    LOL, you have ZERO gasp of this stuff. I'm done trying to educate you. Go look up suspect classifications and try to invent historically what those groups have in common with anti-vaxxers.

    And I believe you think that the government has the responsibility to protect its citizenry from discrimination.

    Once the vaccines were widely available and accessible, the public health concern became much more marginal and secondary to concerns for freedom and rights.

    The words “zero grasp” is an understatement.

    I'm asking why Florida legally cannot make anti-vaxxers a protected class in the sense that you cannot discriminate against them? It's a simple question.

    You refusing to answer is a sign of either laziness or that you're simply talking out of your ass.

    So close to getting promoted jj, I'm starting to consider banning you from even the kids table. You may need some time in the doghouse outside.

    My gosh, let’s hope you never have to face real discrimination.

    Yeah we know your type, you’re a free rider. You stand around and allow others to do all the work, and when the job is done you’re happy to take part of the credit for its success.

    So now you’re king of the kids table, huh? Go and ban me while I sit at the adult table, smile, and talk about how cute that is.

    Discrimination is discrimination, some is legal some isn't. But government has the power to outlaw certain kinds of discrimination (I say certain because there's probably an exception somewhere I'm not thinking of).

    I really have no idea how you got to that conclusion. But when all else fails attack the messenger. Nothing new here. :D

    There’s a federal law that protects those with a medical or religious reason for not getting the vaccine. I believe it’s called Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that the far right and republican SCOTUS wants to eliminate

    He’s been running circles around you. Not surprising you’re oblivious to it.

    I get it. You apparently have no problem with the state telling private corporations how to run their businesses. I assume that you wouldn't object to a mandate from the state telling businesses that they couldn't impose dress codes on their customers since it would be discriminating against customers who do not want comply with the dress codes.

    Of course you do. But the Democrats won't nominate an anti-vax nut like Kennedy because they aren't stupid.

    Democrats favor the civil rights act, yes. I know it's a thorn for folks in your circle, but liberals are generally okay with restricting the freedom to be racist in a commercial setting.

    Re speech -- DeSantis's crusade against "woke" companies speaks for itself. Say what he wants you to say or suffer the consequences.

    Hey, the government says you can't ban black people from your restaurant, so that means you have to let Republicans smear shit all over themselves before walking in. It's called freedom, look it up.

    There's that lost sense of nuance again. :D

    The state has the power to pick and choose protected classes. How do we know that? Because they've done that before and we live under such laws to this day.
