This makes no goddamn sense. You're saying the vaccines will be available to higher risk populations but for some reason us healthy peeps can't get one? Why? If it is ok for people who are the most vulnerable surely it must be safe for everyone else.
It just literally does not make sense on the face of it. What kind of dumbass thinks this is good policy?
For a country all hopped up on Freedom, it's really fucked the government gets to decide what medicine is better for us rather than our fucking doctors.
I'm so fucking done being lorded over by incredibly stupid and unskilled idiots that have more money than shits to give about America.
Yes, well, Trump did such a great job during the Covid Epidemic.
The dumbest, most cruel timeline.
Jokes on them, most Americans aren’t healthy

I guess my immune-compromised ass will be staying at home for the rest of forever.
Viruses often cause health issues later on. Chickenpox can cause shingles, mono can cause a whole fuckton of diseases years later, long covid is common enough for it to not be a conspiracy anymore. This stupid choice is going to create a population with poor health for decades to come

Believe it or not? Placebo controlled trials of tens of thousands of people.
