I rarely read the details of news any more.
So cursory headline-ing says that the RFK and others in the "anti vax" tribe have decided no shots. It seems they'll allow it for older people, and people with certain conditions.
So in a sick way - lol - maybe for once having a condition that I do (digestive autoimmune) + asthma for Wifey....we'll be allowed to get shots.
Sadly that might leave out kids.
Anyone know -- does 'no shots' simply mean that Uncle Sam or HMO's don't have to discount it or pay for it?
Is an American adult allowed to still walk into the usual clinic and say "gimme a Covid shot"---and just pay the freight out of pocket?
I don't like government forcing me to DO something, and I don't appreciate government having power over me to NOT get this shot either.
I swear if it was Michelle Obama doing this, or the dumb ass messing with soda and junk food stuff----the Right would've been going crazy ---and we rightfully did. but now it's our caste in charge so somehow we're good with all this.
Ugh, the third world tribalism I warned of and mostly laugh about seems to be affecting me on this isolated issue.
We got ever Covid/Flu shot each year. I did measles also. If people want to skip the shots - cool - they're business. IF people want to skip the shots ---- and it doesn't work out - -ok, some Red-leaning Welfare Queens that probably aren't helping society much at all are out of the picture - works for me too.
See I can find silver linings.

This won’t be the end of it, Jedi. This administration really IS using the rest of us to accomplish their own misbegotten goal of creating a society that bears no resemblance to the America we’ve known, the framers envisioned, or the law allows.
I’ve wondered the same question you ask about vaccines. A cursory search of the internet yields fuzzy answers.
But this morning, I had the germ of a bright idea, and will follow up on it in the next few days. I encourage you to do the same, and that bright idea is this…..
You know WHO will most certainly have that answer? Or at the least, will be able to tell you WHEN we will have clarity on the issue?
Your local pharmacist. Not necessarily the guy who stands benind the counter of a chain store and simply follows corporate directives, but the guy who owns his own store and has a vested interest in wading through the miasma of federal regs and insurance claims.
THAT guy or gal. There are still a few around and are worth supporting, even if they are getting to be rare as hen’s teeth.
My local pharmacist has two signs above the counter:
“Unattended children will be taught to swear” and,
“Due to the high cost of ammunition, thieves are hereby warned that there will be no warning shot”.
