  1. We went from “you can’t make me take that shot” to “fuck you! You can’t get vaccinated even if you want to!”… Pure evil. They’re literally trying to kill us all.

  2. Man, fuck the Trump admin, and fuck everyone that voted for him.

    So now I can’t get the vaccine because I’m healthy, even though my invalid mother lives with me and has a compromised immune system.

  3. So, it’s not enough that the shots are completely voluntary and anyone can choose not to get it, now you’re taking it away a parent’s right to choose whats best for their children.

  4. >“We simply don’t know whether a healthy 52-year-old woman with a normal BMI who has had Covid-19 three times and has received six previous doses of a Covid-19 vaccine will benefit from the seventh dose,” they wrote.

    For the GOP, it’s always about controlling women specifically. Even the rhetoric is aimed to make it about women.

  5. This is so fucking stupid.

    There is literally zero positive benefit and potentially massive negative benefit.

  8. Can’t read certain books because we are supposedly unable to choose what we think is good for us.

    Can’t have certain lifestyles because we are supposedly unable to choose what we think is good for us.

    Can’t have certain vaccines because we are supposedly unable to choose what we think is good for us.

    **Yeah….a real nation of “FREEDOM”.**

  9. So if you’re ‘healthy’ you can’t get a vaccine to keep you healthy, sure that makes sense.

  11. “The President and I believe that swimming in a creek full of feces, botulism, urine, ag run off, motor oil, benzene and other wonderful miracle substances is far more likely to build your immune system into tip-top shape than anything these pharmaceutical giants can put together for their shareholders. We say, ‘Dive in!'” -/s

  12. What country goes backwards in healthcare? This is insane.

  13. Vaccines are preventative measures to strengthen your immune system while you’re healthy, they’re not miracle cures. Getting a vaccine while you’re already sick isn’t going to be nearly as effective because your immune system’s already compromised.

    Fuck this administration.

  14. Great. So glad I’m getting medical advice from an obese pants shitter

  15. Not because of science. Because of maga feelings.

  16. So, he forbids them? From doing what they want with their bodies?

  17. I travel all over the country for work. I need to be vaccinated to help protect my elderly parents.

    This is some fascist bullshit

  18. Seems like a wild move for a guy that got hundreds of thousands of people killed by Covid.

  19. How can this be legal? What about healthcare providers who treat people with COVID? What about people who live with susceptible individuals? What about staff in nursing homes?

    What about the fact that i am a grown adult and I want a COVID vaccine? A safe vaccine that I have had multiple times. I take crowded public transportation.

    Curious, are there any other vaccines people are prohibited from having?

  20. next time a republican uses the excuse that they’re in favor of small government, I’m just going to point to this

  21. Americans are still drying from Covid. This is incompetence.

  22. “Don’t take medical advice from me” -RFK

    “Actually, my advice is you can’t even get the shot if you wanted it” -Also RFK

  23. This is an act of violence against the citizens of this country.

  24. This is pure 100% evil. Keeping vaccines away from people who want them. Next it’s going to be the measles vaccine I guarantee it.

  25. I just had a baby girl yesterday. These are monsters.

  27. I can’t stand this administration, I practice in an ER so you’re dam right I want both my COVID and flu shot.

  29. Vaccines are preventative. They don’t work after you’re infected you’re suppose to take then while you’re health.

  30. ““We simply don’t know whether a healthy 52-year-old woman with a normal BMI who has had Covid-19 three times and has received six previous doses of a Covid-19 vaccine will benefit from the seventh dose,” they wrote.”

    Yes, actually we fucking do. The benefit is huge. These fucking clowns, doing politics under the guise of medicine. This policy will only guarantee that healthy adults become unhealthy adults that much quicker.

  32. I’m exposed to hundreds of people a day at my job and on weekends spend time with my elderly mother helping around her house. I get vaccinated every year to protect her. So now I can’t help shield her by vaccinating myself? Fuck these anti-science fascists.

  33. The government funded this vaccine

    I want to take this vaccine because I care about my health

    The government is using the power of the government to bar me from accessing a vaccine I PAID TO DEVELOP and want to take VOLUNTARILY and purchase ON THE FREE MARKET.

    Party of individualism and small government my fucking ass

  35. People get flu shots every year as, even if you are healthy, the flu sucks to get.

    The exact same is true with COVID. Why the fuck is a disease politicized still?

  36. Who decides who is “healthy”? Sounds like death panels to me.

  37. It’s funny, I seem to recall one of the big reasons they don’t want single payer healthcare is that they don’t want the government involved in making healthcare decisions for us. Weird. Kinda almost like they’re fine with the government telling other people to do what they want.

  38. I’m so beyond angry at this. IT IS NOT BAD TO GIVE HEALTHY PEOPLE VACCINES! THAT IS THE POINT – TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF DISEASES. I hate RFK Jr. so much.

  39. Fighting to spread disease. Conservatives are literal vermin
