How long before they make Medicare and Medicaid benefits conditional on vaxxines?

It's utterly bizarre that they are doing this when the evidence of vaxx failure wrt to infection and transmission and, increasingly, disease mitigation is overwhelming.

This is not about a virus.

This is not about personal or public health.

Imagine what these people have seen that they would be willing to leave their jobs to avoid getting the vaccine. Doesn't that tell a half-not-brain-dead person something?

I always feel so bad for the kitten being bewildered by all the bullshit. Pobrecito.

Just saw a report that Duke University did a study that showed both the vaxxed ppl and unvaxxd ppl caught COVID at same rate. I have always wondered why people get a shot when there is no guarantee it will keep you safe. Always been that way with the flu shot which is partly why I haven't gotten one in decades.

Feature, not a bug.

Great as usual, bad cat. Dumb question: how can one pay you for your work? I do not see a pay portal anywhere.

Based on evidence gathered in Spring 2020, most people won't understand the dire straits the hospital is in unless there's a highly choreographed dance on TikTok to show just how bad and stressful this is.

Don't feel bad kitty. You deserve an extra treat and a scratch behind the ears tonight.

This appears to validate certain conspiracy theories: private hospitals are closing, so let's replace them with NHS-style government facilities. Local police forces lost most of their personnel, so let's send in federal police, expanding on the Hunger Games-style Capitol Police outposts already being trialed. And probably other ideas I'm not thinking about at this hour...

Time for wealthy individuals to support their local hospitals rather than the government. Get the government out of everything! Don’t Joe Rogan and Elon Musk live in Texas now?

I heard something the actually number of boosters coming is like 8. Here is one ongoing clinical trial of the booster shots: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04979949

so does that mean that everyone in the booster arm are now part of the clinical trial? The actual clinical trial for the initial shots is still going until 2023. What a joke! Shots mandated and forced while they are under a clinical trials.

"Flatten the curve" to prevent hospitals being overwhelmed, which will require quarantining anybody whose been in contact with Covid, including hospital staff, or enforcing stawaway orders for unvaxxed hospital staff, will result in reduced hospital capacity, which in turn will require "flattening the curve" even more..... Yossarian would approve.
