proposed restrictions on covid vaccines

[redbird]

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.

Also, that public docket for comments is currently not loading.

The link worked for me just now.

I made a mistake copying the post from here to my own journal, which removed, which I have now fixed.

Is this a catch-22? The form says "Do not submit personally identifiable information through this form." So I clicked "Anonymous," and my comment doesn't go through. I check "not a robot," hit "submit," and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Okay, false alarm; sorry! Refreshed the page, copy/pasted the comment, and it went right through. Maybe I took "too long" to type the initial comment? <shrug> Who knows?
