What an interesting idea, America. Maybe the EU needs to adopt a reciprocal policy. Perhaps add in visa rejections for unvaccinated Americans. Actually, let's prioritize the latter and do that first.

I mean, as a fatty who genuinely hopes to get to the EU one day, I pray they don't do that. But for unvaccinated folk? Unless it's for a legitimate medical reason, they absolutely should.
They've already started limiting who can get certain vaccines like COVID in the US, that would just create another way to keep people in the country. Creating a vaccine tourism industry would be smart though; discount vacations under the guise of "being under medical observation" for a few days if you're getting vaccinated.
Small note: in the end, access to COVID vaccines has not been limited. There was swirl around this that made it seem like they would be, but then the CDC landed on guidance that basically boils down to, “it’s an individual’s choice with the guidance of their healthcare provider.”
I was livid about the swirl because I am an immunocompromised person while my partner is not, and the initial guidance implied he would not have access to the vaccine, despite living with me.
I want everyone who can get vaccinated to do so, and so it’s important to me to stop the perception that anyone is restricted from accessing it.
No, the point is that they're limiting it by saying that its up to an individual and their professional because that gives leeway for insurance companies to choose not to cover the vaccine by having their own doctors argue against it.
And then you would have to take them to court to get them to actually pay which never happens majority of the time so by default peoples vaccinations are generally a lot less likely to continue being covered. Many people that could get the vaccine free before are either losing coverage soon or are only being guaranteed coverage through 2026 with no plans on after.
Exactly. I was told up front if insurance denied it I would be paying about $200-$300.
yea its horrible even in canada ive heard about the scariness of it all, and similar things are happening with other vaccines for children its absolutely fucked
Is that in every state, though? I thought some states and some companies were following anti-vaxxer nonsense and demanding that people under a certain age (65?) had to have some precondition.
Perhaps add in visa rejections for unvaccinated Americans
Is this not already a thing? Honestly can't remember.
If the US bans vaccines, Americans wanting to visit Europe can fly to Colombia, get vaccinated for free at the airport, and then fly to Europe.
We should be thin like Goering, blonde like Hitler, and tall like Goebbels
Enough projection for an IMAX theater.
For a drive in planetarium.
Says the fat man that is the son of an illegal immigrant.
Is ICE going to start targeting fat people for deportation next?
Wouldn’t that be self deportation?
Fat Spiderman meme.
It takes at least two of them fighting with all of their untrained might to take down a 110lb woman, there's no way they're arresting fat people.
This is the rot calling the kettle fat.
Call ICE on Trump.
"They require expensive long term care"? Who gives a fuck, it's not like our medical system will pay for it anyway. What the hell is this nonsense
crazy that tubby is talkin
He's already running a national weight loss program for the poor, and he doesn't want fat foreigners coming in and skewing his data.
Weight loss programs are expensive, he's such a nice president for offering that to our poor citizens. He really cares.
Fat pedo says what?
Killing the US tourism industry, slice by slice. I hope they are thankful for it.
It's not already dead? I'm pretty sure it died six months ago.
Says the fat bastard of presidents
Rich how the people cheering this on would be victims themselves.
LOL this cant be real
We need to trim the fat in the country!
Ok so cut military budget?
No I want to remove fat ppl!
How can it waste our medical resources when the government doesn't pay for our healthcare? lol
So long, then.
Say something hypocritical
Why? Isn't that bad?
Yes! They'll point it out smugly and feel like they contributed something so they won't go any further than that!
However, fat orange pedos who wear shit-filled diapers are welcome.
Fascinating. I see absolutely no issues, what a perfect idea!
It is funny the way hitlers ideal was tall and blond. I guess thats just how these type are.
Usually countries just make long term visa holders buy private health insurance, so really no excuses here.
Am I dreaming?
What do you bet that a fat Russian oligarch is more than welcome?
