Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
PS: I’m speculating here.
You're not wrong - I would under NO circumstances put "past smoker" to try to get the vaccine, as it will definitely bite you when you're going in for Life Insurance or Long Term Care insurance.
The odds don't seem that crazy.
for many of us at least one of these conditions is already part of our medical history, so claiming it makes no difference as it is already written into the medical record.
I had the same exact thought when I saw the list. There's also a malicious, ulterior motive to identifying people who are "undesirable" in the eyes of mentally deranged RFK Jr.
Speculating, maybe, but it’s not a long stretch.
He is a true believer in his own philosophy, and normally ask if he holds any health insurer stocks because that would be normal in this administration, but somehow he has a Trump narcissistic personality, and this is his truth. That's why his family can't put a bridle on him for the good of all.
It is an entirely reasonable speculation.
I would say informed speculation. For myself I'm going with physical inactivity. No idea how you prove that though. Saying I'm too lazy to exercise (totally true)?
Physical inactivity will cover a large portion of Americans.
Just adding more angst to everyday doom scrolling. Got it, Thanks
Absolutely! they are just waiting to be able to crank premiums for pre-existing conditions again, just like they used to before the Affordable Care Act!
Sounds consistent with their behavior so far, to me.
Don’t ever over estimate them.
Or under
I am completely over them…
Insurance companies? You just know they will.
Is that even allowed on BlueSky?
I think that's a fair concern, but also I think insurance companies would rather pay for 1000 people to get the vaccine than for one of them to have 30 days in hospital.
Not far fetched at all
But if can generate money for already ungodly rich….they’ll do it
Safe bet.
I have a profoundly disabled son, 42yrs old, CP quad, etc. And has been unable to get a shot for years because he wasn’t considered immunity compromised. In other words he wasn’t sick, just crippled. Now he can get a shot because he’s disabled. I see this as a +. Why not, if you want it, get it?
And you had to show proof earlier, too.
My wife worked in appeals for a minute with two of the three largest health insurance companies. One of them would brazenly deny care in direct contradiction with their own criteria. I wouldn't bet against your speculation.
Of course. People so don’t understand all of what the ACA does/did/was supposed to do.
That’s an excellent speculation, though.
I’m pretty sure my insurer already knows about my asthma. That’s why I was able to get an early vaccine in 2021.
Yeah, my insurer already knows about my asthma and cancer history.
Not wrong on that.
It is not like my medical records don't already state my mental illness and asthma. I still want someone to define what "physical inactivity" means - that one could be targeted. They already up cost of health insurance at my work for smokers.
I started working out, gained 30 pounds of lean mass in 3 years, and as a result my medical record got tagged with "obesity." Might as well use that to get vaxxed, it's already there...
Spectacular speculating
Yes you are. Not helpful. Physically inactivity is not a medical diagnosis and describes most Americans. Plse stop fear mongering and check your Signal.
You're probably right.
I'm certain there will be weaselly executives at the health insurers who will propose just that.
I hate to be all conspiracy theorist here, but...when Bobby Brain Worm finally comes for our medical records, won't it be handy for him to be able to see who claimed what conditions? And if they're looking for COVID vaccines, won't they most likely be liberals? Convenient, is all I'm saying.
I understand, this regime is making us all feel that way.
I think you are spot on
I am so furious!! I am told by my pharmacy that I am now ineligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. I am not yet 65, but I am the caregiver to a veteran spouse with early onset Alzheimer's. I can't get sick! I want to protect myself and my ailing spouse. 🤬
So I quit taking Wegovy (BCBS won't pay for it) just in time, otherwise my BMI would be too low.
So, you need more spike protein?
As of at least last June you need not document or disclose a specific condition to the pharmacist. Self declare, and hold your ground. Perhaps just start w “in shared clinical decision making, my doctor advised I get the vaccine.” Disclose nothing else. Uncomfortable but can work.
It tracks.
Umm this makes me very worried.
I think you are on 🎯
If you have one or more of these conditions, your health insurance already knows bec it’s n your medical record.
Makes sense. I'm a former smokers my 50's so maybe they'll let me have one. If my GP has anything to say, I'll get the booster if I want.
Serious question here. Is going to Canada or Mexico for a covid vaccine an option?
That’s what I will do.
www.ontario.ca/vaccine-loca...
Elbows up!
We are talking about going to Canada.
Avoid it here in Alberta, our own dear leader is nuts too.
I'd say you are spot on. Given where you're at!
It was my first thought as well.
You could be right, but I guess for those of us who legit DO have a pre existing condition (diabetes, for me), that bell was rung long ago anyway. 🤷
I would not be surprised at all, if your speculation is true. Ant way they can stick it to USa is hunky dory to them!
You are correct. Once they do away with the ACA protections, it will be the wild west again for healthcare coverage...medical underwriting & inability to even get coverage if you have a pre-existing conditions (a/k/a medical history in other countries).
Yes, you’re speculating, but I wouldn’t put it past them.
I think you are 💯 correct
Which preconditions does #Trump have? @democrats.org #maga.
If preexisting conditions come back we’re all cooked. I was put in the highest risk pool in my early 30s-totally healthy but prescribed sleeping pills for occasional insomnia ONCE. Huge premium & all mental health meds/treatment excluded. Only recourse was not to be diagnosed with anything for 3 yrs
"smoking: current and former" lol easy
I think it goes hand in hand with wanting people to use wearables. Any way to deny and/or profit off someone.
Yeah but never say never
It’s safe speculation. They will absolutely do it.
Yeah, but speculating in the sense that I’m speculating if I hear thunder, see lightning, and speculate that it’s gonna rain. The GOP is a death cult and it’s signing us all up.
It’s a reasonable speculation when he’s doing all but screaming for a eugenics comeback.
I'm going to die from something someday, but I'm damn well not going to die from COVID as long as there's a vaccine for it. They're #UnAmerican #UnChristian #ScienceDeniers
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Fuck RFK Jr. and fuck every single GOP senator who voted to confirm a twisted former heroin user to oversee our health issues. His father and uncle are rolling in their graves.
Waiting for Canada and Mexico to start advertising vaccine tourism to U.S. citizens.
My thoughts are that vaccines may not always be affordable in the U.S. or now even accessible; but foreigners traveling in and paying out of pocket could be an interesting economic boon for Canada and Mexico.
Alberta has put a price of $100 on a Covid shot for its own citizens, so be prepared to pay a lot more if this becomes possible. And sadly, I don't think most Canadians would support assistance to Americans, thanks to your moron-in-chief and his tariffs.
You may find it difficult to get a vax at a pharmacy, where the cost is covered by the provincial health plan and so proof of residence may be required. But city public health clinics are generally come-one-come-all, no charge. They might *ask* for a health card # but don't officially require it.
And yes, Alberta is kinda following the US lead. Try a city in a different province.
Footnote buried on page 10,836: *Proof may be used for 'involuntary euthanasia' to reduce the medicare burden on the rich.
They "reformulated" the vaccine, right?
Seems like the # of self-claimed smokers is about to skyrocket. And suspiciously, not the product sales to back it up.
Without correcting the hundreds of conditions he missed, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out how interesting it is that he has placed mental illnesses on there, to include depression. Be very careful people, they are keeping lists of undesirables! This list is trash.
I’m pretty sure “physical inactivity” is a common finding here in the US. Probably with regional variations, but still
Life is a preexisting condition.
I was thinking the same thing. This will be weaponized in some way to punish you for getting the vaccine.
Yo Mark Cuban!!! Get the damn vaccines and sell them at your pharmacy!!!👊🏻
How does one prove physical inactivity? Point to the spare tire around our middle? :)
Wait now, wasn’t Trump the “No pre-existing conditions” guy? 🤔 He better not start that 💩!
Haha you have to show *proof* of physical inactivity? Do you want me to take off my clothes? 🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering this as well. 🤣
Want proof of my breast cancer? Hold my shirt… 😂
Can we just pay for the shot without answering any of that?
I was wondering that same thing!!
I'm not interested in getting it right now. I want the latest mutation version...somewhere around November. I believe that the vaccine saved my life. If that's what I believe, then I should be able live my life like it did. I shouldn't have a nut job telling me that I don't need it.
The vaccine is so bad for people that we want only the sickest of the sick to get it.
Anyone with these cats nditions are screwed anyway. I'm paying too god-damned much for health coverage as it is. Give me the friggin vaccine.
RFK jr is going to be remembered as a killer of Americans on American soil without an AR assist.
RFK, Jr. has a severe “mental health condition” He must be fired!
Would that be fired from a cannon or at the stake? Asking for a friend.😈
EXACTLY
Literally diabolical.
Yep
I’m sure. Even so, I never thought I’d cheer the fact I used to smoke ciggies.
It's as if there are vast armies of viruses and diseases just waiting to take over our whole country, make us ill, and kill us off. The person in charge of national health defense, meanwhile, has unilaterally decided to disarm, to throw away our defenses, and allow us to suffer and die. Madness!
Looks like that covers everybody
#BOOST
I would like to point out that pregnancy was considered a PREEXISTING CONDITION prior to the ACA! So yes, I can completely imagine this.
📌
Or, A goon squad will come 'escort' you to a 'health camp' to cure your 'physically inactive lifestyle' or your mental health issues (Bob K has already said this was his plan). The armed 'orderlies' will drag you to a field to harvest crops for your own good- or else.
If the mRNA COVID vaccine is so “dangerous”, then why allow its use for those most medically vulnerable already? RFK Jr, a “former” 15 year heroin addict and anti-vax conspiracy nut-job, has no qualified right to be deciding the nation’s health.
Except for the freakishly healthy, anybody over the age of 50 will be on that list. Insurance companies aren't stupid nor, apparently, restrained. And they're likely using AI to squeeze the last drops of blood. They will force us to resort to anarchy. And the Wingnuts get what they've always wanted
Sure, if you're privileged enough to be able to take time off work and can afford to take your family on a trip to another country. This "solution" is a joke for a huge proportion of Americans.
What if my religion requires the latest vaccine?
Soooo many Americans will qualify just by virtue of the fact that they are OBESE or have diabetes. That’s likely 50% of the population.
Never trust private health insurance companies. Never.
My obesity is pretty evident, so . .
Same. For once, good news? 🤷🏻♀️
Lol we showed them?
Yep
Depression? So all of us 😔
At least the non maga crowd.
What about false / ‘worried well’ ? Will claiming in exaggeration or even falsity lead to fraud charges? Will the well off simply be able to buy one privately? I commend to you the memory of Aneurin "Nye" Bevan.
Exactly
This may sound dismal but I have three qualifying conditions. I am so tired at this point I'm not even sure that I want to continue treatment. I feel crummy all the time and research was dropped on one of my conditions. No cure, no treatments.
I can’t believe that adults are not being “allowed” to get a Covid shot if they want one. They are fucking with our health and our lives.
Yet the moaned about people not giving them the choice to remain unvaccinated (which they had the choice). It’s hypocrisy
My question is will they not let us get one or can we pay for it ourselves. My insurance makes vaccinations free but if insurance won’t cover it can I pay for it. Online somewhere it said cost is $40. I bet all our politicians will be able to get the Covid shot if they want.
I don’t know. I’m hoping that I can still get one and I’m happy to pay for it myself.
That’s the one piece of the ACA I expect *might* survive.
I have had 5 vaccines for covid and zero problems. Also I did not get covid and die
If you have any pre-existing conditions, it’s already documented in your medical charts and your insurance is already aware. Diagnosis codes are submitted on claims to insurance along with procedure codes.
Everyone start smoking….smh😒
I said that exact same thing yesterday.
Not sure I understand this. Why can’t I get the vaccine if it is available? How is this freedom?
Let’s all start fucking smoking I guess.
Hmmm. These sound like pre-existing conditions for a LOT of dangerous ailments, not just COVID 19.
Medications should be enough to prove most of those conditions. Inactivity, I guess you ask the pharmacist to get the payment out of your pocket.
Obesity with a BMI over 30 will qualify a lot of Americans. Sigh, even me.😏
Great insight. Never thought of that, but we are certainly headed back to the days where pre-existings aren't covered, and insurance is only for the rich.
I give it two years max until we lose ALL the protections of the ACA. Preexisting conditions, lifetime caps on coverage, it's all coming back.
As the GOP chip away at the Affordable Care Act, protections provided for pre-existing conditions and preventative care services will disappear. No more free mammograms, pap smears, colonoscopies or vaccines. Please call your Congressman and Senators.
Fuck. I have renal cell carcinoma. Surgery in 12 days. I will be watched for the rest of my life. I have very expensive private BCBS insurance, and im 63. Im self employed. I am scared. I hate these people with every fiber of my being
I am an oncology nurse. As if it isn’t enough you have to worry about cancer-but not your insurance and any social safety net. I am struggling to not hate those who voted for him as well-
May your surgical team be swift and steady. Your Nursing team and aftercare be compassionate and comprehensive. May you heal quickly and most importantly #FUCKCancer
May the surgery be successful and the cancer go in and stay in remission.
Thank you
Sending positivity. May your surgery and treatment kick cancer’s ass. 💙
Best of luck for a successful surgery and recovery. I hate them too.
My heart goes out to you - so sorry you have to suffer this nonsense on top of it all
Good luck! Hope your surgery is successful. And I hate those people as well. edited-
Thank you
You're very welcome! Please hang in there. I'll be thinking of you.
📌
For those of you under twenty-five or thirty, so never heard the term ‘pre-existing condition,’ thanks to #Democrats under #Obama eliminating the concept for ALL health insurance as part of the Affordable Care Act, look it up. NO #Republican votes to eliminate it. They’re owned by the insurers.
They think they are the gatekeepers…no knowledge bigots
But your health insurance would already know about most of these as the vast majority are serious enough to warrant medical treatment and/or medications for them.
Seriously. Physical inactivity is on the list. WTH?!
Well, I'm first in line for the killer vaccine. Perhaps the plan is to kill off non healthy people.
I called Cassidy‘s office, my local reps & other key reps suggesting an interim plan to quickly get vaccines to appropriate pts who want them & bypass overly limited restrictions. 1) revert to 2024 guidelines/recommendations for C19 vax 2) allow “off-label” C19 vax by Rx w/o penalties & liability.
Covid is going to have a big year. We should have a betting pool on how many will die.
I guess today will be my first time smoking a cigarette and I will quit the next day and call myself a former smoker to qualify for a vaccine I choose to take.
So, we're giving a free pass to people who choose to risk their lives by smoking. Sure, why not.
Guess I’ll just have to start smoking. That’s unfortunate.😂
What about auto immunity diseases like RA, Lupus etc?? That was one of the main diseases to cover!!
“Physical Inactivity”? That’s a condition now? How is THAT defined?
That has happened already. When I retired I tried to get a UHC medi-gap policy but found it would be over $340 a month due my history of asthma. Why I have a Medicare advantage plan. Can’t wait to see what happens to my premiums
You know what? I'm in Canada and I'm gonna take my next shot next week. Free.
Unbelievable!!! This is totally unacceptable. They can kick you out of your Medicare?
or, darker still with this administration...to send you to a 'camp' for undesirables
Smokers?!?!??? Smokers can get the vaccine but not non-smokers. This is fucking insane. The dumbest, most incompetently dangerous administration in history.
I recall when smokers were on the list to get early access to the vaccine. I wonder if they just recycled the same list. 🤔
Trump Virus, COVID-19 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeuH...
When you boil it down to the bones it's this: They clearly believe they already have more slaves than they will ever need.
Well asthma is already in my chart so I might as well get the shot anyways
Oh abso-fucking-lutely! They ALREADY do this!
Share this far and wide. Insurance companies will use this and they will deny coverage.
Can’t they just do a visual check on me for obesity?
And what is considered proof pray tell?
Exactly
The CDC's vaccine website is down - www.vaccines.gov/en/
Well at this point they can't kick you off of Medicare. There's that.
They are working on ending Medicare as well.
They are on a path to burn everything down.
Healthy people get vaccines to avoid spreading the virus any further than need be. This is dumb. Or this is insidious. No third option.
I think we would all qualify under mental health conditions at this point.
I hate this man with the fire of 1000 burning suns and I know this is the "wrong" attitude but I hate every Democrat who sat on their asses for 10 years and let this happen. But STILL in Washington they're being led by the do nothing's instead of the fighters. How have they not changed leadership?
I have had asthma my entire life and it is well documented in my health records so I don’t have much choice. Even with my asthma condition I have found it extremely difficult to get my last 2 covid booster shots! My grown children also have asthma and were told they couldn’t get a vaccine
Since I’m already being treated for a couple of these conditions, I’m afraid that ship has sailed!
If you have documented history of any of these wouldn’t insurance companies have it anyway when they pull the pre-existing condition BS card? If so, you might as well claim it and get the vaccine.
they'll certainly claim that if you seld-attest wrt eligibility then you will be guilty of insurance fraud (!) :(
Physical inactivity lol that’s a good one for a pre-existing condition
RFK: Don't take Medical Advice from me. 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.
I know I sound like "Chicken Little" at this point, but I firmly believe this is all diabolically calculated It's eugenics
That was my first thought as well. They only want the undesirable getting this shot. I don't trust any of those companies to not capitulate to this regime either. Everyone else has. Between that and the mass resignations, I'll be passing. I'll be hermiting for the foreseeable future.
Physical inactivity???!!! 🤯🤯🤯
I had a stem cell transplant 10 years ago which I’ve been public about it so they already know I have many pre existing conditions from that and the treatment for my leukemia-chemo damages a lot of your insides. I’ll be uninsurable if the ACA guarantees are eliminated. They don’t care about my life
Solution: we all just need to drink heavily then we can get the vaccine. Yay, don’t die of Covid, but die of liver disease. Brilliant
"Physical inactivity". Well, if that's what it takes...
“Physical Inactivity” means all the fatasses in the Red states are good to go for the COVID vaccine but Colorado and Vermont are fucked.
yeah i think it’s a way for eugenists to hoard info about people for nefarious ends. i mean they already know im autistic but do i wanna put it on another list? probably not.
But truly, most of these things your ins already knows abt
I'm Pollyanna's negative twin, albeit well prepared & immunized. Hopefully by the time I need it again, something will have changed.
Fucking savages.
🎯Also claiming that is the reason for dying, not COVID.
🤬
Or worse. I wouldn't doubt if there's a master plan to eliminate the weak, sick, disabled and mentally ill.
Probably.
Someone figure out how to get this man out of office. He has no medical, no scientific knowledge to make these decisions.
I get it now. He's working in tandem with Oz to rape and pillage and make insurance companies wealthier.
Exactly right!
But they already know I have asthma?
Physical inactivity? Former smoker? I work in an office and was young in the 90s, so I'm a shoo-in! Lol
Previously no proof of high risk was required. Practically speaking how is the pharmacist going to receive your medical record? They don’t have access to it. They don’t have time to deal with gathering records. More likely pharmacies will just stop giving vaccines. Which is what the lunatics want
📌
And I believe the insurance companies will stop reimbursing... Little by little, they are taking away our rights
Stop talking nonsense and disinformation, they will use that anyway
Things are deliberately made so damn complicated. From health insurance to car rental to tax filings. Exhausting!
insurance companies do it already when you have a preexisting condition.
No, they don’t. That is one of the beauties of the Affordable Care Act.
Unless you are enrolled in a plan that started before 2010 (before ACA), you have a “grandfathered plan”. These plans can cancel your coverage or can charge you higher rates due to a pre-existing condition.
How long before we get a black market?
I thought preexisting conditions were no longer a thing, regarding insurance coverage.
It isn't since the ACA, but could easily go back to that, along with coverage caps, no required screening benefits, kids kicked off at 18, etc. if the GOP is successful at getting rid of ACA. They've been trying to do that for years.
Those are all, by definition, already pre-existing conditions.
"physical inactivity" is nearly universal and isn't a "pre-existing condition". The real problem is everyone has to go to their doctors to get approved rather than going to a drug store to get the shot. It is a waste of medical resources.
My doctor doesn't even give the covid shots anymore. If you want one you have to go to the pharmacy.
Time for a new doctor, because pharmacies will need pre-approval from a doctor.
OMFG, we r cooked! I detest that brain worm cunt🖕🏽🖕🏽
Wow, you’re hooped either way aren’t you? My god… Perhaps up here 🇨🇦 we will see vaccine tourism from Americans; don’t come to Alberta however, since our Premier is playing her own games with the Covid vaccine now 😡. Pandering to her nutty base!
And if you don’t get the vaccine insurance will deny payment for treatment bc there was a preventative.
I smoked a cigar once, so smoking it is.
ACA is dying a slow death by a thousand republican cuts.
All to pad the bank accounts of billionaires.
Our ACA premiums for 2026 $30,000 2 age 62,64
Our ACA premiums this year for 2 is 2500 a month. Same I am 62 , my husband 60. We cannot get the cheaper plans because of medical issues that happen when older. Blue shield.
When they get rid of Obamacare we will go back to the preexisting denials. I am chronic because blue cross denied Iv antibiotics for Lyme disease called it preexisting!! I will never get rid of it
Insurance isn’t worth a damn anymore.
Wait - they aren’t allowed to use high blood pressure???
thankfully my employer is self insured.
Medical tourism to Mexico, Canada and Europe is going to go way up.
Curious why they specifically singled out Down syndrome? My 34-year-old son has DS, and I'm glad he can get the vaccine, but I wonder...
Can we,Americans, sue the CDC for the right to be vaccinated?
This is an excellent idea. I read earlier that providers won’t be able to give it to us if it’s not recommended bc they will get sued.
It's not right that they can say we can't have something that is safe and effective. People can buy cigarettes and effing guns but I can't get vaccinated? It's insane!
🎯
Or exterminate you, as nazis do😰🤬
You can also say you're living with someone with these conditions or who is immunocompromised or elderly. At least you could previously.
I've been specifically watching for that and have not seen it mentioned anywhere.
See also the final paragraphs of this article in Time. You can get a pharmacy appt but it will be canceled because the pharmacies don't have the shots yet (and who knows when they'd get them). Get scrip from your GP for off label use at clinic. If vaccines ever ship. time.com/7313128/covi...
Ought I feel lucky to have a couple of those items on the list? 🤣
Or incarcerate you, if you happen to have a mental health condition.
Oh I am depressed from Nazis in the government, come get me already. 😂
If I have to, I'll say physical inactivity. Easy remedy for that.
I want a full neuro/ psych examination to show me what he’s got in order to not kill our citizens
I don't see brain worms anywhere?
🔍🔬
'Physical inactivity' could apply to 80% of Americans
According to the CDC it is 25% of the US adult population. Obesity applies 40% of the US population. Some of the conditions are overlapping in individuals, but likely some 90% of the population has one or more of the conditions.
Now apply that to the… “Golfer-in-Chief!”
When only people with zero health diagnoses ever can afford health insurance, yikes. What’s the point of insurance then?
The whole idea of health *insurance* is insane. You might go your whole life without having a car accident or losing your home to a fire, but everybody needs healthcare at some time.
Our system is stupid. National health insurance could solve many of our health industry problems…but too late now to dismantle the for profit insurance industry without massive political will
This is sick.
Well-informed, historically consistent speculation about how these ghouls operate across the board.
What about brain worm? Or general ickiness, which Jr. should know plenty about. His dad would not be proud.
So many healthy people are going to die unnecessarily because of this. It’s not only unfair it’s un american
Some corticosteroids include Flonase, Zyrtec and hydrocortisone cream.
It's like all the kids that spent a good chunk of their high school in detention were put into positions in the cabinet.
You got that right‼️
WTF!
The Affordable Care Act prevents health insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on preexisting conditions. This protection, under Section 2704, applies to all individual and group health plans. #ThanksObama
So trump qualifies under the physical inactivity heading! F Bobby Brainworm.
Or worse, involuntary confinement
Having this debate with myself right now. Something to think about. But I didn't think accounting for pre-existing conditions was allowed under the ACA?
What? The tRump administration concerned about legislation?
RFK is moving up my list of who I hate more outside of Trump, Vance, Bondi, etc. This was the worst possible choice for health secretary. 🤬
He's been second on my list since he got appointed. Definitely the worst possible choice.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Possibility
Remember what the Nazis did to disabled people?
📌
It’s already all over my medical records…
The number of people who claim to smoke is about to jump.
I thought this was a country where I could make choices Big government now makes choices for me.
Big government is A-OK with Republicans as long as it helps them trample the rights of regular people.
100% I have been telling my partner this, and now looking at that specific list, that isn’t a list organized by anything other than their hit list. I suppose putting autism on there was TOO much of a give away, but they did opt for some Neuro conditions so not a stretch. I only found out about
My AuDHD diagnosis last year and through the process I now know what I know, and despite the help they need, I feel it’s not safe to test my kids even though they are 18/20. I just think it’s sooo scary. We’ve got a triple target household ♿️🏳️🌈🧠♾️
The whole country qualifies for a mood disorder.
Realistically, nearly 100% of the US population would fall on that list. 40% of adults in the US meet the obesity criteria alone. Some 8% of the population has asthma. 20% of the population smoke.
Everyone else can aspire to "physical inactivity." I'm not? Prove it.
It is not like a health care professional is going to argue with you to deny you a vaccination.
Can’t even get a booster with a condition without a written prescription from my doctor. 🖕RFK death deliverer
America will be fine. All you need to be, according to the chart, is fat, alcoholic and smokers. No problem. 😂😂😂
So... for Kidney disease, you have to be on dialysis??? Just having it isn't enough? Assholes
This is a Corticosteroid. I think saying you use this to relieve itchiness from dry skin is your safest bet here.
Pretty soon, you’ll have to be dead before you can get the vaccine
There are things on this list that don’t make much medical sense so yes, it does look like a witch hunt. Depression and autism don’t actually put you in a category for poorer outcomes from CoVid & is he limiting types of cancer??? Common sense should be top of the list.
Idiot
Swear to christ there are more Kennedy brains on a car seat somewhere than there are in that dumbfuck's worm-riddled head.
Physical inactivity can easily be claimed. It isn’t a medical condition…
And any adult or older teen could claim to be a former smoker. How could it ever be disproven?
If anyone even took ONE DRAG…they smoked. Or…second hand smoke…😉 We can obliterate this crap easy…
RFK, Jr. … of all people … requiring documentation of a pre-existing condition … to get a COVID shot … is a special kind of weird hell.
I guess - I really would rather not get COVID and am intelligent enough to know the vaccine can help me - is no longer an allowable reason in the United States. Thanks MAGA. if MAGA wants to die or get Long COVID - that's their right. Why do I need to get fucked over?
They already know from the diagnosis codes submitted for your claims.
I bet dollars to donuts you're right!!
🚨🚨🚨🚨
Physical inactivity. Doesn't that cover most Americans. What an unscientific list. Mood disorders?
According to the CDC the rate is about 25%. Those would be people who said 'no' to the question of do you do physical activity outside of work.
It seems to me like they want documented list of people to cull for their eugenics plans.
Except if they start culling the obese, they'll lose half of ICE.
Exactly my thought
💯☝️
My thoughts exactly.
That’s where I went. Why does having a mood disorder make one more susceptible to Covid enough to need additional vaccines?
Certain mood disorders are linked to poor self care, at least up to I can’t be bothered if this kills me. They can also be associated with apathy and procrastination, which at clinical levels impairs the ability to seek help.
Explain HOW some mood disorders are linked to poor care. Really explain it to me.
There is no proof of that This is eugenics Collaborators will face the wall
I don’t understand what you mean. Are you saying that people with mental illness are more likely to spread COVID than those without mental illness?
The issue is that they literally can't take care of themselves in some cases. And that does make them more likely to get and die of covid, among other things.
give me science on this. I'll wait.
People w mental illness are more likely to get and die of COVID? 😅😅😅 Interesting opinion. Would love to know what you’re referring to when you say “among other things”. Please do share these “other things”.
This one seems pretty straightforward, actually. Do we have to always fight with people we agree with?
…I don’t agree with that statement.
It just seems like you're picking a fight where there's none to pick. Mere common sense would suggest it's obvious that people with severe mental illness might be less able to look after themselves physically. But like so many on here, you need to tendentiously push back.
Those same attributes inhibit these people from even bothering to get the vaccine to begin with.
Yes, but at least it’s an effort rather than a panacea.
Not with this administration. They don’t do anything without ulterior motives. Not when they are trying to figure out how to send the mentally ill to camps. Nope.
Good point. I am burdened by the imposition of a socialised healthcare system where the system and staff actually try and care for you. Perhaps I should yearn for the American model as Vice President Vance told us we have no freedoms any more.
This is right from the 1984 novel: if you don't maintain your daily physical activity, you will be publicly humiliated and deserve what's coming for you. That's why he wants to make physical activity tracking devices mandatory, so he can remotely monitor your daily physical activity.
Can I just say I'm physically inactive?
My husband is severely immunocompromised and therefore everyone living with him also need to have access to covid vaccines.
You are all former smokers now who are physically inactive!
LMAO! Yes! I didn't even see those on list. I smoked when younger and can start training to become physically inactive ASAP.
Working on being physically inactive is exhausting! I think it is more taxing than the hell of quitting smoking 39 years ago.
Who is going to present proof of having a mental illness to get a vaccine when mental illnesses are being criminalized?!?!
True. That would be like a big ‘Come Get Me’ sign to the Mengele eugenicists in Project Nazi 2025
Since when has a mental illness put someone at risk of contracting a virus from someone?
Since the republican party.
I get your meaning but that still isn't related to any medical facts.
What do you mean, they’re criminalizing mental illness?
*puffs on my vape intensely* well....shit.
re Vaccine restrictions: What about nurses & frontline medical personnel? They can get COVID from family members, neighbors & bring it to hospitals & nursing homes. So many nurses died during first pandemic COVID wave, there is ongoing shortage of nurses now apple.news/A61QPuER6RM-...
This is exactly what I was wondering as a nuc med tech. I deal with sick ppl all day. Is my hospital allowed to offer it. R they gonna test the pts. Hopefully they inform us soon
Yes. Exactly ! What are hospital administrators going to do about this?
That crowd is too stupid to think that far ahead. They like to pretend they are playing 3D chess when they are losing at checkers.
Have I got this right??? To get a preventative vaccination... you have to show you've already had/got it? 🤔
Well...all chubs can get it.
Exactly why they're trying to break our HIPAA laws to get all our medical information.
They already have all that. It's one way they're locating immigrants.
And of course they don’t want to protect the actual healthcare workers. I’m a nurse and can’t even get it. Thanks, dumbass.
I’m so sorry!!!!
What! Healthcare workers cannot get the vaccine?
My company hasn’t provided the COVID vaccine for the past 2 years-just the Flu jab. If we are now being required by the HHS to “go see our GP’s” to get a script based on the list above, I for one won’t qualify even though I frequently care for COVID patients on my unit.
🤯
Start smoking today. Quit after a couple of puffs. You are now a former smoker.
Do herbals count, lol?
And what about the people who live with/care for people who DO have a qualifying condition? My friend’s husband has had a liver transplant and he’s compromised enough that he needs everyone in his home to be vaccinated. 😩
I guess that’s a discussion with your GP? 🤷🏻♀️ I’m not sure, just speaking on what I feel my experience has/will be.
Do you think that we could claim one of these things pay out-of-pocket instead of putting it on our insurance and they would never know??
It depends on whether we have to provide documentation of a risk factor. Once something like that is issued by your health care provider, I don't know how you could keep it out of your records.
Big Pharma should be pissed
