Kill vaccines by killing ACA...

If they kill that ACA which mandates that preventative care like vaccines are covered 100%,they can attack vaccines in many ways.

They can then issue a decree that since there are some religious objections to vaccines, it would be a violation of their christofascist principles to force plan holders to absorb part of the cost as part of a religious freedom argument.

Consequently, vaccines go from 100% coverage to NO ALLOWED coverage. So, only the rich can afford it. Furthermore, it would allow them to ban it from Medicare and Medicaid. No shingles. No RSV. No polio boosters for the poor and old when polio becomes endemic in the US again.

Added bonus it kills off a lot of old people as flu, RSV, and polio wipe out the old.

Just trying to think like a christofascist while I can't sleep and taking the logical (in their minds) consequences of how to combine religious freedom arguments (christofascist versions are the only versions free to operate) and their fascist plans to kill off the old and poor.

Of course, they aren't smart enough to realize that this counteracts the abortion ban and gutting of public education and the long game of trying to generate millions of poor workers willing to work for minimum wage or sub current minimum wage as well as forcing people who previously lived on social security back into the market for jobs this creating a glut of workers and driving wages down.
