Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill) has inserted a clause that would shift dietary supplements from over-the-counter availability to "prescription only" into an upcoming appropriations bill. While Durbin has tried this before and failed, he cited the pandemic as "another opportunity to strike while the iron is hot. A lot of the resistance to the government prescribed vaccination protocol for dealing with COVID comes from people who think they are qualified to manage their own health. The easy availability of supplements encourages these deviants to reject the medicine that science says they need."
"By requiring that a doctor's prescription must be obtained before a person can get dietary supplements we can get more control over the situation," the Senator explained. "First, doctors can earn money for writing prescriptions. They can't earn money when laymen can buy supplements at their own volition. Second, since doctors are licensed by the government the threat to withdraw their licenses ensures that they will abide by government directives on what to prescribe. This threat has been very effective in diminishing the use of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin despite indications that these prescription drugs could have saved the lives of many COVID patients. Finally, people who need their supplements to treat other diseases like high blood pressure or atherosclerosis can be pressured into taking the jab if they want to get a prescription for those supplements."
"We will be replacing the anarchy of free choice with a superior system that allows a broader scope for government management of the people's health," Durbin boasted. "Resources that might've been wasted on the ignorant choices of untrained individuals will be concentrated in the hands of the scientific experts. Decisions on who is treated and who is not, what medications are given and which withheld will be efficiently centralized."

Well, Australia has a “stay indoors” policy. This prevents people from getting free vitamin D from the sun.
We will have the same thing when unvaccinated people are either ordered to stay at home or are interned in special camps.
Of course, all US Senators represent their entire state…
I empathize that you are forced to little Dick Durbin in your grocery store, it would cause me to lose my appetite…..
