The clowns running the FDA have proposed restricting access to covid vaccines, to people over 65 or who have certain medical conditions. There's a public docket for comments on the proposal.
Your Local Epidemiologist has a good post about the proposal, including that the people suggesting this know that nobody is going to do the placebo-controlled tests of new boosters they want to require.
Possible talking points include:
Families and caregivers wouldn't be eligible for the vaccine, even if they share a household, unlike the current UK recommendations.
Doctors, dentists, and other medical staff wouldn't be eligible either.
My own comment included that the reason I'd still be eligible for the vaccine is a lung problem caused by covid.
Seriously, this is just exhausting.

Yeah, I am so angry about that! We are officially Old People, but our daughter is in the "No vaccine for you, Boo Boo!" category, not to mention nieces and nephews and friends' adult and minor kids and our dentist and my physical therapy guys and so many more.
