RFK Jr.'s COVID Rule Remix: Asthma Gets VIP Vaccine Pass
On August 27, 2025, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aka SecKennedy, dropped a COVID vaccine remix thatās basically a ticket gate tightening for healthy folks. The FDA said bye-bye to emergency use for Pfizer and Moderna mRNA shots and gave booster VIP passes only to those 65+ or with funky conditions like asthma, heart issues, AND wait for it... depression! Yes, skipping flights or Netflix binges could count as a COVID risk. Kids under 5 are cartoon orphans now, relying on doc discretion off-label. Shots cost around $140, but insurers and workplaces are playing vaccine-coverage limbo until the CDC weighs in. Meanwhile, the Infectious Diseases Society of America warns that limiting jabs risks millions of lives. Plus, Raymond James analysts predict fewer shots equals more 'COVID parties.' Welcome to the post-pandemic, consult-your-doc passport season!
