This might be the worst thing trump actually does, including the Jan 6 insurrection. I’m serious. The implications are enormous. Far greater than a million people will die if even a small but significant fraction of people believe his lies, and act accordingly.
All those extra visits are really going to push up profits for doctors and pharmaceutical companies.
But that’s the point, isn’t it?
Also, how are they going to kill your children with preventable diseases if you prevent them?
Trump is just legalizing abortions up to the fortieth trimester!
I want my freedom and privacy back!!!
Basically: “we have no actual power, but listen to us, not your doctor.”
Stay losing America!
Its definitely the vaccines…not the polluted water table or microplastics that are in everyone.
How ridiculous. That’s literally not even something that falls under the powers of the president or federal government.
There’s apparently nothing that says executive orders have to be legal.
Just that little thing called the constitution.
But I guess our checks and balances have voided that social contact, too. -sigh-
Obvious goal is to reduce the number of children who receive all the shots, even if the parents want them to, since every extra jab is unnecessary pain and another potential tantrum.
More importantly, it’s also potentially an excuse for insurance companies to refuse coverage for it. Money is a way bigger influence on parental behavior than upset kids are.
And a separate visit with a separate copay.
… is it wrong of me that I had to read more than the headline to realize that it was vaccine being referred to here…?
This one is interesting because spacing out the vaccines will reduce the fraction of children who actually go through with getting all their vaccinations and therefore have a net negative effect on public health, but at the same time I personally wouldn’t agree to get more than one vaccine in the same day. I recall getting rather sick after getting multiple vaccines at the same time when I was a child. (It wasn’t life-threatening, but it was quite unpleasant for several days.) And even now, the last time I got a covid booster I was in bed for two days afterwards. I wouldn’t want to potentially compound that reaction. A relative of mine recently insisted on spacing out all her child’s vaccines and that’s what I would do if I had the time and money for the additional visits to the doctor.
