US Politics concerning ACIP & Vaccines
We tried to get the new Moderna mRNA Flu vaccine, but it was not covered by our insurance, and would have cost us $219 each at Walgreens. So we ended up getting the regular shot.
ACIP is in chaos right now, as RFK Jr's changes were blocked but he has not appointed anyone new. This means guidance for insurers has been halted, and new vaccines might not get covered.

Victoria Broderick just won in TN-4 without @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy ever knowing her name.
@abdulelsayed.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy won in Michigan and @schumer.senate.gov@bsky.brid.gy did the opposite of help him.
The idea that those 2 take credit for this wave defies logic. They are not the "leaders" 🇺🇸 just voted for.
🔥 @troyjackson207 hell yeah
There’s always money for bombs and tax cuts for the rich, never for regular folks
They block government-sponsored health insurance while they all have it
THIS👇🏽 IS NOT RADICAL. Opposing it is. #MedicareForAllNOW
People sleeping in cars overnight, hoping to get free healthcare at a popup clinic outside of Washington D.C. This is how bad US health care has become. It's a shared link so the story should be accessible.
Screw you Elon Musk. Effing white supremacist Nazi saluting a-hole.
You can’t buy elections dickweed.

“The results of these elections don’t demonstrate a mere interest in accountability for what Trump and his administration have done to us the past two years; they represent a demand to begin the arduous task of reweaving the fabric of this country from scratch,” writes Marisa Kabas: https://www.thehandbasket.co/p/midterm-mandate-blue-tsunami-democrats-power
Elon Musk is top of my list for immediate consequences -- betrayed Ukraine, betrayed the United States, each with his Starlink capitulation to Putin, the irrational glee he took with his DOGE terrorism. Everyone of his DOGE boys better lawyer up too. We can't have an Hostile Foreign Agent, compromised by Putin, running NASA and the DoD and our defense assets, and that's essentially what we've got.
