It's a much bigger issue than a vaccine.

Do you think a medical professional should refuse treatment?
Especially if doing so can impact other people, besides the patient?
Um she is creating the greater public health issue. So we are supposed to enable her?

Not everybody sees everything as a vaccine issue. This is bigger.

They are allowed to do so for religious reasons, right?

The writer of the article doesn't like playing the race or gender card. We know this because he tells us so, right before he plays the race and gender cards.

Religious reasons <> political beliefs

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Not quite. And that's usually a very narrow refusal, usually based on abortion.
As long as another professional can, it's certainly not an issue.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Hey Candace - your fight is not a matter of public interest. It’s a personal jihad. We get it, we are sorry if your eureka discovery doesn’t move us.
Gee, a black woman is refused treatment on political grounds and you find it is not newsworthy?

Also birth control, hormone therapy and the HPV vaccine.
Couldn't another professional have tested Candace?

They advertised they were the only lab in the area that did RT-PCR testing.

People are fed up with the political battle over vaccines. It never occurred to me what her gender or race was. Good luck changing the overriding narrative….it’s like pissing into the wind.
Reminds me of getting the Japanese soldiers in the jungle in WW2 to surrender. Folks, the war is over.

You’re talking about an issue where public sentiment and wishes are worthless and have no meaning.
@Doctor-Phibes your argument about HPV vaccines, hormone therapy, etc… might have merit if hormone therapy was required for travel and entry to public events and spaces.
This woman’s efforts does nothing to promote public health and in fact hinders it.

I think as a matter of policy you see that most institutions are rolling right past vaccine hesitant folks making it their problem exclusively. The time for understanding and incentives is over. Maybe I wasn’t clear in my statement.

Let me be clear in mine...I'm for vaccination, but I'm not for mandating a vaccine that only gives temporary protection from certain strains of a virus. At that point, you are letting the temporary undermine the permanent. The permanent being a Constitutional right to be secure in our property and person. In your scramble for the lifeboat, don't knock down people you do not agree with.
And while much of your argument is esoteric, I'm walking in rooms swabbing these folks or sometimes doing the difficult draws my phlebe can't do. I know up close the nastiness of the disease.

It’s an argument that now is limited to an audience of believers. Poke the bear and you will see most people get self righteous and emotional as Horace likes to point out. He thinks it is some sort of DSM-5 disorder (knight in self reflectic armor) but I don’t get his argument yet.

49% of the U.S. population is unvaccinated.
Candace is obeying the rules. She is constantly testing. You're in favor of denial of care, because of your crusade.
Would you prefer she not be tested?

I didn't say I agreed with her actions. I don't agree that people should be able to pick and choose what they do for religious reasons, either. Objectively, there's absolutely nothing special about religious beliefs - they're simply personal opinions. If you allow people special treatment because of religious belief, then you should also allow the same flexibility for other personal opinions.
