Has an eclectic set of opinions from capitalism is killing the middle class to being anti vax to being an environmental lawyer. He’s cozy with a lot of reactionary figures and the mainstream liberal media hates him. Is he getting amplified by right wingers to destabilize the Democratic primary?

    It is totally understandable why you dont trust a government that feeds you a steady stream of lies or an industry whose entire business model rests on exploitation and immiseration. Having said that there’s peer reviewed science on the benefits of the boosters for preventing severe illness, so dismissing them as a cash grab is inaccurate, imo, and might do harm by dissuading someone from getting a booster who needs it.

    The best indication will be whether or not insurance plans cover the shot 100%, if they do you can be sure that shit saves lives bc they wouldn’t pay a nickel that isn’t in their interest.

      You should read this. The booster may start to cost money. The original vaccine will not becuase it's mandated by the aca that vaccine be covered by insurance

      If you don't have insurance you will probably have to pay unless you get grandfather in.

      COVID and the aftermath of it has been really nothing but lies to try and maintain the status quo that COVID disrupted.
