As far as I know, the Government has quit paying for covid vaccines, which means it's unlikely the poor or those with high deductible insurance will get them. I believe Pfizer was looking at charging $120-130 a shot which puts it out of reach for the vast majority of the working poor.

Then we're going to see a second pandemic. Fantastic.
