With the FDA changing who can get Covid vaccines, do you think people will try to stop spreading Covid if they can’t get updated boosters or will everybody continue to live like it’s 2019?

Also, the death panel podcast recently published an episode on RFK Jr that freaked me out. They played a clip of him vowing to eliminate chronic illness within the next two years. He’ll be completely unable to eliminate chronic illness, but if they stop diagnosing people and kill off those of us who are already diagnosed the numbers will go down.

This is going to be awful. I want to move to Canada. Or Mexico.

I think that the vaccine access changes will encourage people to believe it's even more 2019 than they did before. And yes, the plan is to pretend that chronically ill people don't exist, rather than actually trying to help them. For now, at least, I don't think things are going to get as bad in Canada, but our Conservatives could make a comeback in the next election, so you never know.

I am in New Hampshire, and my primary care doctor’s office has a lot of staff who are Canadian doctors doing their residency here. They are really good people and good doctors and if they go back to Canada after they’re done here I will be sad because they’re wonderful, but I was also feeling guilty that we have a bunch of your medical residents helping us when you probably need them. (My PCP works at an inclusive sliding scale clinic so they don’t hate on vulnerable people so the Canadians doing there residency there must be decent humans or they would hate working in that clinic & they wouldn’t.)
