[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is funny. Everyone on this thread wants the US healthcare system to be more like Europe and Canada, until it comes to the Covid vaccine. Someone upthread said Canada should be immunizing US citizens at the border. Do you know that Canada, like the EU, only vaccinates adults over 65 and those with certain conditions? Their restrictions are even tighter than these new US conditions. Literally, over half the US can get the vaccination because obesity is one of the conditions that makes one eligible; as is anxiety and depression. Pretty much everyone on this site is covered. So to call this a "humanitarian" crisis is beyond hysteria. And comes from a place of complete disinformation.[/quote]

I’m sorry to point it out, but you are incorrect. 
1.In Canada, anyone can be immunized with Covid vax once a year, and those high risk can be immunized twice a year. 
2. Due to individual state laws in the USA, vaccines cannot be released if they are not approved by fda and ACIP. RFK has fired ACIP and tried to force cdc director to sign off on fake documents. This now means they are banned in a few states and require prescription AND proof of high-risk condition in order to get one.

This has been widely reported and clarified by reputable news sources in the past 24 hours.

That's not quite right. And what about the EU, hmm?[/quote]

Same in the EU. Anyone of any age can get the covid vax free of charge, at least once a year. Some member states of the EU offer more than one a year to high risk groups, free of charge. 
This information is easy to look up, you know. EMA. Not Fox News or gateway pundit.[/quote]

Nope.

[quote]For autumn 2025, COVID-19 vaccination will be offered to:

adults aged 75 years and over
    residents in care homes for older adults
    individuals who are immunosuppressed aged 6 months and over

This represents a change from the autumn 2024 programme, which also included adults aged 65 to 74 and all those aged 6 months and over in a clinical risk group.

The eligibility is the same across the 4 nations of the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).[/quote][/quote]

For some reason, this kind of data they just don't believe. They want to be just like Europe, until most of Europe doesn't provide the Covid vaccine to healthy people, then it's "follow the sciecnce" "just go back and eat asbestos." We can post all the data about the risks vs. benefits, but those who want their boosters come hell or high water will continue to ignore the basic facts and call it a humanitarian crisis.[/quote]

Because it should be OUR (and everyone's) Choice to decide if we want the covid vax yearly (or every 6 months).  I might have family members who are severely compromised and want to visit them and keep them safe.  I might have a kid dealing with cancer or some other illness and want to/need to keep them safe, which means I need protection as well.

The science indicates the shots work well at reducing the side effects when you get covid.  Who knows, they might help prevent it somewhat as well.  Either way, just like I don't want measles or mumps (I'm barely old enough to not have friends who got it---but all of my older cousins did) I don't want any other disease that is easily preventable.  
But besides vaccinations, I also stay home when sick, wear a mask normally when it's possible (plane/train/grocerystore/movies/etc) and go about enjoying my life including dining out, etc.  But I make choices and when cases are really high, I'm likely to only dine outside or get takeout.
