I have a human scrip in my travel bag as I type this. 12 mg. 1x per day for 5 days if I get symptomatic |

Costs of MAGA-approved COVID treatments:
Horse paste for humans: $94 for 20 pills https://www.drugs.com/price-guide/horse_paste Monoclonoal antibodies: $2,000 and up https://www.goodrx.com/monoclonal-antibodies Costs of MAGA-disapproved COVID preventatives that also give you 5G: COVID-19 vaccine: $150 for full freight https://www.managedhealthcareexecutive.com/view/the-price-tags-on-the-covid-19-vaccines I strongly suspect people refusing to get the vaccine to own Big Pharma aren't owning Big Pharma as much as they think. It's like the guy who picked up deer poop to spell out LGB. |

That was me. However, given that persistent vaccine refusers are some 20-30 million people, public health planning has to account for that. Given that many of them are more MAGA than Trump Himself (the booing when Trump waded into encouraging folks to get the vaccine), I'm not sure that celebrity endorsements will work here. Also, let's face it, we'd be facing a bad healthcare season based solely on older vaccinated/boosted folks who're still getting COVID. Some focus now has to be on testing - to allow normal life to continue as easily as possible, and on treatment courses for those who do come down with the virus. Presumably we can do this without letting the vaccine giving machinery rust in place, since who knows if 3x boosted folks will be needing another booster in 1-5-10 years. This will cost money, but so what? It costs more money when we get caught flatfooted. |

The focus in 2022 will include:
* comply with vaccines or be subject to more negatively. * move the goalpost on the definition of fully vaxxed * watch as SCOTUS invalidates the mandae |

| Horse paste worked great for that Republican who just died in El Salvador. |

| Where are the rapid tests? Lines around the block again! This administration squandered an ENTIRE YEAR. |

Well, I can see this thread went south pretty quickly.

NP.
I am reading and hearing rumors that Biden is going to announce that the really dangerous part of the pandemic is over and we need to get on with our lives while also taking precautions like masking in public, getting our shots, etc. Basically a more data-driven approach to risk where we acknowledge that people over 80 have different health outlooks and considerations than pre-schoolers or teenagers. So rather than everyone behaving as if they are an obese, immunocompromised 80 year old, we actually look at our true risk profiles based on our health and demographics. This means that most people should be living their lives normally now, perhaps with a mask on in public. Or not, since masks appear to be ineffective against omicron. |

Wait a minute! You mean to say that managing a national pandemic response is difficult and that virus can be unpredictable?! Wow, who knew? |

Wait, you’re expecting reason to take hold when so many DCUM types take such pleasure in looking down on lower status people who don’t follow the rules? I don’t know that they can give up the COVID hysteria that easily. |
