
She has violated her Hippocratic Oath. Working in a hospital gives her protection that we others don’t have.
You'll be able to recognize the unvaxxed by the yellow covid symbol sewn to their coat.
Absolutely agree.
Thanks for the ping! You are always on top of the most interesting stories!
I have lost faith in most institutions especially science and health.
One of my Daughter’s doctors is doing the same thing. Will only do video appointments with unvaxxed patients.
The unbounded ability of liberals to lie to themselves as well as others somehow still astonishes me.
Wouldn’t you love to see the Yahoo “newsroom” ?
It must look like a NEA convention.
I think that’s great. It’s good to know if someone is a nutcase.
Yes, or the government approved chip in your brain...GPS coordinates at all times.
Oh, and they will tax you for driving. It’s too bad for those of us who are in flyover country.
Well, except for the black and brown and yellow people, who can get hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin over the counter and in most instances free.
I'm beginning to wonder what the plan is.
Africans in the Ivermectin belt won't need a quaxx shot.
In India, they're using Ivermectin.
Indonesians [and other ethnic groups in that region] don't like injections, so they're using Ivermectin.
This is mostly the same crowd that pretends that the Paris Accord on climate fraud will work - even though India and China will just ignore it.
And denying care to the sick. Hypocrite.
DeSantis Promotes Monoclonal Antibody Treatment
> Sep 3, 2021
I hope this man is the next POTUS.
I’ll vote happily for Trump if he’s the candidate, but DeSantis has a better chance of winning.
Please watch this. True leadership and competence on display.

Doctors shouldn’t be forced to do procedures they don’t agree with, like abortions. Bakers shouldn’t have decorate a cake. I agree with this doctor taking a stand on her principles.
I thought doctors were supposed to treat people who are sick and get them better.
