Florida doctor will refuse to treat unvaccinated patients
NY Post ^ | Sep 6 | By Patrick Reilly

Posted on 09/07/2021 5:07:05 PM PDT by RandFan

A South Florida doctor became the second physician to make the contentious decision to refuse treatment to unvaccinated patients in a COVID-ravaged state.

Lina Marraccini, a primary care doctor in South Miami, chastised patients for a “lack of selflessness” in a letter that claimed the unvaxxed pose too great a risk to her staff.

“This is a public health emergency — the health of the public takes priority over the rights of any given individual in this situation,” said Marraccini wrote in the letter, obtained by NBC 6.

“It appears that there is a lack of selflessness and concern for the burden on the health and well-being of our society from our encounters.”

The doctor said the ban on unvaccinated patients was due to the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine. On Sept. 15, she will no longer see unvaccinated patients if they haven’t received their first shot. But exceptions can be made.

“If any of our patients have a valid medical reason for not having the vaccine or have their first shot by September 15, please let us know,” she wrote.

This doctor should lose his medical license.

I think he’s going to find that isn’t a legally tenable position, unless he wants to try to claim it goes against his commie religion?

Isn’t that a violation of the Hippocratic Oath?

I love how libs are always formally notifying you that you don’t want to do business with them. Very considerate!

It worked out wonderfully for that baker and those fags.

I might start a restaurant. I’m going to have a colored area and a colored water fountain...

That’s a good thing. He’s probably a super spreader.

Count that as one doctor I'd just as soon not have treating me. Her position is that unvaccinated patients comprise more of a risk to her (presumably vaccinated) staff than vaccinated ones. Wrong: if they're both sick, they're both contagious. And proper staff sterile procedures should protect them against both.

This is a "doctor" who predicates her treatment on political prejudice. If she cuts corners there, where else does she cut corners?

It’s a husband/wife practice. She’s out for the publicity, nothing more.

No problem. Florida can get by without one formerly licensed
physician in the state.

Vaccinated are not welcome. I’ll have vax sniffing attack hounds outside.

P.S. No fat chicks.

Yep.

That, and virtue-signaling at the same time.

She sounds like quite the Karen.

Actually, the vaxxed can carry a higher viral load, making them more of a threat.
