      Ah, but the mistake is to think when they say “My body my choice” it implies a universal principle. The fascist mindset doesn’t work like that. While we would generalize “My body my choice” to “Each person’s body their own choice”, a fascist generalizes it to “Each person’s body my choice.”

    I couldn’t find specific numbers but I believe it to be around 5% of the population is over 75. So fucking everyone gets fucked basically.

    Under 75 here, at risk from Covid death because of heart trouble.

    All told, I think I had 7 or 8 covid shots? I dunno, I lost track after they stopped updating the cards.

    No illness, no covid, my 5G still sucks.

    This year I’m being told I can’t get the shot without a prescription, working on that.

      It’s saying that RFK Jr.'s panel is restricting access to vaccines based on unverified reports from the public of injuries that they interpreted as being due to the vaccines. These reports are untrustworthy because they have not been confirmed to been due to the vaccines - in fact they haven’t been confirmed to have happened at all. But RFK Jr. does not seem to understand or want to understand the difference between a scientific study and random people’s anecdotes, or how to prove or disprove a causal connection scientifically rather than going on an irrational hunch. If he and other antivaxers understood this they would have abandoned their whole campaign long ago.
