Well, it makes traveling from where I live to certain places a bit more expensive and less convenient. But that's OK. It's worth it to avoid the USA.
You're not that interesting.
Between $65-per-year and the fact that a costco run is at least a hundred bucks. Haha. 200. Who am I kidding? This means that the bottom socioeconomic 2/3 of society is mostly excluded.
The absolute rudest people I regularly encounter are Tesla drivers and theme park guests (more so at Universal Resort than Disney World).
What about the ones that speak loudly, are on their phones all the time, don't move their carts, act entitled, basically behaving like animals? Do they also drive Teslas?
I've got a family of 4. I'm fully expecting this to eventually settle into boosters every 6 months. I'm looking at this as an annual cost of $130 * 4 * 2 = $1040. That's not insignificant for most people who don't have health insurance.
All of that said, health insurance is required to cover this, so in the end that $130 figure is just a starting point for negotiations with the insurance companies. They'll negotiate some lower number, it gets factored into insurance rates. And ultimately regularly vaccinating people is going to be a lot cheaper than not vaccinating people and paying for more hospital visits. So in the end we wind up with insurance rates that are higher than 2019 levels but lower than they'd be without the vaccines. And people without insurance are screwed.
How can people be so gullible like this? It's not going to magically start working because you're (directly) paying for it now.
The earth is like a tiny grain of sand, only much, much heavier.
