Why should a private business not have the right to free speech?
Why should a private business not have the right to refuse service?
if it's straight up discrimination then that's bad. refusing service based on stuff like religious beliefs I can understand, but discrimination based on anything, including partaking in medical experiments, is wrong.
What if the business believes that the unvaccinated pose a direct health threat to their employees or their families? Should they be forced to put aside their beliefs?
Conversely, if you believe that the vaccinated shed spike proteins that could harm yourself or your employees, should you be forced to cater to them?
honestly idk, those aren't easy questions to answer. however in this context where the vaccine is experimental then it IS wrong to discriminate against people for their vaccination status.
But it's not wrong, because they are not simply discriminating based on a personal difference, and certainly not just different opinions.
They are defending themselves based on the belief of potential harm to their business or employees or customers. No business wants to shut down for two weeks because all their employees are sick. No business wants to be responsible for putting their customers in danger.
How can you argue that you have a right to service when it might put others in harm's way?
As for "experimental" status, no medication that is one year old can be guaranteed against longer term side effects. It's literally not possible. But your fear that the vaccine is dangerous does not override their fear that the virus is dangerous. At the same time, if you want to say "it's just a flu" they get to say "it's just a vaccine" and you have to accept that.
I see your point, but the problem is what happens when the only grocery store within an hour's drive wont serve the unvaccinated? What happens when every store takes that stance? I realize there are alternatives, but at what point does the burden become onerous upon the individual?
Large businesses especially have the power to enforce their will on the populace in much the same way governments do. On the other hand, overregulation is as harmful as well...
Thanks for this one =) Imma half to chew on this for a while..
Really the simple answer is that if that grocery store doesn't want to cater to the unvaccinated, but were told they couldn't discriminate on those grounds, they could just close for everyone, right? And, if every store decided to do that, what would you do?
The point is you don't have a right to service (no shirt, no shoes, no vaccine, etc). This isn't Soviet Russia. The government doesn't give you a job and tell you to do it no matter what.
Basically, if they want your business, they will concede, but they should not be forced to.
You could always open your own grocery store. Just think of the giant untapped market for the unvaccinated. It's literally the American way.
