I agree. And will share with the people who paid I know. See if there is a tip section. As I did not pay.
Scientists are working on vaccines that spread like a disease. What could possibly go wrong?
thebulletin.org
They do bill people's insurance companies for the materials used to administer the vaccine. If you aren't covered by Medicare or Medicaid, they ask for your insurance card and bill your insurance for the materials used, not the vaccine. That is how it was done when I got mine. IDK what they do if you aren't insured.
Scientists are working on vaccines that spread like a disease. What could possibly go wrong?
Once a COVID-19 vaccine is approved for public use, officials around the world will face the monumental challenge of vaccinating billions of people, a logistical operation rife with thorny ethical questions. What if instead of orchestrating complicated and resource-intensive campaigns to vaccinate humans against emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, we could instead stop the zoonotic diseases that sometimes leap from animals to people at their source? A small, but growing number of scientists think it’s possible to exploit the self-propagating properties of viruses and use them to spread immunity instead of disease. Can we beat viruses like SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus, at their own game?
Self-spreading vaccines could indeed entail serious risks, and the prospect of using them raises challenging questions.
Who decides, for instance, where and when a vaccine should be released? Once released, scientists will no longer be in control of the virus. It could mutate, as viruses naturally do. It may jump species. It will cross borders. There will be unexpected outcomes and unintended consequences. There always are.
While it may turn out to be technically feasible to fight emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, AIDS, Ebola, and Zika with self-spreading viruses, and while the benefits may be significant, how does one weigh those benefits against what may be even greater risks?

Self-spreading vaccines that use viruses to confer immunity instead of disease among wild animals could help stop animal diseases from jumping to humans, quashing the next pandemic before it starts. But the new technology is not without risks.
hmm, yes, what could possibly go wrong?Scientists are working on vaccines that spread like a disease. What could possibly go wrong?

Who says American, Canadian or European scientists will unleash this wonder on the world? Soon many countries will have the technological means to do this and after that, small organizations and even individuals. The world will not be destroyed by nuclear weapons, self replicating Nano machines (viruses) are another matter all together. Technology empowers the individual and some individuals are mad.
How much does the COVID-19 vaccine cost?
The vaccine was paid for by the govt. The materials used to give the injection were billed to my insurance. I don't know what the costs were. Nothing out of my pocket.
An outbreak in the city close to me had 20ish positives from the construction site now it’s grown to 50ish due to family contact. This shit is real, get the fucking shot
. Maybe someday I’ll be able to fly and see my oldest daughter, it’s going on 2 years .
As a concrete mixer driver at the third largest construction company here we have at least six large projects (two hospital sites and 4 high rises) on the go right now and only one site is taking it seriously. The rest wear no masks and five or six guys stand a foot apart, the curb and sidewalk crews are even worse with like 9 guys in a row that all hop in pickups with no masks. Thankfully it's outside and I'm usually in the cab or perched above them on my pedestal. I have flat out refused to work the chute like I normally do, thankfully it's optional. I have been openly laughed at and called stupid for protecting my family. Unbelievable stupidity!!An outbreak in the city close to me had 20ish positives from the construction site now it’s grown to 50ish due to family contact. This shit is real, get the fucking shot
Yes stupidity!!! I went into the office last week only to find a few running around without masking up. The one guy I told to put a fucking mask on is now waiting to get tested due to close exposure. People just don’t seem to get it. If he tests positive we will be shutting down and an office wide testing will have to be done
. I know I’m not stepping foot in that place again “ever” lol. 4 years then they can suck my balls and I’ll pension out. A year ago I loved my job, now I hate it because of all the assholes this virus has exposed.
The owner is a moron for not enforcing mask rules, shutting down, cleaning and illness all disrupt business and cost money. Perhaps you should just report people to the government directly, pull out your phone and call the cops, don't say a word, let them pay the fine. They don't give a fuck about you, why should you care about them paying a fine? It's not like there isn't a fucking major crises there!Yes stupidity!!!

I'm not sure where this idea that your family and friends are impervious to covid comes from, but my wife had to rat out our neighbours in our daycare bubble for having a family sleep over with both sets of grandparents, cousins and another neighbor kid.Yes stupidity!!!

FYI, every dry-iced shipment of vaccine is shipped with a box containing EVERY supply needed down to swabs and alcohol and bandages.
