For the purposes of vaccination, restaurant workers are classed as ’persons in congregate settings’
“This is a thread of people vowing to boycott my restaurant because my staff and I are vaccinated. I need a sociologist to explain this phenomenon to me,” he wrote.
“If your staff are all vaccinated and anti-vaxxers are boycotting then you're running the safest restaurant on Earth. Put that on a billboard,” wrote one user. Another user wrote: “I honestly don't understand the rhetoric of the people who want to boycott you and your restaurant because of this choice. It's the same with those who want to boycott the unvaxxed. It's really not going to make a difference to them.”
Zachariades said after he tweeted threats came in with some people saying they know where he lives but at the same time there was a flood of support from hundreds of people who told him that they will be supporting the restaurant making it fully booked for this weekend because of the attackers. “If I have to live my life on what I can say or cannot say, it's not worth living. Many people fought for the freedom of free speech. So, if they wanted to boycott the restaurant they could do so,” he said.
