Did You Pay For Your Vaccine (insurance or private pay)?

[HairyChick]

I ask because my town is giving the vaccine in a new location. They advertise that it’s free and no cost.

But they require everyone to bring your health insurance documentation. In tiny print it does say that no one is turned away.


I’m thinking that the commonwealth is reimbursed by the government. The government is therefore paying for the vaccine for uninsured people.

Who is making up the lost money for this?

They’re saying that you need a yearly shot against Covid plus maybe more if more variants are found.

The pandemic is crippling business. Where is the money for this disaster for the next few years going to come from? Is Amazon going to suddenly fork over seventy million dollars? Is Bill Gates going on stop providing for charity and pay tens of millions in taxes?

[Grapesoda]

ins for me. who is making the most money? directly? I'd say the pharmaceutical companies and investors, plus some high level bureaucrats (senators etc.) probably about 20% graft and fraud off the top. I wouldn't worry about amazon and gates. nothing you can do with them except aggravate yourself.

If anyone thinks that this is about ANYTHING except money, they are naive.

Remember remdesvir? Everyone saying that everything but remdesvir doesn't help at all, and suddenly WHO declares remdesvir does nothing and it goes all quiet about it. It was $3k per treatment, and countless people got this rather then something that could potentially help. It didn't do ANYTHING but they made out like bandits because they paid for marketing, and troll farms to talk shit about HCQ on forums. They made it seem like remdesvir is humanity's only hope.

However, no one speaks about ivermectin (https://vimeo.com/490351508), which is near 100% effective according to a doctor that testified in front of congress/senate/whatever a while ago. Also no one speaks about amantadine, yet some doctor here cured thousands of people using it and it took around 9 months before the ministry of health even agreed to start funding a drug trial for it. Why? because these are old medicines that are super cheap. They're too cheap. The pandemic cannot be allowed to end for a few cents per head.

The pharmaceutical companies will juice covid for every penny it's worth. Booster shots every year, or better yet every 6 months.

I am never getting that shot. Fuck flying. If anyone supports a covid passport, please remember that by agreeing to the very concept of a vaccination passport you are agreeing to all future vaccinations. Maybe this one is ok, but maybe the next one won't be.

They tested amantadine here in Denmark, but almost no effect. Might be because to many have gotten it before against the more common influenza - havent had time to look into the data

Here in Poland they give them for free, so I've got my shot scheduled on May 11th with AstraZeneca.

[CurrentlySober]

All Free here in the UK on the NHS...

Still waiting... age lowered to 16 yet the place listed closest to me on the State's website is not taking anyone that has not been a patient in the past 3 years. Whether you live in the community or not.

Now that is fucked up!

The location they emailed me for making an appointment is almost 2 miles away. Where it is walk-able... Its at the new stadium... so a 2 mile walk to be herded like cattle for hours.

This whole fucking thing is a total cluster fuck!

Originally they had a vaccine site at Foxboro Stadium, home of the Patriots. Ninety minutes away and a six hour wait. Now you can go to the old Best Buy store across town Closed business locations make sense for providing jobs and rent and ease of getting there.

CVS myself

Department of Defense paid for mine.

Those vaccines cost a few dollar and 30% profit for Bill Gates.
On my insurance papers is printed they will pay, if i wanted a vaccin.
Also that i get 100% insurance when i end up in hospital due to covid.

Where the money is coming from?; well they printed 25% new money the last months.
So the medicine is getting cheaper everyday cause of inflation.
I would worry more about the housing price than the medicine price.

They asked for my insurance card when processing my info.

I don't know if insurance is covering it or the government, but I have not heard of anyone paying out of pocket in the US.
