Only those who are over 65 years of age or have a “high-risk health condition” will be permitted to receive the 2025 COVID vaccine.
this is a terrible development from a public health standpoint but from a personal standpoint if you want the vaccine: lie. lie your ass off.
your pharmacist won’t ask what the qualifying health condition is (i don’t think they’re even allowed to), just make you check a box on the paperwork that you have one. your insurance may not pay for/reimburse you for the vaccine, but that won’t keep you from getting it (as long as you can afford it - obviously big separate problem there.)
anecdotally: i have done this for years and no one cares. i’ve gotten a covid booster every 6 months for the past four years by checking the high risk box and absolutely no one has batted an eye, including my insurance, who theoretically probably know i don’t have a qualifying condition.
so lie your ass off and go get your shot!
You may not even have to lie. Here’s a list of “high risk” conditions.

Hey so FUN FACT, the CDC says THIS:

Not being vaccinated is ITSELF a risk factor for severe COVID outcomes, so CONGRATS EVERYONE, you don’t even have to lie.

I humbly suggest that true crime freaks should get into learning about scammers instead of serial killers. I LOVE reading about fraud and grifts and pyramid schemes. true crime ppl have all this paranoid energy about murder, which is rare in the grand scheme of things…..maybe instead that could be channeled into some productive rage toward capitalism.
And u know a side effect of learning about scam artists is that you start to understand certain things about economics, and just how STUPID these systems are and how easily they are taken advantage of….and I’d much rather people gained a passing familiarity with economics than whatever armchair psychologist shit these true crimers get on. We need fewer people who think they’re experts on “sociopaths” and more people who understand how people like Elizabeth Holmes and the WeWork guy were able to do what they did
Here are some of my favorite books about financial scams:
So many so called progressives obsessed with policing consenting adults sex lives might as well be puritanical Christians.
“It’s problematic.” Just say sinful, you know you want to.
A 25 year old and a 50 year old want to fuck? None of your business. A couple wishes to roleplay different power dynamic scenarios? None of your business. Someone has a rape/dubcon fantasy they wish to play out in a safe, consensual setting? None of your business. Someone wishes to participate in group sex with 20 other people at the same time? None of your business.
Literally none of your fucking business what consenting adults do to each other in the privacy of their own spaces.
“In the same way that your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don’t, then it doesn’t.” – Brennan Lee Mulligan, D20, Fantasy High
what they dont tell you about being loudly transgender is sooner or later someone will say you helped/were the reason they transitioned and you just have to. sit with that for a while and how wonderful it is that a person can inspire others to take better care of themselves like that. the louder you are the better, you help strangers more than you know
