A Florida doctor said she's refusing to treat unvaccinated patients in person but denied violating the Hippocratic Oath, says report

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.

Glad you survived covid and have some unknown level of immunity. I have no problem with you remaining unvaccinated. It’s the 50+ crowd that may not be as healthy or lucky. Although the under 50 is not immune from getting “unlucky” (that pesky .03 percent that die).

IVM works better than a placebo (which is to say, doing nothing at all.). Sometimes patients get better a little faster, sometimes they still end up dead or hospitalized. IVM does not work better than the vaccine. Just a different set of odds, that are worse if you take the dewormer instead of Operation Warp Speed. Which is Trump recommending?

Meh...

If all doctors of the establishment variety go this route, I’ll take it that I won’t be in need of their services anyhoo.

I wrote no study says IVM works better than a vaccine. You proved my point— 73% reduction for IVM vs. 91% reduction for vaccines. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0607-mrna-reduce-risks.html Thanks for the data though.

I can’t seem to get an honest answer from the anti-vaxxers... What covid preventative is DJT recommending?

Hmmm - maybe these virtuous doctors should not treat people who speed when they drive or as the Babylonbee mocked - not treat people who don’t wear seat belts. It’s crazy there are self-righteous enough doctors like this and just as insane the many many supporters. People need to ‘obey’ THE science or be left for dead - right?

If a doctor doesn’t want to treat drunk drivers, that should be fine. Don’t force people to decorate a cake or operate on a drunk. As long as someone else can step up and do the work. We wouldn’t force a doctor to perform a (legal) abortion if they objected. How is that different?

Wife was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer Oct 2019. Normally October is flu season. With all those people on chemo treatment, no one in the clinic had masks.

She is a good little nazi.

I guess the dingbat never heard of natural immunity?

Un-jabbed people have a 99.97% recovery, yet dingbat does not realize this.

I hope they pull her license. What a piece of trash.

Interesting to know exactly where you stand when it comes to how medical professionals should judge whether or not to treat another human. Crazy days - Treatment only for the ‘righteous’.

“Chemo patients and those undergoing certain immunotherapy for cancer should not get the vax.”

Should cancer patients and survivors get the vaccine?

Many expert medical groups recommend that most people with cancer or a history of cancer get the COVID-19 vaccine once it’s available to them.

The main concern about getting the vaccine is not whether it’s safe for people with cancer, but about how effective it will be, especially in people with weakened immune systems. Some cancer treatments like chemotherapy (chemo), radiation, stem cell or bone marrow transplant, or immunotherapy can affect the immune system, which might make the vaccine less effective. People with certain types of cancers, like leukemias or lymphomas, can also have weakened immune systems which might make the vaccine less effective. ...

Despite this, experts still recommend that most cancer patients get the vaccine because those with a fragile immune system are at risk for severe COVID-19 disease, so getting even some protection from the vaccine is better than not having any protection.

Should cancer patients get the COVID-19 vaccine?

A: It depends on what type of cancer treatment you are receiving, which is why we strongly recommend talking with your oncologist. But, in general, these are our recommendations for patients undergoing:

Chemotherapy – We recommend that patients who are completing their chemotherapy in the next two to three months delay getting their COVID-19 vaccination until treatment is completed. For those undergoing chemotherapy for a longer period, it might be beneficial to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in between rounds of chemotherapy. Talk to your oncologist about getting the first or second COVID-19 shot two weeks before a round of chemotherapy.
Radiation Therapy – You should be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at any time, but we recommend talking with your radiation oncologist first.
Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant – We recommend that patients delay the COVID-19 vaccination until one to three months after transplant. We would postpone the COVID-19 vaccine for a longer period of time if you are placed on steroids and experience decreased immune function.
Immunotherapy – We recommend that you talk with your oncologist about the timing for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Chronic Oral Immunosuppressive Medication – If you are not on active treatment but still take chronic oral immunosuppressive drugs, we recommend that you get the COVID-19 vaccine.

I just don’t believe in forcing someone to do a job they don’t want to do assuming there is other work that can be done and someone else is willing to do the job. Bake the cake or we will bankrupt you is tyrannical.

Just another sad example of the cognitive dissonance that is so prevalent amongst leftists. And this person is a doctor?

To those of us not prone to such self-brainwash, this sort of 'thinking' (for lack of a better term) is incomprehensible.

I'm happy to not consider politicized doctors to be my physicians. So, I thank her for self-identifying.

This is the type of "doctor" who considers gun ownership to be a "disease".

If her other patients have the so-called vaccine, why is she afraid of the unvaccinated?

I hope they sue.
