All those extra visits are really going to push up profits for doctors and pharmaceutical companies.
But that’s the point, isn’t it?
So each vaccine will be a separate visit, including the ones he plans to separate like the MMR vaccine. So individual visits, complete with individual copays. That surely won’t price people out of going at all, would it? What an unforseen aggression against the poor. 😑
Edit: I forgot preventative treatments don’t have copay so they can screw people this way at least
Preventative visits do not have cost shares. Thanks, Obama.
Oh that’s right I forgot, that’s good at least
And both kids and parents will absolutely love going to the doctor every six months for shots.
Brilliant.
These fuckers are now just trying to kill kids
What are kids worth to Trump unless he can…
I want my freedom and privacy back!!!

Edit: to future Internet archivists … YES THAT FUCKING HAPPENED!
Edit 2: of course you don’t believe me because it’s just too goddamn insane to be true, so here’s a fucking picture as proof
We were so fucking close to having a blind president, assuming he wasn’t blinded by doing that and had the best meds available to cure it.
So fucking close
Not close at all actually. You’ll never make me believe that wasn’t staged
I’m so tired of this republican big brother government telling me what I can and can’t do.
The American Academy of Pediatrics and every competent pediatrician don’t give a shit about this impotent cry for attention.
Fact Checked: U.S. Vaccine Recommendations are Appropriate for Children in the United States
also incontinent.
Neither does my state’s department of public health, whom I am now trusting with my medical recommendations instead of federal organizations.
Federal used to be much more competent and much less corrupt than state.
State hasn’t changed that much…
Basically: “we have no actual power, but listen to us, not your doctor.”
no power or medical expertise
Its definitely the vaccines…not the polluted water table or microplastics that are in everyone.
I’m beginning to think that these are just being shoved in front of the orange idiot and he signs them, completely oblivious to what’s going on around him.
No, he was actually pushing RFK Jr. to do this. I think his numbers are low enough that he’s shoring up support from fringe issue voters. We’ll probably see another attempt at federal transcare restrictions soon.
anti-vax are fringe voters, that recently became "r voters’
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-
That’s how a lot of the government works though. It’s legal enough to change the way things work.
It’s one branch of government declaring a new way to enforce things from the very top. It always depends on people below actually following through.
Shit, even decriminalization is like that. A city can say, “we no longer want to prosecute people for marijuana” and they literally just tell cops to stop arresting people for it, whether it’s a federal crime or not. And the cops will stop arresting people for it… Usually… And if someone does get arrested for it, the district attorney will probably say “well we aren’t prosecuting for that so let him go”, and that’s that.
It’s similarly “legal”. Someone in power declares a way of doing things and people do it, to a certain extent.
There’s a supposed balance of powers that way. Legislators don’t get to decide 100% how things work. Other branches can make choices. Judges, mayors, governors, presidents.
And obviously, it can get abused, and nothing is stopping Trump from declaring that wearing green on Sunday is illegal, and if he did judges would probably just tell people to ignore that stupid shit.
Legal is a spectrum. It always depends on how it’s going to be enforced in practice, and how severe the penalties are, and how badly people want to do it.
Executive orders should not infringe on constitutional rights. Sadly, our checks and balances have broken down.
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…?
In any other country? Yes.
In the USA and from this president I think it’s fair.
Oh I thought he made shooting up schools to close together illegal
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.
Wow, you had common side effects of getting vaccines!
Some vaccines are definitely harder than others on the body, but experiencing side effects, even ones that can take you out for a week (looking at you tetanus booster…), is normal. Some of those side effects are the body responding to the actual jab, which you’d now increase with this change since you’re increasing the number of individual shots.
Not all vaccines work the same way and the COVID ones were different even from those we know. I don’t think each one has the potential to make you sick after injection.
