I am a healthcare worker and I live in a red state. Today I tried to get my COVID vaccine and I was told I was not eligible.

I was shown a list of qualifying conditions and one of them is mental disorder.

I told the pharmacist that I am crazy; therefore, I am eligible for thhttps://www.cdc.gov/covid/index.htmle vaccine.

      Maybe, but the insurance companies that would normally pay the insanely marked up price do care and will arbitrarily choose the option (of paying the bill or billing you) that profits them the most. The plan was always to kill poor people in every little bureaucratic way possible.

      I’m sure as pharmacists who (hopefully) believe in science, they would prefer you lie and tell them you have a condition and need the shot.
