So a drug pill is not an invasion of the body but a vax shot is? Scared of needles?

To him it makes more sense for the patient to be the one who decides what medical care is received

Personally, I am ok with dropping the mandates for vaccines if the anti-viral drug gets full approval, as long as it's covered by insurance or reasonably inexpensive.
We also need a pretty big expansion and subsidizing of rapid tests for those anti-viral drugs to be effective from a community spread standpoint. They don’t work unless you take them very early after developing symptoms and testing positive.
I don't think a pill should be mandated either.

I didn’t realize that was Junebug, who is an attorney. He is arguing a position, not being reasonable.
To him it makes more sense for the patient to go through the health care system and be treated for COVID than to take a vaccination (free to the patient) to minimize the severity of the illness and transmission.
There you have it

Junebug, are you against all vaccine mandates or just COVID mandates?
I doubt hospitals would be very excited about insurers denying coverage for the non-vaccinated.
Yep.
Potentially more workable to significantly raise copayments and whatnot rather than categorically deny. And communicate this clearly to all parties. It’d be a mess to sort out and deal with appeals, etc. But it’s already pretty messy and the hope would be that a lot of folks unable to appreciate the wisdom of getting vaccinated to protect their (and others) health will act to save money…?!
