So now we can legally buy fully automatic machine guns, but not a lifesaving miracle of medical science, that we all paid for.
Republicans are a death cult, through and through.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is the prelude to a total ban on all vaccines.
I thought they were the "Keep government out of my body!" party. Seems like a lot of bending over for Uncle Sam's schlong going on. What happened to "the right to choose which vaccines we take"?
Nah. They just want to impose decisions they think will harm minorities more on people
Vinay Prasad is the guy who said if you die, no one cares and your family will forget you even existed.
Tells me everything I need to know about his relationship with his family. Dude must be miserable.
Is there a way that a vaccine can be "cloned" do that younger people can take them anyway?
It's technically possible for additional manufacturers to produce it, but making anything more sophisticated than the original smallpox vaccine is tough enough that you're not going to do it at home. The cold chain requirement for distribution means that it's unlikely that we're going to see an effective black market for vaccines either.
