Children who aren't depressed by the world yet may not.

We’ve all been physically inactive at some time. Invoke that.

“Doc, I didn’t do a damn thing at work this week; I was physically and mentally inactive. Hit me with that booster stat.”

I am hoping most pharmacies go with something along the lines of “I attest that I meet one of the listed high-risk conditions” They don’t want to be quizzing people 🤷🏻‍♂️

✅ Physical Inactivity

"depression" would probably cover 70% of the country right now. I, for one, would welcome a little Prozac in the water supply.

“How much physical inactivity?”

Weird that hypertension isnt listed. It was one of the first conditions named that made one vulnerable to severe covid

Most of the time goes hand in hand with obesity which is listed

But not always. Therein lies the problem. Thats why this list is complete bullshit, its designed to kill some of us. They could have just let people decide to vax or not like its been for at least 3 yrs now.

I’m going to start smoking

we're all depressed

don't have to, ADHD is on there. i mean, you can, but ugh

you're right it's way too expensive. And also terrible

Most people are "physically inactive" while receiving shots.

Conditions? In this economy?

Honestly though…I think they knew that and were just trying to get a rise out of people earlier because…why have physical inactivity as part of that list…

Worst comes to worst, someone can claim they're a former smoker, whether true or not.

or that they just don't exercise (if you're super buff this might not work)

“Physical inactivity” why is Secretary Quacko personally targeting me. I have briefs to write okay!!!

FDA approves? How about my doctor approves? 🤬

One can imagine how “physical inactivity” might be widespread

Checking off several!

Even if you don’t, all you have to do is pickup a pack of Marlboros on the way to the doctor to prove you are a smoker.

Never thought I'd be *thankful* to have a chronic disease, but here we are...

“Mood disorder” covers a lot of ground here

Gee I'm kinda glad I used to smoke.

Looks like my husband magically just became a former smoker

As I saw someone else point out, the bad news is these will now be used as “pre-existing conditions” to deny people insurance.

Well, no, not unless the ACA is repealed.

I mean, how long?

This is all Americans.

I have acute physical inactivity. I should be good.

Please don’t minimize how debilitating these conditions are. Imagine being paralyzed and unable to move, for example.

Totally.

In other news more people are self-describing as smokers… the reason may shock you. More at 11.

'Depression' Trump's plan all along to get everyone vaccinated. Diabolical

When I hit snooze this morning instead of getting up and exercising before work I had no idea I was protecting myself from Covid (physical inactivity eligibility). Good for me!

Physical inactivity?! Done! In fact, I may overachieve in this area.

So I have to start smoking to get my jab this Fall? More seriously, I'll be 65 in April, does that count?

65 gets them without needing something on the list.

Probably easier to fail the depression screening questions

Nowadays, for certain.

Kinda crazy that one of the ways to get vaccines will be to start smoking. They sure do want to make us healthy.

Wouldnt it be easier to say you're a former smoker and lazy af?

Yes and that is healthier. The games they’re playing are just so stupid when they could just keep the vaccines as is.

Exactly They're trying to kill a bunch of us

I'll take a pack of cigarettes and a covid shot please

diabetes, heart conditions, and obesity capture a great portion of the population right there

Pretty sure under this regime, we all have 'mood disorders'.

BASICALLY SAYS EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS VACCINES THATS WHAT I THOUGHT

My children. So that's worrisome, depending on how "real" our claims of underlying conditions have to be.

Maybe I should take up smoking for a day, then quit so I can qualify for the vaccine. 💡

The problem is the "after talking to your doctor". Do you need a doctors note now to prove you have one of these and get a prescription to get it? Doctors appointment, prescription, pharmacy, hope insurance covers it now. All more complicated, all barriers lowering the number who get it.

insurance is the prob. I couldn’t get MMR despite being old enough not to be vaxed as a kid, because there wasn’t clear advice from CDC for me to rely on. It was entirely my insurance plan that decided. For COVID my condition isn’t listed - have to try quoting rfk that ‘everyone who wants it can’ 😬

I qualify.
