“#California restaurant asks patrons for ‘proof of being UNvaccinated’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

They want hard proof.<\/p>\n

A California restaurant notorious for disregarding COVID protocols is \u201cdoubling down\u201d on COVIDIOCY \u2014 by requiring patrons to prove that they haven\u2019t<\/em> been vaccinated. <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom day one, never complied, banned masks, and now \u2026 requiring proof of being
Un-vaccinated!\u201d read a recent Instagram<\/a> post by Basilico\u2019s Pasta E Vino in Huntington Beach.<\/p>\n

Accompanying pics show the Italian restaurant emblazoned with signs that read: \u201cNOTICE: Proof of being UNvaccinated required.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have zero tolerance for treasonous, anti-American stupidity,\u201d the now-viral notice adds. <\/p>\n

The Orange County eatery first found itself in social media<\/a>\u2019s viral crosshairs at the start of the pandemic in 2020 after opting to remain open despite the statewide indoor dining shutdown, according to KTLA<\/a>. They then defied mask mandates by requiring diners to remove their face coverings before sitting down to eat. <\/p>\n

However, this most recent inflammatory policy might be purely performative \u2014 a Basilico employee has revealed they haven\u2019t witnessed the restaurant actually screening patrons based on their vax status, the LA Times reported <\/a>Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The anti-PPE placards are actually a tongue-in-cheek jab at \u201cthe lockdown tiny tyrants\u201d that were requiring people to provide evidence that they\u2019ve received the shot, restaurant owner Tony Roman wrote an email to the West Coast outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe chose to fire another missile of defiance to further make our point in defense of American liberty and freedom,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The measure comes as venues across California impose \u201cproof of vaccination\u201d policies amid a nationwide spike in cases of COVID\u2019s Delta variant, especially among the un-inoculated. <\/p>\n

A report earlier this month found that a recent seven-day average of new infections jumped 70 percent from the previous average to about 26,300. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a message that is crystal clear: This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,\u201d said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \u201cWe are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage, because unvaccinated people are at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, despite the alarming statistics, stubborn COVID shot skeptics continue to flip the bird to vaccine protocols. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, rocker Eric Clapton announced that he will refuse to perform in any venues that require guests to have been vaccinated against COVID-19.<\/p>\n
