In science, we have Planck's Principle, which can be paraphrased, "Science progresses one funeral at a time". Despite how the Scientific Method is supposed to work, the scientists doing the work are humans with their own attachments and biases that often prevent a move to a superior paradigm until those holding the attachments and biases pass on, and a new generation (with their own attachments and biases) can adopt the better paradigms.
I think we're going to see the same thing happen electorally with voters. We're well past the point where RFK2 and #MAHA fans can be reasoned with, and they are going to use the levers of power that they control to force their own paradigm down all of our throats. Since this fight between paradigms and approaches are more of a culture war than a scientific debate, those that die (such as the two children earlier this year in the Texas measles epidemic) will be collateral damage in service to the new #MAHA ideology.
Well, they will die until enough of them no longer exercise sufficient voting power to keep RFK2 and his band of kooks in power. People NOT on the #MAHA bandwagon will continue to search out solid medical information (with an increased survival rate) and those aboard the ideological train will adopt superstitions and practices without robust empirical justification, to their detriment.
At one point in time, I'd be aghast at myself standing aside and wishing for natural selection to hurry up and run its course, but here we are. I'm 100% for the #MAHA crowd getting what it's reaped good and hard, while the rest of us ignore anything coming out of the RFK2-helmed HHS and seek our medical recommendations elsewhere (ideally at the state level, but good luck with that, Red Staters).
Good old Erick Erickson weighted in on this on twitter today, remarking how his wife can't find the Covid vaccine anymore and its a literal life saver for her.
It's wrong but my first thought was you knew this was going to happen and you still happily supported him anyway. That just doesn't compute to me. His wife's life hangs in the balance and he willfully chooses to endanger her.
Here’s a WaPo rundown on vaccine access. It does look like GA pharmacies will require a prescription, but EE’s wife should be able to get a prescription. I haven’t tried to get mine yet, but I’ll probably pair it with a flu shot soon. That may be something to write about if it isn’t straightforward.
It's not wrong - it's that "common sense" that the folks on the Right like to throw around like it's a Monopoly "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
Common Sense tells you that you don't put folks into power who will bring other folks into power who will endanger you and/or your friends and family.
Erick let other concerns override that Common Sense in the last electoral cycle, and his family is now paying the price ("finding out") for his f***'ing around and playing footsie and promoting medical cranks.
Of course then he goes on to say its all the democrats fault because things weren't hundred percent perfectly handled during covid and I'm like oh right you deserve all this and more.
I finally found more of the story on the Daily Beast. CVS and Walmart decided on their own to restrict access to the vaccine. Maybe Erick should take his wife to an Ingles pharmacy or even get her a prescription. Neither is hard to do and I'm sure his wife is worth the effort.
With the CDC in a mess, there's a lot of confusion everywhere. I had a lengthy conversation with a woman from Massachusetts on Wednesday on this topic and she's having a hard time finding information so she can help her parents get a booster.
I imagine that this confusion will vary state by state, depending on how much each puts into their programs. The one party I'm looking to weigh in are the insurance companies - will COVID vaccine coverage affect rates the same way other factors do?
I can only speak for myself but I asked my transplant team how they were handling it at U of Michigan and they said they were just going to take everything on a case by case basis. I can still get the vaccine when I need it.
The corrective HAS come, and it's now time to dismantle the hideous vaccine machine that has been grinding up lives at an ever-increasing rate since 1986. Thank God for Bobby Kennedy and the growing numbers coming to their senses about this shit. The problem here is that many, including those on this thread, can't admit error and acknowledge the harm and destruction that has been caused by vaccination, most especially by the C-19 gene-altering injections. But hey, it's your right to continue jabbing yourselves, and equally so for those who choose otherwise.
Anyone who advocates the MRNA vaccine to anyone under the age of 65 needs their head examined. Young people are still dropping dead of pericarditis and myocarditis from the vaccine. This is one of the major scandals in our history.
They really are not: and when compared to the incidents of myocarditis from COVID vs the vaccine you ultimately have a relative risk that benefits the vaccine over getting COVID.
I have an idea, let's get the truth! Investigate the efficacy of the vaccine vs the damage caused. The problems with doctor Monkeypox is that he resists such an investigation.

There must be more to this. I just got the Covid vaccine and plan to get the updated version later this year.
I don't know I figured it was a red state thing.

Small dissonance: we get the government we choose. We don’t deserve this. A corrective will come, after the damage is done.

I can't believe you are still trying. Waste of words.
Lies must be countered with truth.
