“This week, the City of San Francisco will begin requiring proof of vaccination for residents to enter indoor facilities such as restaurants and events. In New York, the state’s “Excelsior” pass and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s sweeping vaccine mandates have come under fire for not providing exceptions and making it harder for beleaguered business owners to get back on their feet following the pandemic shutdowns.”
Frieda Powers at BizPacReview reports on a script prepared by
Dr. Anthony Hinton -- for you -- should you be asked for your vax papers in order
to be served at your local restaurant:
With more parts of the country
trampling on individual privacy and issuing requirements for vaccine passports,
one medical professional is pushing back with a practical guide on Twitter.
Dr. Anthony Hinton, whose Twitter
bio describes him as a “Consultant Surgeon with 30 years experience in the
NHS,” posted a script from a scenario of a restaurant-goer
being asked to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to be served.
“Next time you are asked for your
COVID passport here’s what to do,” the tweet was captioned, in obvious response
to the mandates in various cities and states that now require vaccine
verification for entry and service.
The tweet suggests Americans being
asked to show their papers should push back and highlight the hypocrisy of
COVID mandates while other communicable diseases are ignored. After the
hypothetical restaurant patron named “Bill” is asked by the waitress “do you
and your guest have your Vaccination Cards?” he responds: “Can you tell us who
our server will be?”
“Um, looks like Brad will be your
server tonight,” the waitress replies.
“Great. Can you show us Brad’s
Vaccination Card?” Bill then asks. “And also, can you provide me with proof
that Brad is not a carrier of HIV, Hepatitis A or B, or any other communicable
diseases. Same for you and the kitchen staff.”
But why stop there? The script goes
on, pointing out that the medical histories of all of the restaurant’s
employees should be requested.
“Also, we would prefer not to be
served by someone who is on or uses recreational drugs…” the customer
continues, “so if you could provide us with Brad’s most recent tox screen, that
would be great. As a matter of fact, I’m going to need to see all of your
employees’ medical history.”
At this point in the scenario, the
server announces she will get the manager.
“Make sure they have their Vax Card
and medical records please,” the customer responds.
