I am a healthcare worker and I live in a red state. Today I tried to get my COVID vaccine and I was told I was not eligible.

I was shown a list of qualifying conditions and one of them is mental disorder.

I told the pharmacist that I am crazy; therefore, I am eligible for thhttps://www.cdc.gov/covid/index.htmle vaccine.

I'm in California, but we still (currently) have the same federal bullshit requirements. Doctor friend said I should lie.

Made an appointment, and the pharmacist asked if I was immunocompromised, or XYZ, and I just told them that I qualify---no follow up questions, just a jab in the arm.

To be fair, I do have anxiety that my government is trying to kill me, but that's just crazy...

    I got it at CVS in California and it was just a box you had to tick on the intake form, "I am qualified to receive the vaccine" lol. It was in same section that asks the standard stuff like, "are you allergic to stuff in this vaccine?" etc. No conversation about any of it at all.
