As stated last year... Covid will change the insurance industry and I wouldn't be surprise if there will be legislature to try to control how insurance companies treat those that have been infected with Covid (e.g. disability insurance) and anti-vaxxers. It will impact costs and whom they decide has qualified for insurance. In addition, it will impact whom businesses decide to hire as employees because they do not want the increase liability of hiring an anti-vaxxer that could infect other employees or infect customers. I remember my first internship in college at a virology research lab. I had to provide proof of my vaccination history to be allowed to work there. If I was missing a specific vaccination...I would have been require to go see my doctor and get vaccinated and then show verification of such. wrbtrader
I remember that very well when I debated with him and other anti-vaxxers last year. Of course they argue that the United States never had a requirement for vaccination cards. I remember when eye check medical trucks and vaccination medical trucks would come to the elementary schools one month prior to fall session to vaccinate those that have not been vaccinated. I also remember when my parents had to bring in the vaccination cards of me and my siblings to the school administration prior to being allowed enrollment. The anti-vaxxers left the argument when I posted links to the U.S. vaccination card history of civilians and military. It was in a thread here in the political section about what has happen in history when a U.S. President ran for re-election during a virus health crisis in the United States and the President decided to make it political instead of treating it as a health crisis... Yep, its happen before and both times the President lost their re-election (Trump was the 2nd President to do such). He had his chance and blew it. As a kid, we had a few anti-vaxxers in our neighborhood. The school district would not allow them to enroll their children in the schools. They were then given the option to home school...some took that option and others moved out of the state to one of the few states that didn't have such strict requirements. I thought it was because we were a military family that moved around a lot until I learned that other families that were not military had to also show proof of vaccination. Further, I remember one particular anti-vaxxer family lost a child to a disease that the child should have been vaccinated against like the rest of the neighborhood. wrbtrader
Good question and we should. They charge more for smokers, so I don't see why they should make an exception for fat fucks. Going back to covid, eventually they will charge more. If for the insurance company it is a choice between a $50 shot or a 50K ICU bill, that is not really a hard decision. Once vaccinations are wildly available the insurance industry will start to push for it.
He might be right on the Vitamin D deficiency. Another doctor did a study on those infected with Corona Virus and found most had a Vitamin D deficiency. Taking Vitamin D3 would be way cheaper and probably, more effective than the dumb as hell lockdowns, social distancing and trying to wipe down everything but, do not tell the dumb extreme liberals including, our ET trolls. They think they know better. That doctor's approach then, since, there was no vaccine at the time was to boost one's immunity with Zinc Gluconate, Vitamin C and Vitamin D3. I started taking those vitamins then and told my friends and family too. It makes too much sense to just strengthen one's immune system so, the so called medical experts like Doctor Anthony Fauci make no mention of it.
