Should health insurance providers discount those vaxxed?

[Chuck Naill]

Maybe listen to more people and maybe, just maybe those who know more than you and don’t agree with what you chose to do?? Otherwise, no clue.

[dneal]

Yes Chuck, that is exactly what you should do.

Or, you can listen to your pundits (who, like Fauci, are not epidemiologists).

I hope your grandkids didn't get the shot (seriously, the emerging data is not good).

[Chuck Naill]

They did and their reading skills improved.

All kidding aside, please look into some of the issues with the youngsters and the covid vaccine - mainly from the European sources. We're way too politicized on the topic in this country.

It's too early to know anything definitive; but the myocarditis rates are not good, there's some concern with neurological and autoimmune side effects, and there's emerging evidence correlating the spike protein and cancer.

I'm not trolling or trying to win anything here. Maybe it'll turn out to be nothing, but we're on the same side when it comes to protecting children.

[Chuck Naill]

I agree we are too politicized, but unfortunately, I can’t say I trust you, @dneal.

They are fine, no problems.

[dneal]

Not asking you to trust me. I’m asking that you apply your pharma experience in paying attention to emerging studies - the Germans and Danes in particular.

[Chuck Naill]

I trust the New England Journal of Medicine, The Medical Letter, and Journal of Infectious Diseases. Post me a study from those sources.

No thanks. You can do your own research.

[Chuck Naill]

Lol!! I have, but thank you for your input!

[dneal]

Yes, and you got covid anyway, just like the Cleveland Clinic study showed.

[Chuck Naill]

I had a cold for 10 days, never tested. Didn’t have a doctor at the time. Used Halls cough drops. 😂😂😂

[dneal]

So you were lying when you said you had Omicron?

[Chuck Naill]

So you were lying when you said you had Omicron?

I was suspicious, never tested. I guess this means you don't have a point?

[dneal]

Only that you're caught in a lie, and trying to weasel out of it now that it's inconvenient to your argument.

Par for the course.

About all those people who took the jab and were fine afterwards... until they suddenly dropped dead for no apparent reason in the prime of life and while in excellent physical condition... except for unexplained myocarditis...
Nah, only a gullible fool would think there might be a connection.
In fact, I have it on good authority that nobody who was vaxxed has died yet. In fact, it might turn out to be the key to eternal life.

[haroldawerben]

It makes sense to some extent since vaccines can reduce potential hospitalization costs, so it's like a proactive step to potentially lower claims.

When I negotiated my plan with covering florida, they offered me a small discount for being vaxxed. It wasn't a massive cut, but it did make me feel like my choice was recognized in some way.

Insurance cover vaccines and other preventive medical products and services because they reduce costs of other services. People who choose not to protect themselves suffer health and economic consequences.

Yes. People who are overweight, have a poor diet and do not exercise are a financial burden on those who live a healthy lifestyle. While they suffer health consequences (like increased vulnerability to covid and other diseases), the economic consequences are placed on everyone.

Americans in particular want "magic pills". Now they are taking diabetic medicine so they can continue to eat unhealthy quantities of food, to go along with statins so they can continue to eat unhealthy food.

Pharma is happy to profit off the ignorant and lazy, who scream for someone else to "do something" when they face the consequences of their poor decisions. Pay no attention to the fine print of side effects...

Obtained the RSV Vaccine this AM.

Medicare covers this vaccine at no cost. This is a one time vaccine.
