True. They're about to find out what it means to vote for these things. Raise the minimum wage, tax billionaires out of the country, shut down all the corporations. There's a direct correlation between cause and effect. Those of us who've been here a while see how it works. Spin people up against the rich so they clamor to implement policies that ultimately make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

The idea is completely workable and possible, just not yet. Companies like Abbott and Siemens are invested heavily in improving point of care patient testing using rapid testing on miniature devices of small amounts of blood.. A lot of their goals for the future sound like what Theranos was claiming to be able to do today.

A warning label by itself is the wrong approach. Here's the harsh reality: Most folks don't get to decide which vaccine they receive. They get whatever that particular distribution location uses. Some use Moderna, some use Pfizer, some use J&J. A *few* have access to more than one. So arriving at the vaccination center and being told, "BTW, there's a seven in a million chance you'll die from a blood clot" is a great way to guarantee that either A. young women ignore it and we have several hundred easily preventable deaths, B. a bunch of people freak out and don't get vaccinated, or C. some combination of the above. All of these are considered bad outcomes.

The right way to do it is to handle this at the scheduling level. Ensure that people are scheduled at centers on days when the best vaccine for them is available. That means scheduling younger women for centers and at times when the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine is available unless they specifically request a single-dose vaccine, in which case you read them the warning label and get their affirmative consent at scheduling time and accept their decision...

... While this articles reports that suicides are down, other reports say sucides are UP. Who do you believe? Which reporting group has the strongest motivation to lie, that is, misreport or mis-classify the deaths. Personally, the source for this post is thoroughly lacking when other sources came out previously and on the opposite side of the argument.!
