>The discrimination against non-vaxxed people is based on the fact they are non-vaxxed and potential sources of risk.
Poor people can be thought of a being more risky to be around, because they have low standard of living, can't afford prompt health care and so on, so there are chances that they might be carriers of contagious diseases..
So you can argue that being around poor people is riskier than being around rich people. Do you want to discriminate against them based on that?
No, if you don't want to be around poor people, you are free to do that. But you should not be able to mandate that poor people must not show up in community places.
>It's a little bit like discriminating against those who don't have a drivers license who want to drive a car i.e. reasonable grounds for discriminating.
Driving a car is not a fundamental right. Freedom is.
- jollybean 5y ago1) Being poor doesn't materially increase the risk of anything. 2) There's the issue of inequity i.e. poor people don't have access to healthcare, whereas everyone has access to vaccines. 3) Driving the car that you own seems to be more of a freedom, frankly than the ability to enter a restaurant. You have neither the right nor freedom to go on someone else's private property. COVID is real, it's a deadly virus that spreads rapidly for which we have a variety of vaccines. If a restaurant wants to keep their patrons safe and you don't want to have a vaccine, then you'll have to go to another restaurant at least for several months until COVID subsides to the point where there's little material risk to anyone. It's just the reality of the situation.
