COVID SHOT COMES AT A PRICE NO LONGER FREE

PROTECTION COMES AT A PRICE

By: Derek Varsalona

Oh, the good old days,  when the Covid vaccine was free.  Remember kiddos nothing is free in life.  Someone somewhere is paying for it somehow.  In this case, the payee is the taxpayers so the poor can get a free ride.  But not any longer.  The taxpayers are bailed out of this one.

The American government thanks to dementia-ridden Joe Biden has eliminated the free Covid Vaccines.  It was the Democrats who were milking the poor with the elimination of the Bridge Access Program, which gave people free vaccinations.  Now, people are going to have to pay at least $200 a shot.  That is because the government let the insurance program lapse and now it is defunct.  Thank you President Biden for making the COVID shot inaccessible to the poor the very people you are trying to help.

With the lack of funding, the nation's poor will not get the Covid shot.  The minorities, mainly blacks, have been not getting the shot at a higher rate than their counterparts.  

So the government failed us again.  Remember kiddos nothing is free, someone is paying for it somewhere.  Now, with inflation, the cost of getting the shot for coronavirus is inflated at $200.00  A shot of alcohol at your local bar is cheaper than that.  As always comments accepted.
