Illinois has opened up COVID vaccine appointment availability to Group 1b+. This group includes people who are aged 18-64 who have serious health concerns, including chronic kidney disease, cancer, and COPD. Or like me, you were once a smoker. This feels like a really lame loophole, but I’m taking it.
Through a similarly weak loophole (glaucoma diagnosis), I got my medical marijuana card, so I guess that’s the kind of weasel I am.
