That would be incredibly dumb of the landlord. Money is money is money. Discriminating on anything other than ability to pay rent and credit risk is just bad business.
Not at all stupid. A landlord will assess the risk of a tenant. There is now a new risk in the equation.

Wrong. When are people going to realize this is wrong. More evidence everyday that vaccinated people spread as much as Unvaccinated. Probably more when they are told to go about their business. Quit falling for and adding to making this a political issue. The leftist media has convinced you only conservatives are not vaccinated and therefore you are taking this stand because you are against conservatives. Liberals are living in an echo chamber on this. National Geographic is one voice out there telling the truth.
“More than 3,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts tested positive for the coronavirus last week, a daily average of nearly 450 people in the Bay State as breakthrough infections keep rising amid the delta variant.”
One thing for certain, NYC's one size fits all __ No Vax, No Service __ is not only absurd, but destructive to the general welfare of the community.

It seems quite clear the poster has no idea of the consequences which can occur if an owner rents to the wrong person.
Aside from that NYC's one size fits all __ No Vax, No Service __ is not only absurd, but destructive to the general welfare of the community.
Vaccinated people are much less likely to spread the infection.
And those who have had covid and beat it, and now have antibodies and natural immunity are much less likely to spread the infection. Of course, we are now finding out fully vaccinated are spreading the virus.
So, this indicates New York City's one size fits all No Vax, No Service is absurd and does very little, if anything, to protect the general welfare of the people.
Finally, the overall survival rate of those who do get covid have a better than 99% survival rate.
"Most people who get COVID-19 will survive. Of roughly 35.2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States, around 614,300 people, or 1.7%, have died, according to Johns Hopkins University’s mortality data as of Aug 6."
.
The new analysis relies on the database of Maccabi Healthcare Services, which enrols about 2.5 million Israelis. The study, led by Tal Patalon and Sivan Gazit at KSM, the system’s research and innovation arm, found in two analyses that people who were vaccinated in January and February were, in June, July, and the first half of August, six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with the coronavirus.
The information at the link goes on to point out that in one analysis, comparing more than 32,000 people in the health system, "the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated, and the risk of hospitalization was eight times higher."
This, of course, confirms that NYC's one size fits all __ No Vax, No Service __ is not only absurd, but ignores the science, and actually encourages the fully vaccinated, who are symptom free and can transmit the virus, to enjoy public accommodations and freely spread the virus.
