    Yeah, that’s a great move. 🙄 Meanwhile, I saw a member of the Shaker community walking into Kroger with full blown measles rash.

        I don’t keep up with the beliefs of primitive religious cults. I just know she was Shaker by how she dressed. We have Shakers, Mennonites, and Amish in my area. I know which ones I won’t be buying produce from going forward.

    Is there any study or high-level calculation regarding the overall impact of vaccines on a country’s economy? I mean, I’m 100% sure that this is a terrible decision that will bring a lot of pain and suffering to the US. I’m just thinking if there is at least a tiny bit of reasoning behind that decision. Like is there any perspective where this makes at least a tiny bit of sense from their point of view?

    The only thing I can think of would be… ‘If people die early, it saves money for their retirement.’

    I would expect the costs for medical treatments, sick days, long term effects to outweight that by far…

    Or do they hope that private companies start advertising vaccines once the government stops the funding?

    Just get all your vaccines while you can, who knows how stable our healthcare will be by the end of the year
