do you know how overwhelming the evidence has to be for insurance to voluntarily cover something
Because the vaccine prevents chronic hepatitis B for which there is no cure and the lifelong treatment costs more than a single birth dose of the vaccine. Insurance companies recognize this is a no brainer.
Brought to you by prevention beats treatment any day.

Just a minor KISS anecdote while we're on the subject:
Ace Frehley once owned a genuine 1959 Gibson Les Paul (the Holy Grail of electric guitars), pawned it to pay for a weekend in Vegas with the idea he'd gamble enough to buy it back, and then went bust.
They were kind of dipshits on many levels.

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

And no reviewers objected? WTF.🧪
