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.

She’s confusing her political activism with her MD
The evidence still strongly supports the use of vaccines and boosters.
Fauxci? Is that you?!?
All the more reason to skip the jab
Good point. Thanks.
you’re welcome...
It’s alright then.
Doctors are supposed to help anyone in need.
It’s their oath.
It’s a lot more important than making a baker make a cake for some faggots. The doctor should face the licensing board.
Does she refuse to treat smokers, obese, those with diabetes and hypertension?
Who told you life was fair and just?
I worked in hospitals for 40 plus years.
Saw infants die of brain tumors, toddlers die of cancer.
Middle school kids co.e in for a third round of leukemia, which meant all kinds of he’ll ish fun like spinal taps.
Good. Wouldn’t want to catch anything from that super spreader.
“The Hippocratic Oath is very science-based. I am following the science. I’m applying this to the benefit of the sick,” she said.
There is nothing science based in COVID. Shes a quack!
I hope you and the Florida doctor will be very happy together.
I don’t have that sense of entitlement seen here so often.
Working next to them my entire life, docs work their butts off, back and forth shifts, terrible hours, little sleep, not much time for families, constant exposure to horribly sad and very infectious events, not as much money as you think, and most have very giving and caring personalities.
Rarely complain.
They don’t owe me jack.
I appreciate them.
Those things are not contagious.
She is protecting her other pts.
in your 40+ years of working in hospitals did you always argue with patients about their concerns of the safety and side effects of any and/or all medications???...
Nope.
why are you doing it here?...
There are no studies showing deworming medicine works better than the vaccines. None. What is your strategy? Hope you get a mild case? You recommend that for the over 50 crowd? The belief in snake oil is high here.
Yeah, because no other professions do that. The Florida COVID stooge you'll defend to the end demonstrates that sense of entitlement you supposedly lack.
I have a 100% chance of avoiding the jabs side effects by skipping it, and a near 100% chance of surviving covid. I beat it once, I bet I can beat it again.
You are more than welcome to my jab. You’ll have to shoot me to get it in me (and I’ll have to be dead)
And the drug you are making fun of, it also won a peace prize for its use in humans so, you know. there is that.
(you might flip out, but the is proof it works, and our government is even giving it to afghan refuges)
