A doctor in South Florida will now refuse to treat any patient that has not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Lina Marraccini, a primary care doctor in Miami, is now the second physician to make this decision.
“This is a public health emergency,” she wrote in a letter, “the health of the public takes priority over the rights of any given individual in this situation.”
“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.”
Marraccini said her refusal to treat unvaccinated patients is a result of the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine. Beginning September 14, she will no longer treat patients if they haven’t received their first shot.
“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.
Patients will have one month to find another provider if they choose to do so, during which her office will continue to provide virtual appointments for unvaccinated patients, Fox News reports.
Similarly, Alabama Dr. Jason Valentine announced in August that he will no longer treat unvaccinated patients beginning October 1.
“We do not yet have any great treatments for severe disease, but we do have great prevention with vaccines,” Valentine wrote in his letter to patients. “Unfortunately, many have declined to take the vaccine, and some end up severely ill or dead. I cannot and will not force anyone to take the vaccine, but I also cannot continue to watch my patients suffer and die from an eminently preventable disease.”

“This is a public health emergency,” she wrote in a letter, “the health of the public takes priority over the rights of any given individual in this situation.” Uh-huh—so we’ve been told while the powers that be flaunt their own mandates.
“Marraccini said her refusal to treat unvaccinated patients is a result of the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine. Beginning September 14, she will no longer treat patients if they haven’t received their first shot.” The relationship between the FDA and mainstream medicine isn’t anything new. Big Pharma and doctors have their own thing going on.
Anyway, you’re not the only doctor around.
It seems that the FDA did not give full approval.

Me thinks I smell rat.
I’d love to see everyone not jus boycott that doctor, but form a mass protest outside, SO NO ONE ELSE can get in!
I suppose they have the right to not treat a patient. On the other hand, patients have the right to expect that their doctor will respect their health care decisions so they have the right to find a doctor who will. Should the vaccine prove to not be effective against new strains will the doctors stop treating those who don’t get a booster? What if there are long term health repreccussions from the vaccine, will the doctor stop treating those patients?
And, do these doctors treat those who eat junk food, who smoke, who have many sexual partners, who make lifestyle choices that are less than safe or that put them at risk? Where exactly does one stop with this?
I wonder. IF a doctor said “I won’t treat those who voted for biden!”, would those saying “The doctor has the right to make this choice”, feel the same way!?
So for some doctors that Doctors Oath does not apply?
Well, look at the sheer # of docs who perform abortions! THEY Certainly care not about their oath!
There’s more than two Primary Care Physicians (PCP doctors) dropping patients who haven’t been vaccinated. I live on the Treasure Coast of Florida, Port St Lucie and my PCP doctor dropped me last week because I wasn’t vaccinated, which is her right. I have a compromised immune system and I’ve been told that the “vaccine” could make my immune system run amok, I live with constant and oft times severe pain through out my whole body, I truly do not want it to become worse than it is now. My former doctor knew this, but she went ahead an dropped me anyway. I suspect that there are other doctors who are doing the same.
Let’s hope you can find a NEW doctor, who won’t.. BUT I FEAR this insanity is spreading through out the doctor community..
