Owner Says Heโ€™s Gotten Praise, Death Threats Over Controversial Stance

A cab company in Missouri has rolled out a new rule for the COVID-19 vaccinated: If youโ€™ve taken โ€œthe injection,โ€ youโ€™ll be denied service.

The same rule applies to wearing a mask.

โ€œWe kind of just let them know up front that we donโ€™t allow masks in the vehicle. I ask them if theyโ€™ve done any โ€˜shots.โ€™ I donโ€™t get into the whys with customers. I ask them to do their own homework,โ€ Charlie Burlington, owner of St. Louis-based Yo Transportation, told The Epoch Times.

Likewise, Burlington said he wonโ€™t serve customers carrying guns or marijuana, even with a doctorโ€™s prescription, as a matter of policy.

โ€œWe have a ton of safety protocols,โ€ said Burlington, 52, though none of them has been as hotly controversial as not serving people whoโ€™ve been vaccinated against COVID-19.

โ€œIโ€™ve been called a dumb-ass cab driver. โ€˜You donโ€™t know [expletive]!โ€™ โ€˜Youโ€™re not a doctor.โ€™ A lot of them are stunned. A majority say it doesnโ€™t make any sense,โ€ Burlington said about the vaccination policy.

Burlington started the state-certified taxi company 16 years ago. He currently operates with a fleet of three bright pink vehicles.

Whatโ€™s good for a business that is allowed to mandate the shots, is good for a business that doesnโ€™t, he said.

Burlington said the companyโ€™s vaccine policy followed after he heard from customers who knew someone who had an adverse reaction to the injection.

โ€œI have doctors on the inside [who oppose the vaccines] who are fighting for their jobs,โ€ Burlington said. โ€œI saw a general worker at a gas station that Iโ€™ve known for years. She said her co-worker who did the shot got very sick.โ€

Since the company started the vaccine policy, Burlington said his voicemail has been inundatedโ€”mostly from people expressing their support, but also with hate messages and death threats.

โ€œIโ€™ve heard from other business owners that support me 100 percentโ€”especially from Texas. Iโ€™ve never been attacked as I have been now,โ€ Burlington said. โ€œHas this gained me any businessโ€”no!โ€
