I mean, as a fatty who genuinely hopes to get to the EU one day, I pray they don’t do that. But for unvaccinated folk? Unless it’s for a legitimate medical reason, they absolutely should.
They’ve already started limiting who can get certain vaccines like COVID in the US, that would just create another way to keep people in the country. Creating a vaccine tourism industry would be smart though; discount vacations under the guise of “being under medical observation” for a few days if you’re getting vaccinated.
Small note: in the end, access to COVID vaccines has not been limited. There was swirl around this that made it seem like they would be, but then the CDC landed on guidance that basically boils down to, “it’s an individual’s choice with the guidance of their healthcare provider.”
I was livid about the swirl because I am an immunocompromised person while my partner is not, and the initial guidance implied he would not have access to the vaccine, despite living with me.
I want everyone who can get vaccinated to do so, and so it’s important to me to stop the perception that anyone is restricted from accessing it.
Is that in every state, though? I thought some states and some companies were following anti-vaxxer nonsense and demanding that people under a certain age (65?) had to have some precondition.
No, the point is that they’re limiting it by saying that its up to an individual and their professional because that gives leeway for insurance companies to choose not to cover the vaccine by having their own doctors argue against it.
And then you would have to take them to court to get them to actually pay which never happens majority of the time so by default peoples vaccinations are generally a lot less likely to continue being covered. Many people that could get the vaccine free before are either losing coverage soon or are only being guaranteed coverage through 2026 with no plans on after.
yea its horrible even in canada ive heard about the scariness of it all, and similar things are happening with other vaccines for children its absolutely fucked

Exactly. I was told up front if insurance denied it I would be paying about $200-$300.
