He also promised to not make decisions as he is not an MD. Liar. Senator Cassidy, still waiting for your reply on this issue since you voted for this jerk.

For seniors: Will Medicare still cover costs of vaxx? Shingles vax is being denied by Medicare. Will Covid vax be covered or only thru individual's healthcare plans if a Dr says it's medically necessary?
Here's the CDC's list of "underlying conditions" associated with higher risk for severe COVID-19 www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/cl...
A doctor said people should claim the exception "physically inactive".
Reminds me of Rep. Kim Schrier (D-Wash.), who is a pediatrician, tearing into RFK a coupla months ago for all his dangerous lies about vaccines. "I will lay all responsibility for every death from a vaccine-preventable illness at your feet." www.huffpost.com/entry/congre...
I have a question for someone with knowledge of medical insurance; has RFK limited the vaccinations that Medicare/Medical/private insurance are required to pay for, and are people who do not have the qualifying conditions able to purchase the vaccine for themselves at full price? Or are they
completely forbidden under any circumstances from receiving the vaccine if they do not have the qualifying conditions?
Labour in the UK has cut 13 million vaccines to clinically vulnerable people. It’s all so worrying this move towards antiscience.
Greetings🙌🏾 and blessings✨ i got connected to you during my prayers and meditation, i had a message that I would want to share. Hit me up in my Dm immediately it’s very important.
Well, I have depression, so that takes care of me, but now I have to figure out how my kid can get the jab.
Covid mandates were ended years ago. Where was this clown?
$20 says he's mad that it's been covered under ACA and is willing to make any old shit up to make that coverage go away.
RFK needs to leave the planet. He is endangering the lives of so many. I can get a Covid shot but not the thousands of students on my campus? Someone please explain.
We literally can’t get them unless a doctor is willing to agree our conditions qualify. And what if we don’t have conditions- we just can’t miss work or caregiving or don’t want to give it to a vulnerable person we live with?
Ohhh that is a valid concern for me. My mom's health has taken a turn for the worse this year and a lot of the care fell on me, being only child and all that. (She gets a ton of professional care too, through Medicaid, nobody tell the current admin please, they might decide to pull it) So, yeah,
I pretty much can't get Covid since I now have to visit her frequently. I'm not above telling my Dr that and letting him write in whatever qualifying condition I can be made to sound like I have.
Jen what are you talking about? Read his list again. He says very clearly, he will not stop anyone from getting a covid shot if they want one. The whole list is correct. The whole world has already done what he is doing. No one is recommending covid shots to healthy people any more.
Absolute bullshit. For example in Australia, we still recommend annual vaccination and are provided them for free www.health.gov.au/our-work/cov...
The WHO From the WHO. Not recommending the shot for healthy people under age 65. Source: www.who.int/emergencies/...
Not quite. From your source, it is only "recommending" the shot for those over age 65 and the vulnerable. You should not be risking the shot if you're healthy under 65. They are saying you can get it if you want, but not recommending it.
Given i have had multiple with no adverse effects, I'll risk it.
I stopped in at the pharmacy where I've been getting vaccinated. I've gotten #Covid shots there almost since the day they became available for my age group. Today for the first time, they didn't have any. They said #flu should be available next week and Covid might be available and to check back.
Placebo controlled trials for a vaccine against a virus that can cause death or severe health impairment is patently unethical. What IRB would approve this? New cancer trmts are compared against the standard of care, not a placebo. Evaluate vaccines for safety & efficacy (accomplished for Covid)
I will volunteer for the placebo controlled trial along with millions of others of us who have never got this shot and never will. I have got lots of vaccines in my life, but would never get a covid shot, insane, haven't you looked at the science?
Go, and I say this with all due respect, fuck yourself.
You realise that in a placebo control trial, you may or may not receive the vaccine? The point is to randomise the groups so you remove as much variability as possible.
Yes, true, the recruiters will know who never had the shot, but the people doing the recruiting do not tell the people doing the study who they are. That's how you do it for a placebo controlled trial.
I really don't think you understand. In a placebo trial, the participant will receive either a placebo or a treatment, unknown to them. The point is to control for the effects of the participant being in the study. You cannot say yoh will never receive the vaccine and then enter the trial.
In a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, *no one* knows who got what. Everything is coded. When the trial is completed, it is analyzed. Occasionally, an interim analysis will show a clear treatment effect and end early, because to deny life-saving treatment is unethical.
From what I can guess, they have confused cohort study with placebo controlled studies.
I think they are confused in general. And that is an understatement.
Yes, but the way described it will work as well, using recruiters. It can be made to work, maybe not perfect but still good, far better than nothing.
and what's the fvcking rationale for this rationing???
There is never rationale, no strategic objectives, key results, nor measurable impact
