The move comes a few days after White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha confirmed on Tuesday that the Biden Administration had taken steps to get past the crisis phase of the pandemic and stop buying vaccines, treatments, and tests as early as fall.
“One of the things we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about in the last many months…is getting us out of that acute emergency phase where the U.S. government is buying the vaccines, buying the treatments, buying the diagnostic tests,” Jha said at an event sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
If people have to pay out of pocket fewer people are going to get jabbed; I doubt many people are going to want to fork over money for the shot. Moreover, insurance companies are not likely to quietly go along with shots which create other health problems insurance has to cover—insurance companies may very well find in the best interests of their bottom line not to cover the mRNA inoculations.
Other challenges include the timetable each drug or vaccine manufacturer has for when they want to move into the commercial market. Also, Medicare and Medicaid, federal insurance programs for older and lower-income people respectively, don’t cover antivirals because they are only approved under an emergency-use authorization.
Which means short of recalling the jabs altogether, the Biden Regime not buying the jabs may be the best option for keeping the jabs out of people's arms.
"I guess we should stop buying things hardly anyone will take anymore, even if they're free?"
My understanding is that the regime has already contracted for ~170 million doses of new, bi-valent (Wuhan & BA5) shots, and I really doubt anywhere near that many people will roll up their sleeves for them.
The Government May Be About To Do Something Smart About The mRNA Inoculations
