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.

Seriously, this is just exhausting.

Insanely. Thanks for the heads-up.

(I'm eligible by chronic conditions but I'll be a lot safer if other people are eligible just by showing up.)

I'm still boggling that people are prepared to humiliate themselves in public by arguing that "herd immunity" is a desirable goal while "herd vaccination" is supposedly not for $£ some $£ reason.
