Just to be clear, the person making this claim is Dr. Aseem Malhotra, the crazy guy who’s gotten into the good graces of RFK Jr. “Crazy Guy who makes Crazy Claims makes another Crazy Claim that aligns with his previous Crazy Claims.” For me, I’m sticking this bit of information on the corkboard, but I’m not going to freak out about it. Yet.
There’s also the money involved. The pharmaceutical corporations pretty much have things rigged so they make huge profit off of any drug to market. Even those that aren’t really that effective. But when it comes to vaccines, that’s a pretty much a guaranteed demand.
That’s a lot of dough to grease some wheels, if they needed to; no way any kind of ban like this would actually go through. Not that that should surprise anyone, after all, considering how frequently these morons turn out to be all talk, no substance.
I can’t imagine the administration, who’s primary concern is getting as much money as possible from as many sources as possible, would open themselves to lawsuits AND reduce a chance of fleecing/Intel’ing the pharmaceutical markets that produce highly profitable vaccines.
My bets are they’re going to talk it up real big to scare everyone left of “backwoods gooner in a wooden shack” and raise a big narrative that they’re doing all the weird shit Conservatives think they want, while trying to exercise a completely brain-damaged tactic against pharma companies to try to negotiate another fascist “cut” of their profits. Then they can quietly forget about it like nearly everything else they’ve promised to their completely ignorant, unthinking base.
All that said, I am going to have to suffer through a booster ASAP because these fucks are deranged and unpredictable. And if they DO go through with it and I lose anyone I care about to covid, I am going to the hardware store. And I am betting I will have friends.
im due for one and its enough that im going to go forward and see about getting one while I can. was waiting to get a job offer to have it close to the next point I might be in close contact with folks for long periods of times.

Don’t forget the insurance companies.
They’re doing the math, and they’d probably rather pay for a shot than expensive ICU stays.
I wish I could forget about the insurance companies. Monetizing fear itself. Can we get off this timeline please?!
Okay, that took me a minute to decode. To grease some wheels. Voice to text?
No, I’m just stupid. Obviously.
Just kidding, of course; I will fix.
They might also be toying with the market.
