When I attempt to schedule a COVID vaccine, I get this:
The 2025-26 COVID-19 vaccine is for everyone ages 65 and older and patients under 65 with certain health conditions and/or risk factors.
I get a pop up saying…
Patients who do not have any of these health conditions and/or risk factors are not eligible for COVID-19 vaccination.
Qualifying health conditions and/or risk factors:
Cancer
Cerebrovascular disease
Chronic kidney disease (at any stage)
Chronic liver disease
Chronic lung disease
Cystic fibrosis
Dementia or other neurological conditions
Diabetes (type 1 or type 2)
Disabilities
Heart conditions
Hemoglobin blood disorders
HIV infection (human immunodeficiency virus)
Mental health conditions
Mood disorders including depression and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Overweight or obesity
Physical inactivity
Pregnancy (Current or recent)
Smoking - current or former
Solid organ or blood stem cell transplant
Substance use disorders
Tuberculosis (TB)
Other conditions that increase the risk of severe COVID-19. Learn more from CDC
So, health insurance fraud or COVID? Considering the administration will likely try to slaughter any consumer-friendly insurance regulations and everyone shares everyone’s every piece of data with everyone… What a choice.
So if you are healthy, you shouldn’t get the vaccine? Typical people are unhealthy enough? What exactly is your point? Why the fuck should it be harder to get a vaccine for COVID than the flu?
A decision is going to be make later this month by a committee as to the future of the vaccine. That committee was fired, in its entirety, and replaced by people picked by RFK. So… I guess if you willing to attest to your insurance company that you have conditions that, in no time at all, may be used by your insurance company to increase your rate or drop you (because I guarantee they’ll try to kill Obamacare at some point), you can get a vaccine for a limited time… assuming you live in certain states.
Last I checked, the following states require a prescription:
Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
The following states are not providing the vaccine at all:
Massachusetts, Nevada, and New Mexico
Edit: Looks like things have progressed. MA is now offering them to anyone.
I think because Donvict and Brainworms have created such a clusterfuck here, Colorado did an emergency measure as well.
(As a side note: Isn’t it weird how the cons break EVERYTHING and everyone else is expected to clean up their fucking mess?
Biden’s admin had 4 years to try to undo some of the damage of Donvict’s first 4 years, and most of the bitching from the left and the center seemed to be how the admin did not INSTANTLY fix all of the messes that conservatives make…forgetting that building and running a working system is hard work; breaking shit is really easy to do.)
I am by no means defending the cluster fuck. I did not mean to suggest so. Alls im suggesting is most americans, reading through that list, can reasonably answer they do. For example I meet the definition of being obese but the lines around that section are very common.
The problem is that many fear how that might come back and bite them, given the insurance situation here. “What you checked “Physical inactivity” here, your premiums are going up, or we are going to drop you…”
Why do we even need this extra step at all, just because one dopey guy was “elected” and nominated his conspiracy theory pal to run health?

If you look through the list and how prevalent some things are its easy to not commit fraud if your a typical person.
