Two beautiful and challenging (in the best sense of the word) lines by poet Andrea Gibson (8/13/1975 - 7/14/2025):
"Everyone knows what you're against; show them what you're for."
"Why did I go so long believing I owed the world
my disappointment?"

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine.
It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions.
The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.
