2. non-compliant patients get dropped all the time

Wife worked for a back doctor many years ago -- if a patient did not go to physical therapy when told to -- the doctor would drop the patient as soon as he/she asked for pain meds.

If you won't listen to the doctor and get a vaccine -- then you should find a doctor that you will listen to.

I have no problem with PCP doing this to protect their staff, patients, and family members of those two groups.

Choices have consequences.

Just wait until insurance companies can add on a surcharge for the unvaccinated that will make smoking look like a cheap hobby.
