Ah, I see you're using the false equivalency argument.
Should it be considered illegal discrimination to not allow drunks to drive?
Should it be considered illegal discrimination to not allow someone with HIV from donating blood?
Should it be considered illegal discrimination for a hospital to require licensed doctors?
- infamouscow 3y agoIncorrectly identifying logical fallacies doesn't answer my question. The path arriving to the outcomes is different, but the outcomes are the same. My question is what, exactly, is the distinction because I struggle to see one. More concretely, if someone took a COVID vaccine and had a terrible allergic reaction, doctors will strongly advise against further vaccination. Should that person's immutable physical traits justify discrimination against them?

Should that person's immutable physical traits justify discrimination against them? Are there safety concerns? then yes. We don't let people with epilepsy drive, despite that being an immutable characteristic.
- infamouscow 3y agoI think there is a lot of nuance about safety and we probably disagree on the specifics, but I appreciate and thank you for answering and helping elucidate my understanding :)
