Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.

Who out there wants to die because we have quacks in office?
Each single action by the administration is part of an attack on the US. What's occurring, collectively, is the equivalent of Pearl Harbor or 9/11. The persin living in the White House is not making decisions. Nefarious stakeholders within and outside Our borders are. They're misery profiteers--Mob.

So basically while some this horse shit that bullshit Then it does everything An enemy of America Would do harm if not Kill US ! #47TheEnemyWithin #47HomeGrownTerrorist #47YourActionsBetrayYou #47PresidentialHoaxRealTraitor #47DICTATOR
Maybe I'm a dumbass but the word "indication" was stumping me. A medical indication is a specific sign, symptom or medical condition that justifies use of a particular treatment, drug, test or procedure. I'm concerned for caregivers who can be carriers. How do they protect themselves & others?
and if you wear a mask they'll arrest you... watch. #resist #ice #NoKings #Terrorism #Fascism #immigration #medicade #epstein #gestapo
I am watching, I see no masked 'ICE' being arrested...
What abt uc. Kids can't sign up for classes unless they are vaccinated. Or has that changed
Homeschool them
University???
..."some states are moving to limit the ability of state and educational institutions to require COVID-19 vaccinations in schools, both for students and faculty."
Oh Kim was setting the bar on this one #heritage paid hervwell, #Iowa
Another reason 𝙣𝙤𝙩 to visit a red state. Another reason Canadians should 𝙣𝙤𝙩 come to America …..especially elders to their pilgrimage to Florida.
It's batshit crazy in the US. A fucking nightmare
Honestly, dump your real estate in Florida. Cause a significant issue for DeSatin. Take money from his state purse.
Took care of that 3 years ago...that place is a hell hole and only getting worse.
It was becoming a hell hole in 2010 when I left I gave it two years and that was it. I couldn’t stand the state. I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Sinking under the waves...
Actually saw an article this AM that a majority of Canadians who own places in Florida and other southern states plan on getting the hell out... www.ctvnews.ca/business/rea...
The trouble is that once the Republicans have (1) locked down the dictatorship so there are no free and fair elections at the federal level and (2) beaten down Blue state-level resistance, their intent is to impose Red state policies across the US nationwide.
This might be why you see more Americans visiting Canada just before school starts in the future...
We are being lead by stupid people. The stupidest motherfuckers on this planet.
They’re trying to kill off the herd. They are stupid. But this is their plan
Stupid and dangerous but we have to ask the most important question-WHY? Why is everything being designed to harm Americans including notifying us about natural disasters and impending epidemics.
ICE is stopping firefighters in Washington State to require ID- so sure let everything burn while ICE does its thing.
Let's Make Epidemics Great Again. This is the Trump RFK Jr plan.
Trump, who had COVID, almost died from it were it not for that experimental vaccine, should know better. It of course, it’s better to let Americans die.
Trump has sentenced us all to a plague again. Herd immunity will not be possible even in the best circumstances. This Presidency will be know as the disease presidency. Plagues of all types have already made the news. We are just getting started.
He’s got very close to dying from it, and hasn’t learned a damn thing. He might not be so lucky next time, he’s older and even less healthy.
This is their plan; to cull as many people as possible. Then they can swoop in and own everything for themselves.
Pennies on the dollar they will buy houses and property. Americans will not recover in my lifetime. Generations of poverty will grip America and it's citizens. Our future looks tough and hungry.
One thing about this is that when people begin getting sick, it will affect people all across the political spectrum. Covid and other diseases don't care if you're a democrat, republican, etc. They're equal opportunity.
Primarily the poor and uninsured. Those like myself with other serious health issue will be the ones at the most risk. His last term showed us how many could be killed when it gets out of control. The rich and powerful will get all the shots and full time medical attention. We get the finger!!!
That is true. No Medicaid is part of that. Under any other president anyone could get a vaccine though for free regardless of being insured or not. But now even if you have insurance you'll not be able to get one.
The fortunate are the retired who can stay home away from other people! Mask up people or die!
You know rfk, the 🍊🫏🤡 and their families will get vaccinated. They will let us get sick and die, but they will make sure they get the vaccine.
True. But there are some diseases, like malaria, HIV/AIDS that have no vaccine. They better be careful-won't be able to come out of their "safe bubble/compounds."
What's worse is that these disease carriers will travel internationally and infect others (vaxes are not 100% preventative, and many people can't get some vaxes).
Very true. Other countries should be getting up in arms about RFK Jr as well. Trump has gifted him the power to cause the sickness/death of millions, not just here in the US, but globally.
We are a global economy and global neighbors. The reality is there are no boundaries or safety. The Trump disease presidency will infect the world and could cause millions of deaths again.
Yup. Australia was COVID-free, and what kept bringing it in were planes and intentional quarantine oopsies by our version of Texas, New South Wales, who tried for months to get it embedded in communities so that the pubs would have customers again.
Let's start calling it the "plague presidency". MAGA by itself is a sickness.
Blow it up people!
So basically they’re making COVID vaccines impossible to get because of their ideology we are as a whole to cut our lives short ?
🤬
Why are they trying to kill us? Who will be left for them to rule over?
Remember, donald and his cronies have decided that the right size for the US population is about 100 million. We're about 350 million right now. There aren't a whole lot of ways to get rid of 250 million of us, but putting rfk in charge of the nation's health is a good start.
From European Perspective: 💯 bsky.app/profile/germ...
So now Covid gets a second chance to kill you. Is the plan to clear up some headroom in SSI and Medicare?
Fucking MAGA Fascist Christianity Insanity's Pedo Rapist Felon Trump Protection Racket voted for this...
Great, my booster is due in December. Perhaps somebody will come to their senses by then with a new Covid variant spiking right now.
Who is gonna sue the Fed for thus
This WAS ALL on the BALLOT on NOV 5, 2024! 90 MILLION CHOSE to SIT on the SOFA while 52% White & Latino Women & Men VOTED for a 34 Count Convicted Felonious PEDOPHILE! The FALLOUT to the 92%Black Women & the 78% BLACK Men will be DEVASTATING! For the 48% of White & Latino Voters who Voted, the same!
😡
Federal health workers' rage against RFK Jr. boils over INTO THE PUBLIC AS DOCTORS LEAVEIN DROVES?
What the hell does this mean? I can't go to Walgreens and get my annual COVID-19 and flu shots? I don't know!
Have to be 65. Or, I believe, be in a specific at-risk group.
That's me.
The question is how do you prove you’re in that risk group? Is that outlined? You can’t look at someone and know they one of the indicators. Patient attestation, or only able to be served by your Dr office or where you Rx for medication for condition are filled?
The vaccine provider is Walgreens. They're my pharmacy of choice. They know what's wrong with me, and they know my age. 🤷🏽♂️
I think it may have to come from your doctor. I'm over 65, so it doesn't impact me. Unfortunately, the new guidance doesn't help my wife.
No, you can't unless you're over 65. I've been trying for months. I'm 60 with underlying conditions. My primary care office stopped providing the Covid vaccine as well.
I'm over 65. Thank God for that? 🤣
It will be a herd mentality
How evil and ridiculous. So my daughter, who is young and works at a doctor’s office and whose husband has a neurological disease, won’t be able to get a covid shot. Even a mild form of covid could have devastating results for him.
And doubt insurance will cover it either.
First they came for the OBGYNs. Now they're coming for the pharmacists. And, oh yeah, they gutted Medicaid and funding for mRNA vaccine research. But guns are good. #MAGA are mass murderers.
This is one more sad day in America. Trump is showing his true colors and doesn’t give two shits about the American people. He caused thousands of deaths during the last covid outbreak due to his absolute stupidity and lack of compassion. He needs to be impeached immediately.
Will the pharmacies still carry the vaccine for those of us who get them without a prescription?
And...can insurance companies change their policies anytime they want?
Do it anyway. What’s a lawsuit?
Only those with high risk. What is a high risk and who determines it? Thousands will end up getting a $140 bill later after the get the vaccine because the insurance company determines their health situation doesn't qualify as high risk. Asthma? Nope. Diabetes? Maybe. Cancer? Who knows.
I thought asthma was a qualifier?
They'll want your records from your doctor and then they'll decide if they agree. I have no proof of this, but my evil twin insists that this is probably what will happen.
It is. This was prior to me getting the list.
Senate hearings Now!!!
Just outrageous!
This is insane. He wants to up his body count from COVID first term, stacking SCOTUS to make red states women killers, and ending USAID. Our so-called Christians in this rapidly deteriorating country are really the most illiterate stupidest people imaginable.
Voters were angry about gay Haitian Commie drag queens invading libraries and eating white people's pets, so now we have a brain-worms junkie philanderer with no medical training whatsoever in charge of healthcare for 342 million Americans. Has this country become too stupid to survive?
Yes
This only reinforces the need for immigrants to add new life (and hopefully smarts) to the gene pool
No joke but a lot of these immigrants who were deported LOVE dictatorships. Js
They loved this one too right up to the point of deportation. The crazy among them probably still love him.
Sadly, for a good portion of the country, the answer is yes
If the current CDC list of COVID INCREASED SEVITY risk factors is still in effect, how will “physical inactivity” be defined/proved?
*Severity
It’s diabolical that a non-medical professional and non-scientist (aka a quack) is limiting Americans’ access to preventive care, something that literally saves lives.
Kennedy will be responsible for the increase in deaths from Covid. He is limiting the scope of who can get the Covid shot. This will leave many people unprotected who otherwise would get the Covid vaccine. 🤢
Blame the idiot GOPs in Congress who confirmed him.
Blame it on the republican voters. Morons every one. Plus the stay at homes, the Jill Stein yahoos, and the pompous ass democrats who could not find the impossibly perfect candidate. All of them are to blame for this. They can never be forgiven.
RAPEpublicans: Grifters Oligarchs Pedophiles
Bill Cassidy could have stopped this confirmation. If he said no, others would have followed. He openly stated he had great reservations but confirmed anyways. The loss of life will be squarely on his shoulders.
Especially Senator Bill Cassidy, who’s an MD
We should especially give him an earful and let him know EXACTLY what we think of him and his confirmation vote. He should hear it at work. He should hear it on planes, in restaurants, at the movies, everywhere he goes so there is no doubt in his mind. Then vote him the hell out of office.
I agree. Every time I see an article about rfk jr gutting health care and vaccine services I forward it to him and say, “So much for ‘First, do no harm’”.
Nice!
Or the tv quack, Dr Ozzy
Fuck Bill Cassidy.
Yeah, pretty much
In my own opinion, Senator Bill Cassidy has f*cked up “Do No Harm.” As a fmr Navy Nurse, I would check ALL his orders with staff doctors. Met a few incompetent MD’s in my career. He is one! Thanks Doc! We’ve got lots of HARM now!
I'm convinced he must have been a terrible one.
In his home state of Louisiana he set up a program to deliver vaccines to low income people. He did a lot of good. That’s what is so infuriating about him confirming anti-vaxxer RFK, Jr as HHS Secretary www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
While people can say don't blame Bill because 50 other cowards voted yea I'm 100% blaming Bill. He knew & he let everyone else know that RFK Jr. was a fraud. Despite his knowledge, education & experience he capitulated. Bill is a hack politician & a MD who has failed his profession & the people.
Exactly. His vote as a doctor carried more weight than any of the other senators. He is a coward who knows better.
And a coward because Cassidy would have been the vote to sink RFK JR, but didn’t want to face Drumpf and his cult.
Exactly! This is why I will keep calling him out for the destruction of our healthcare agencies and policies.
Power and prestige override everything. These people have no integrity whatsoever. They have no shame. Ignorant, maybe stupid, voters keep them in office. The rest of us are left to suffer the consequences. It’s very difficult to understand.
I will never forgive Cassidy and I’ll never stop calling him out for confirming rfk, jr. So much for “First, do no harm.” I agree, there are too many ignorant (stupid) people in this country whose votes (non-votes) got us into this mess, despite being warned of the consequences. And here we are.
Getting worse, every day!
I wish we could know who votes and who doesn’t. If you’re not on the list, please shut up about anything and everything
I understand your feelings, but how does that help harness the outrage and votes or marches or continued attention of people who are just now paying attention to the truth? We need to take all genuine comers to the fight against fascism.
Canadian Drugstores still provides that service. My sympathy to those who will not be able to travel out of Country.
That sick fvck is really destroying the legacy of the Kennedy name.
I hate to say it, but there’s already RSV types of colds and coughs & flu rising despite schools beginning for the last 2 weeks in the Midwest , North and East. The fall and winter are not going to be free from the flu or Covid, when Covid was still heavy spring 2025. MAGA makes us sick.
Had to look it up. Vin Gupta is the younger brother of Sanjay Gupta. I must say the Gupta family is really stepping up to the plate for us.
I’ve know Sanjay since freshman year of college. I am so happy he’s staying true to the things we learned at U Mich med school
They need to run CDC!
They’re both quite something — what an impact they’ve made. We’re so lucky to have their wisdom and integrity. #teamgupta
I did not know they were brothers. I do remember Sanjay making a joke that 'the other Dr. Gupta, the one on MSNBC, is better-looking than me'. 😂
x.com/drsanjaygupt...
Hurry! Get Your vaccine now! I'm getting mine today!
OMG!
This Trump administration just put Doctors and pharmacists in the firing line.
great, basically forcing us to get sick because people in this country are too selfish to stay home when they get sick
or because they can't afford to stay home because they have shit wages and no paid vacation.
granted that is true in many cases, so I’ll be more specific, going out to bars while sick, concerts, coffee shops, grocery store, and if it is your only choice for you and your families very survival then take the extra steps not to be a walking germ spreader
Is there a way 4 ind. states 2 disburse the vaccines?Abortion is legal in some states,not in others.The case must be made 4 anyone 2 be allowed 2 cross state lines 2 get one.Some can also go 2 Canada. Mexico?The difficult issue is funding 2 make the vaccines.Will pharmaceutical corps. step up?
This situation has to be fought fiercely, in court, and through other means. It has to be overturned.
These really bad policies are what happens when there is a president who doesn’t know anything appoints people, like RFK Jr, to positions that they are so vastly unqualified to hold. We need scientists and doctors heading these health agencies, not anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists!!!!
We’ve got to raise hell about this. RFK is such a fucking dangerous lunatic.
WTF
Is Gupta really a doctor? Did he get his medical training at Trump U.?
www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/rev...
My practice will prescribe the vaccine to all who need it.
I imagine being a production planner at Pfizer or Moderna must be one hell of a job right now. $Millions could be lost by under or over production. And new tariffs on India will make purchasing a complete nightmare.
My doctor already got her patients vaccinated 2 weeks ago 😘
They want to make life as difficult as possible and if a few 100,000 people die all the better, right moron RFK and DJT? I’m sure though you two are all set!
RFK: The Band is Back Together. bsky.app/profile/opsa... Some have fallen into the trap: "RFK said something sensible a while back; therefore, he must be trustworthy". He did, but he's not.
At my age, I’ll be toast, but my PCP said get certain Vaccines for the next season. My pharmacy has indicated that there has been an interruption in supply.
No interruption where I’m at 🤷🏾♂️
Basically, they're firing into a crowd...a bunch of incompetent, careless, murderers.
MAGA, GOP, and RFK, Jr are just as happy if you get sick (lose work days and maybe a job), make others sick, or just die. Nobody in this Administration gives a tinker's dam if people die, as long as their billionaires get richers.
Let MAGAts get sick! Glad I live in NYC. Woke don't roll like that. Take your stupid red states and let the smart people live their lives.
This is a bad take. You do realize that millions of liberal and independent people live in “red states” too, and don’t have the ability to just leave, right? Oh, and disease ignores lines drawn on a map. We’re still free to travel in this country and all our germs come with us.
There’s also plenty of maga voting trash in blue states who will gladly offer up themselves and their children on the altar of anti-vaccination, endangering those around them while going about their daily business. No one lives in a vacuum.
I have two MAGAt son's who no longer speak to me. They live in butt fuck MAGAt Long Island. They have only MAGAt friends. I am a Liberal "hippie" outcast who lives in the "disgusting," City. They can have their flat earth! I'll gladly take Manhattan any day of the week!
Red States are not being targeted??? Hello??
I’m not sure what your reply even means. You said, “Glad I live in NYC. Woke don't roll like that. Take your stupid red states and let the smart people live their lives.” Millions of us living in red states can’t just up & move to a blue state. Smart people live everywhere, not just in blue states.
If I lived in, i.e. Texas, my bags would have been packed a yr ago. I am in Florida right now, taking care of my 88 & 89 yo InLaws bc Fla can't help much. In NYC, I would have far more services to choose from. I just retired, so I have the time and love to help, but they would die in Florida alone.
Yeah, I hear you. Unfortunately, my husband and I are still working and are more limited in options right now than we would be if we were retired. I’d imagine others in states like ours have it far worse than we do, too. It’s just crappy all around.
Well, IL would be closest for us and it’s where we were born and raised, so definitely a possibility in a few years when my husband is retirement-eligible, if we all make it that long! At least I can work remotely since I’m in IT (I’ve been doing so for years now).
Good thing I kept all my face masks. Sigh
whn.global/yes-we-conti...
So I can’t get a flu or COVID shot because this country thinks any science is devil’s work basically.
This country gets more terrifying every day.
And it’s only been a few months.
🤬
We need lawsuits, folks! Who has standing to shut this down?
I thank goodness daily I don’t live there.
This is insanity.
And well he should not. Covid is no longer a problem. It's over. Why are they still selling vaccines for it? To make a profit, of course. They don't care about people being safe.
Explain that to the people at my parents' senior living facility who just got out of a two-week shutdown as COVID went through the staff and residents. Again. This time, no one died. Last time, a few months back, they lost a few residents.
I literally am sitting here with Covid right now. But sure, go off about how it’s “over”.
It's the firs case I've heard of in about a year. There are no safety regulations in effect at all here; no distancing or self isolation. It's over. Thecommon cold is also a collecton of Corona Viruses, and Covid may have become one of those, but a vaccine isn't going to protect you from a cold.
Maybe this will help you visualize that it’s not over like you think it is. People are still dying. Why would you want to take away the right to be vaccinated? You don’t have to agree with being vaccinated, I really don’t care if you do or not. But let others make their own choice.
It's just so stupid. It doesn't offer protection and it makes the Bill Gateses of this world much wealthier. Leading to enforced chip loading tracking every human being on the planet, until they dedcide they don't need you anymore. rumble.com/v1rcwo4-who-...
Wrong. Tens of thousands died. Hundreds of thousands were hospitalized.
"Died" Past Tense! Did you even read what I wrote?
So last year is not indicator of what happens this year with an infectious disease that’s not treated. Can you read? Do you understand how viruses work?
There were at least 17,289 Covid deaths so far this year: bsky.app/profile/heal...
Exactly.
Blatantly false. California is currently having an uptick.
Do you get a flu shot every year ? You realize is it do constantly mutating making your previous vaccine obsolete.
My last flu shot was about 30 years ago.
Ewwww
Apparently COVID isn’t dead. No one said you had to get the vaccine. We are just asking for the right to get it to protect ourselves.
I never had the vaccine, even at the height of the pandemic. Then they said it was alright to go out again & mingle. I got covid later that year, but it was only Omicron, & nothing more than a bad cold for a day or two. I haven't had anything for the past 2 years & still never taken the vaccine.
I'm so glad *YOU* didn't. One of the greatest men I knew died because one family member didn't care to be vaccinated. She survived (probably bc she is too mean to die) but he did not. He got interstitial pneumonia from it which killed him. From healthy walking 3 miles a day to dead in 5 days. 1/2
He was vaccinated. But every day proximity and exposure to someone for a week who had covid caused him to get it and he was of an age (80) where it was especially dangerous. I'm glad you survived but PLEASE don't argue with those of us who want to be vaccinated and don't say it's not dangerous. 2/2
You got lucky. Thankfully people in the general population received vaccines which lessened the severity of the disease which you then contracted. You might want to thank them.
www.healthline.com/health/what-...
They don’t want anyone to be able to get or access that vaccine or any other. Their end game is death and destruction on all fronts. That’s my honest opinion. When the US has its South Korea moment? I don’t know when or if that will happen
You’re misinformed
That’s false. Covid is not over and it is still a problem. www.cdc.gov/cfa-modeling...

Gupta is a doctor. Why should we listen to him instead of the King of Road Kill and Dead Brain Worms?!!
They're going to kill people with this insane bullshit. I am starting to believe that this is their whole intent. We gotta unite and stop this shitn because no one is coming to save us it is up to all of us!
It's clear this is their intent.
They want a Holocaust. Prove me wrong
“Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.” - Curtis Yarvin, Dark Gothic MAGA prophet
I, too believe it’s their intent!
This is their intent. It’s terrifying.
I have been saying go this for months, it is high time we shut this entire country down!! No tyranny without slaves!! Its time we show them who truly runs this country!
We need Trump, JD, Johnson and any other in the line of succession to be removed. Then a special election to put sane people in charge and get this turned around. Unless they are all removed we will not get far and JD is owned by Thiel.
We don’t have to hurt the general people. We should shut down the assholes. Strategery.
And at the same time the S&P 500 hits a record high. WTF⁉️ My head is 🤯
Most of the people inTrump’s administration have personality disorders, narcissism, psychopathic dark triad behaviors, and addictions. They are extremely dangerous to society. Hitler did the same thing. They enjoy lying, harming others, it’s all a game to them. Wear A Mask going to be a rocky ride
This is unreal.

This is unconscionable.
Out &out murderers “Don’t wait until freedom is gone to regret its loss. Freedom isn’t god-given; it is for by the people.”
God it's exhausting living in a moronacracy. Kennedy with his brain worm and dead bear cub in charge of public health. The pro wrestling woman in charge of education. The puppy killer in Homeland Security. Stephen Miller directing everything else. Can't we just make America America again?
MORONACRACY! Love that! Stealing it. - um I mean borrowing it...😁
Actually I think it oughta be spelled moronocracy. Maybe there's a little moron in me too.
Helping lawyers make more money. Person has Covid vaccine off label & have an adverse effect. Sadly demographics outside the guidelines would benefit. Costs associated with treatment of the disease is going to have to be paid by somebody. Who's that with less coverage? No after thoughts.
So a person who’s a caregiver to an elderly, disabled or sick person can’t get a booster unless they’re 65 or ill themselves? Most aren’t. This is going to be bad.
Just lie and tell the pharmacy that you have a comorbidity. Are they going to ask for a note from your doctor?
Don’t know. Presume an insurance company will though?
Not necessarily, but when I was attempting to book an appointment at Walgreens this morning, I got the following pop-up before completing the process. Needless to say, I’ve already messaged my doctor’s office to see what they can do. I’m in Missouri, so I don’t have much hope.
It’s going to be interesting to learn what doctors are willing to do, can do. And I’m going to presume that the pharmaceutical companies aren’t going to produce as much of the vaccine, given that the qualifying population will be drastically smaller.
Interesting & scary. If this super restrictive rollout stands & doctors can’t fight it, there will be negative impacts for the economy as well, because if we’re not vaxxed, we’re not going to be spending money in indoor spaces during the height of cold, flu & Covid season. I’m sure we’re not alone.
It’s very scary. I’m in NYC and the thought of rampant Covid again is quite disturbing. Everything this regime does is designed to make us feel helpless and hopeless. We need more people in the streets now.
I’m sure that’s extremely scary, thinking back to 2020. I am lucky enough to have a 100% WFH role, but that doesn’t matter since my husband teaches 200+ middle school students every day. If teachers, frontline workers & their families aren’t eligible, we will have another huge wave on our hands.
Even if you pay out of pocket,no insurance involved?Canada and Mexico are also options.Also, if you need dental work or other vaccines, a trip to Thailand wouldnt cost much more even factoring in the travel costs since vaccines & dental work are so much cheaper there. Covid-19 vaccine is around $50.
Right, but I’m thinking about people who are paid as caregivers. They can’t afford to take trips or often take the time off.
The other issue with traveling far to get a vaccine besides time away from home and work is the possibility of catching Covid while traveling, since it’s surging right now. That would defeat the whole purpose of traveling there in the first place.
Agreed! Everyone who can should do whatever they can to get a vaccine. But that’s not enough. We have to get this stupid decision overturned. If we settle for less than that, we’re going to see a lot of seriously ill and dead people this winter.
Yep - for sure. I fear for our country for so many reasons now. The added anxiety that this clusterf*** of an administration is causing so many of this can’t be good for anyone’s overall health, either.
Lest we forget, here’s the outdoor tent “hospital” set up in Central Park April 2020 because there was no room left in hospitals. And a month later, here’s the cadaver truck parked outside the hospital a few blocks from where I live because there was no room left in the morgues for the dead.
Too many people have forgotten how horrible that time was, or they’re just purposely cruel.
I got that message as I was trying to complete scheduling my updated Covid vax, before it even got to the part where you enter insurance details. We live in MO, so it’s pretty far from Mexico or Canada and travel isn’t cheap. It looks like IL might not have the same restriction on the vax, though.
It seems to depend on which state you’re in, or at least that’s what I’m seeing today. We may have options if we move fast.
I’m not worried about myself. I qualify for a vaccine. I am worried about everyone whose survival may depend on being surrounded by a vaccinated population. I really hope many people are able to find ways to get vaccinated. 🤞
Exactly. I worry about everyone who works in public-facing roles, including teachers. People in those types of roles and their families should automatically qualify, regardless of age or underlying health issues (my husband is a teacher).
Unfortunately, Dr. Gupta is hoping Senator Cassidy, also a doctor—- and a Republican, will step up and save the day. Nonsense, he’s a Republican. No Republican will cross Trump, their orange Jesus. God, I hate Trump.

Cassidy isn’t the only MD Republican. There’s also Sen Roger Marshall from KS. Also a do-nothing coward.
Dr. Gupta named Cassidy. All Republicans are in lock step with fascism and Trump.

Well WTF ! Hope all the MAHA WOMEN ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR DECISION TO VOTE FOR THIS REGIME ! All of us who actually care about the health of others as I am will be wearing masks again to protect ourselves from this virus and don’t forget the flu is just as bad. Thank you Dr. for the truth .
How will the pharmacist confirm eligibility due to health conditions? Goodbye HIPAA? 👋
So seniors are an estimated 18% of the US population. Add the 8% that are treating an autoimmune disease. Vaccinating 1/4 of the population (that’s at a 100% rate, which is very unlikely) does nothing but allow these people to get infected over and over again.
This is madness and malpractice. FIRE OR IMPEACH AND REMOVE RFK JR NOW!
I’m in San Francisco and will be whipping out to my pharmacy to get vaccinations before they disappear. Maybe I will manage to stay protected for at least one more year.
Vaccinations: the only code I actually enjoy debugging.
Going to make a guess here that the incidence of long covid in children exceeds the incidence of serious vaccine effects.
The Miraculous Warpspeed Trump Vaccine®, with a record breaking development timeline that has never been seen before????
*the likes of which has never been seen before 😂
Kennedy is trying to ban COVID vaccines via “Rules”.
( ( ( ( ( C R I C K E T S ) ) ) ) )
They are sociopaths… this is sociopathic behavior. They want us to die ! Or let’s skip the diagnostic criteria and just call it what it is. It’s just plain evil !!! Well Beyond fascist, beyond racist, beyond misogynistic Pure evil
For no good reason but for a wing nut conspiracy theorist having the need to make his theories the basis of health regulations. So he and his monster boss can feel important. They are both deranged. We’re cooked unless the senate gets so nervous that they act. Good luck with that 🙄
Hey Canadians, consider Puerto Rico. They could use your money, and they’re not crazy.
Nothing we say will matter unless we can rid ourselves of this corrupt administration.
How many people realize he has no medical education? RFK Jr. graduated from Harvard with a Bachelor of Arts in American history & literature. He then earned his Juris Doctor[law] degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1982 & a Master of Laws from Pace University in 1987. Wikipedia

Thats the whole point with all of the positions. Its to totally crash the entire govt and rebuild it into a Christian Nationalist regime. There isnt a single qualified person in any position. Yarvin, Theil, Vance, Musk want democracy gone.
Grrrrrr where are the doctors? They need to take a stand! What about insurance companies? They want to pay for more customers to be in the hospital? Come on folks we just went through this less than 5 years ago!!!!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬It is one thing not to require people to take it. It is something totally different to not allow people to take it. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Make America Die Again, this is on you RFK,Jr.🤬
This will not end well.
Just waiting for the news from FDA/CDC claiming anti-virals are dangerous and benefits don’t outweigh the risks!
Will people be able to get the booster in Canada or is this something else the police/border/national guard will check?
I’ve been told that’s an option — make an appointment at a Canadian pharmacy for any vaccine.
So many people are going to die because of this.
Apparently not enough Americans died in the Covid pandemic during tRump's first term, so now he's got Bobby Brainworm on board to ensure a second pandemic wave to cull out more of us.
Oh, Drumpf... I am so tired of you.
The right to choose the use of vaccines is much more important.
Could we all sue RFK? Like one at a time? He’s withholding necessary medical care. If he personally were faced with thousands of lawsuits suits, what would happen?
All cases would get dismissed ☹️
Tell the pharmacist you smoked for 20 years but quit. That should be enough of a risk factor.
It's not about health, it's not about safety. It's all about challenging any authority outside the executive branch. This includes doctors, experts, analysts, economists, opposition politicians, historians, judges...anyone that is seen as impinging on absolute authority of the executive.
Gupta: have patients sign a waiver! Problem solved!
JC😤
WE are screwed.
It's a test. To see if the American people will except it and not revolt. The old, the sick and the disabled are the first ones to go in fascist regimes. They don't try to save their lives they try to kill them all off.
He's only starting with the covid vaccine because the right made it political but he won't stop there. And Doctors without Borders doesn't operate in the United States because why would they? This is not a country where people can't get life saving vaccines or is it now?
Last year, I neglected to get my Covid shot. I got Covid and was so sick I thought I was going to die. Not only that, I was sick for over 2 months. I swore I would never forget to get my vaccination again. Now this!!! I'm furious. How can our government prevent us from getting vaccinated?
Have the patient sign a release when getting the jab. Easy peasy.
Canada here - universal health - some things are stupid and fucked but we dont go bankrupt and worry about seeing a doctor - we have a shortage of doctors, however since we foresee a mass exodus from the US that should ease up.
From Alberta here, Canada's Texas. The UCP is trying hard to do the same limitations here. Wish the federal government would step in.
Yeah sorry Bud - your province is kinda fucked right now - measles, separation , trumpers, antivax - oi
It's so fucked right now, hope people pull their heads out.
Do everything you can to warn them. You have people from here trying to be "influencers", and get people brainwashed. They're pulling this garbage in other countries too.
Yup - its scary how dumb people follow dumb people off a cliff
Hope your federal government intercedes … We shouldn’t have to spend the time and money to go to another province or country for essential immunizations.
People seem to forget all the temporary morgues set up last time. We may need more this time.
Need to keep posting morgue/ trailer photos of the dead. With that brain worm RFK must have short term memory problems. Either that or he is just a ghoul!
😡
I thought it was supposed to be our choice. Now our choice is being taken away.
So was wearing a mask.
And we will continue to have many things/frredoms taken away from us. This is still early in the regime.
It’s all harder to notice when it’s one right at a time and if we keep ignoring it we lose ALL rights
Dictators hate people with choices.
If you don't call your legislators, they'll think you're OK with RFK's nonsense. CALL THEM! 202 224 3121 resist.bot/petitions/PQ...
Land of the free…
A bunch of incompetent but ambitious morons are only to happy to kill as many people as possible as long as they can catch TACO’s attention! Nauseating!
Let’s remember that medical licensing is handled at the state level. It is time for states to step up and back physicians who prescribe appropriate vaccinations. It is time for medical organizations to create expert witness panels to defend any physician who gets attacked.
I’M SO MAD ABOUT THIS!
1/ I was raised to nearly worship his father. One of my earliest memories was Bobby's assassination, and I wasn't quite 3 yrs old. But had a toddler's understanding of who he was and that we liked him, and 'he wanted to help all the poor people and black people'..
2/ Now I have to suffer this desecration of his name and memory, from someone who is a literal danger to me. (Disabled, immune compromised, inc. lifelong lung issues. And Mom, who led the worship of Bobby, died of covid during Dump 1.0.)
We have not gotten reinfected with COVID since 2020 because of the vaccine. I damn near died from COVID. I never had pneumonia before until COVID and got double pneumonia.
Anyone who lost someone during earlier surges is dreading what’s to come. I’m one of those people.
The criminalization of health care
So explain how this is different than forced vaccinations? Now we have forced anti-vaccinations! Take them to court!
Thank god I already got my booster.
Indications are not laws. They are recommendations. Please do not cower under the despot's heavy-handed bullying. The country depends on the ethical practice of medicine to protect our health and our lives.
And when recommendations are not supported by the medical literature it is our responsibility to provide the most up to date care. Often recommendations lag because of evolving scientific knowledge. In this case the mismatch is sadly due to devolution of knowledge.
RFK has NO medical expertise; yet he presumes to tell professionals who have spent at the very least 6 years studying their subject before practising as doctors, what/when/how they should prescribe? In the bin, RFK.
They're trying creative ways to improve their economy i.e get rid of the people on Social Sec and Medicaid.
“Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.” - Curtis Yarvin, Dark Gothic MAGA prophet
Just like the Nazis - start with the old, sick, disabled and poor. Both Dump and Wormbrain are eugenicists, just like the Nazis.
You're right.
How about we establish a creative way to get rid of the maga morons causing all of the chaos?
We could skip the creativity and return to the days of yore. I'm up for some good medieval endings for these motherfuckers.
Check out the activity of drawn and quartered. Or pressing? Something long and drawn out. How about stoning? Any more ideas out there.
Just shut the economy down, fuck your jobs. 1 week of not working, buying, or driving. Just watch what would happen ! Watch them squirm like the rats they are!
Handling it 20th century Italian style isn't too bad.
What is that, mafia style?
Absolutely not. He faced the collective rage of the Italian people, and the people had the last word. Use your most trusted historical source, and look it up. I yearn for this type of retribution for the multitude of perpetrators trying to impose Project 2025 on Americans.
Let's go full on Mussolini with Dump, Doge and his cabinet. Stephen Miller has to watch and go last.
1😂
Miller would enjoy THAT!
Not if only 65+ can get Covid immunizations … but all ages on Medicaid.
Murder your way to peace
They are trying to kill us. RFK, Jr. and this corrupt administration is actively trying to kill us...they are an extension of the Kremlin. Musk says we are parasites on the body politic. I maintain they all need to be arrested to answer for their crimes against humanity at The Hague.

Snake oil salesman RFKjr. is trying to limit public access to vaccines for ideological reasons👍
🥵
Which could be why the facility in which I live has currently 30 cases of Covid-19
The poor, old and minority will be disproportionately affected. That is their goal. They waited to respond when COVID first came to the US because it was primarily affecting 'Blue' states. They WANTED us to die. Wealthier people will be able to get the vaccines.
If COVID surges again, we can’t expect help. Leaders are failing, and winter won’t show mercy
Replace Healthcare with lawfare
So I don’t meet the guidelines but get bad respiratory infections. Even with the booster I got Covid but not as bad and only missed a little work. When I’m sick for 6 weeks, is he going to pay my bills? Fucktard.
What about off-label use??
Thnx for the clarification.
This makes me so angry! 😡
📌
Be accountable
I do think Trump & all his so called experts think they are doctors, environmental experts, scientists, money experts, food experts, or maybe their all just in our government to grab our hard earned money through our paying of taxes & just handing them the keys to their lawlessness & chaos!
He wants to kill is all
Something told me that I should have gotten a booster this past weekend.
Time to circle back and get it soon.
This is just unbelievable anyone that wants a covid vaccine should be able to get one 🤬
What is happening to our country? Why what reason to hold back vaccinations if wanted? This is just nuts or morbid
"Dear Americans, Please die faster and in greater quantities." -RFK Jr
My God, what is RFK doing to our Country? People will die! But that's the point. Where's Big Pharma? You think they would have a thing or two to say!
Whenever talking heads say "Big..." My automatic response in my brain is "...Scapegoat?" As in "You're telling me 'Big Scapegoat' is responsible for something as a deflection tactic, but for what?" They're dreadfully uncreative and often scare the children with fairytales of boogeymen for control
This brings out my deepest anger and all the swear words that I learned from my dad's Army and Navy WW2 friends. This is just heinous. And FUBAR. And totally the standard tRump fiasco, hence SNAFU.
This is terrifying. I am so outraged.
So they're hoping that if we can't vaccinate against it another wave of COVID will take us out.
He needs to be gone. RFK Jr is completely unqualified for his position and Congress was derelict in their duty when they confirmed him. The US has always been respected and looked to for our expertise in scientific research, particularly in medicine. He is destroying our standing with the world.
Motherfucker will kill us all.
hey i just thought of something- FCK kennedy !!!!! “Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications”
Confirmed with the pharmacist at my hospital who boosted me the day before RFK Jr put this bullshit in place … Good lord this is really and truly the upside down 🙃
This change in Covid vaccination recommendations is going to result in many useless cases of Covid AND with every new case of Covid there is the possibility of mutations or long Covid! Vaccination prevents LONG COVID!!!!
Vaccination REDUCES risk, but does not entirely prevent long Covid. Vaccinate and mask. Listen to long Covid researcher Dr. Ziyad Al -Aly: youtu.be/M4Nzhpeu2Y8?...
Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly earns recognition for Long COVID research news.va.gov/132887/dr-zi...
whn.global/yes-we-conti...
Fuck RFK Jr and whoever follows that eugenicist bent on killing those those he considers inferior. He's a fucking madman and no one in their right mind should follow him. Stand up and disobey him to his bitter end which can't come soon enough.
📌
He destroying government health services because dictators need the population poor and sick so they have to rely on their dictator more.
This is so infuriating. All the “freedom” people have made it impossible for anyone who wants to protect themselves from actually doing so. The out of control conspiracy theorists are taking over.
I am 80. I plan to try to get Medicare/Tricare for Life flu and COVID shots today. We'll see how that goes.
I'm Medicare/Tricare for Life also. Please let us know how it goes.
I will definitely post it. I leave in about 30 minutes.
Went to my local CVS. I got the updated flu shot. Medicare and TFL paid for it. They didn't have the new COVID shot but they said Medicare and Tricare for Life will cover it when it does come in. So everything worked out for this 80 year old man😀.
Glad it worked out for ya and thanks for the info. Age-wise don't turn around and look, I'm right behind you. 😀
😀😀😘 Then you've already lived a long life. Good for you!
How many pharmacists can eyeball someone and say whether their BMI is 30, or less?
What happened to “make your own decisions “?
He. is. killing. us. 🧢
What are we doing? Kinda seems like premeditated murder.
If a doctor refuses to prescribe a COVID booster and the patient then dies of COVID, doesn't he/she open themselves up to a lawsuit?
ah yes, elections. how quaint
Pedo 47 and JFK Jr plan is to kill millions of us through diseases. That was his plan in his first failed term when Covid 19 came to our shores. Now he’s back to finish the job. FDJT!
It's so damn far-reaching, malevolent, and malicious. Kennedy must go! He's a threat to our health and cannot be tolerated.
So does this mean that I can’t get a Covid booster shot before we get into flu and winter season?
Like they will come after you. Oh you're brown skinned. Well, you're fucked. Sorry bud.
The least they could do is make cigarettes two dollars a pack again so that all the poor people can buy them and smoke themselves to death.
If antivax clowns are free to not get vaccinated, why are the rest of us not free to get vaccinated if we want? Oh, I forgot. That's how dictatorships work.
Then it's time for states to implement overriding policies, as well as our own manufacturing and supply chains. The zombie remnant of the old slavers' republic will stop at nothing to kill us all.
This is criminal malfeasance by Kennedy and his cruel orange overlord.
RFK Jr should never have been confirmed,&is not even remotely qualified for the position he holds at HHS.He’s going to cause a lot of unnecessary suffering by making vaccines harder to get. As a retired clinical pharmacist of 30 yr,I condemn the new very restricted guidelines suggested.
I guess they just want to kill us all. Covid doesn't know who is maga or who isn't. Then again they don't care about their base. They are in power now and to hell with the base as they intend to stay in power.
The Trump administration wants Democrats to die so that we won't vote. Doesn't matter to them that they may kill their own voters as well. This is one sick-as-fuck group of people and hardline MAGA are cheering them on!! It's like a mass hysteria equivalent to drinking Jim Jones kool-aid smiling!!!
Fire the so called Health Secretary. Problem solved. Ps. Don’t stop there.
I was turned away at the pharmacy TODAY. I’m 54. Work in kids mental health. We are all Fukked
😢
The pharmacist at our local hospital who gave us Covid boosters right before RFK Jr immolated everything said he wouldn’t be able to administer outside the guidelines (“off label” under 65 or immunocompromised) but our physician likely can. Cardiac, COPD, patients etc need respiratory vaccinations!
He needs to read the full list of conditions. It expressly includes COPD.
www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
There are some key differences between these countries and the U.S. 1. Most also allow caregivers, health care workers, and household members to be vaccinated. 2. These countries have more protection for workers. Employers in the U.S. can not only deny PAID sick time but force workers to come in
I didn't post that to make any kind of point. It shows up automatically when you post the link to the paper.
Huh *pokes at it*. People HAVE been saying that it just brings us in line with other countries, but the U.S. has specific issues. And while it is entirely possible that I don't really need another COVID shot, I want to give an extra layer of protection to my high risk friends.
By the way- anything Pink Tweets puts out there is authentic and interesting. 💕Super smart individual.
You just knocked me off my feet! What an incredibly wonderful compliment. I do try very, very hard to find solid, high-quality sources and I always verify everything I post. Thank you so much, Sarah.
It’s true!!! 👍
Totally- I guess I’m masking to see my family this Thanksgiving
It sounds a lot like "original covid" with the addition of "razor blade throat." No thanks! Not to mention the possibility of developing long covid. At my age, I need to not lose time to something like that. I am already struggling due to MS.
I would imagine you should be able to get the shot. MS is definitely something a doctor could say is "another condition or situation that increases your risk of severe COVID" The one time I know I got COVID for sure I sniffled for 48 hours then gave it to my entire family for Christmas (all vaxxed,
anyway or get fired. The latter makes universal vaccination important in the U.S. You're much more likely to be exposed by somebody who is working while sick because the alternative is homelessness. I've been that person.
Painfully aware of these differences sadly. ❤️🩹
💯 Yep- my cardiologist is my next stop. Terrifying for our healthcare workers and the entire system once the next surge hits.
So many Americans, even with insurance, don’t have access to a PCP.
I WANT MY FCKN COVID BOOSTER.
Go get it tomorrow at your local CVS
Thx, but have been checking weekly. No CVS in my region has the updated booster yet. Hoping the CDC mess -- which baby-bear-head-snatcher-ecoli-brainworm-shaky-voice-"man" -- doesn't succeed in stopping the new covid booster, reportedly due out in Sept.
It is time for #Canadian & #Cuban #MedicalTourism to support #COVID #jabbing
This is the price people pay when voting for a madman that has never shown any real concern for the vulnerable.
Noo shit ! The CDC does what they are told. Who thinks they are actually acting in the best interest of, the American people ? They are a federal entity. The pharmaceutical companies have the agency in their pocket.
