St. Louis taxi company rejecting vaccinated and masked passengers

Charlie Bullington owns Yo Transportation services, a business he started 16 years ago. Recently, he has made it a requirement that
he will only transport passengers who aren’t wearing masks and have not gotten the vaccine.

“We don’t allow any type of masks in our vehicles, the second one is
we are very against the vaccine and don’t allow people in our vehicle that did get the vaccine,” Bullington said.

I understand Missouri is one of the top three states with the lowest vaccination rate, so I am proud of all the Missouri people for standing against this,” Bullington said. Bullington said about three in every 10 passengers choose not to ride with him because of his new policy.

Doctors are once again reminding people of the benefits of the vaccine, and urging they get vaccinated or talk with medical experts if they have questions.

He's also on his way to bankruptcy, a trump specialty.

But of course the corporate media will only say that he passed, not why.

Folks need to wear masks for lots of reasons. My uncle was told to when he was going through chemo.

what a great legacy this owner wants. At least he makes it easy for decent human beings to avoid his company.

his ignorant rules...how is he ever going to determine that (1) folks didn't get vaccinated and (2) in addition, why in the heck is anyone ever going to ride his service if his cabs aren't safe, if one can't guarantee the safety of his passengers?

As a Missourian, I'm embarrassed that such idiots live in MO. Never heard of his service either.

With that said, I wish him luck with his agenda driven business, but if he goes bankrupt I'm sure he will blame liberals an socialists.
