Westminster, CA asked in Civil Rights for California

Q: "proof of Vax or talk to manager re.medical reasons why you refused. Either way still refused service to me.I'm disabled

I was recently in Palm Springs for a week , and my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant next to the hotel. This restaurant had a sign on the door saying proof of vaccination unless you talk to a manager.. well no we're not vaxed. I suffer from ptsd and sever depression and under Dr care and we told them this .they stil told us we couldn't eat without proof of Vax. We left and read the door and went back in asked for a manager, and still said we couldn't eat there. I was sad and don't feel like I was treated fairly. We even reminded them about the door.. I don't know but I think they were wrong. And I have a picture of the sign on their door. Do I have a case?

A: No you don't have a case. This is a health issue, and restaurants can refuse to expose their employees to people who refuse to be vaccinated.

Remember when we were kids? We had to get vaccinated to attend school. It's no different now.

Coronavirus is still killing thousands of people, has already killed more than 700,000 Americans, and some countries in Europe are seeing an explosion of new cases among the unvaccinated. Where ever you look, the only people getting sick and dying are the unvaccinated. There is an airborne pathogen out there that is killing people all over the world. The only protection you can get is a vaccination, to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Get the vaccination and eat where ever you want. Don't get vaccinated and businesses all over California can discriminate against you and there's nothing you can do about it, legally that is.
