Agreed. I've said publicly that I think that COVID-19 is now similar in terms of population burden to influenza.
People take this to mean that I think it's not an issue at all. Quite the opposite! Having influenza x2 is pretty shit and a big problem for us moving forward.

Just to reiterate:
“It’s just the flu” is something that no serious scientist or person in healthcare would ever say. Influenza is brutal and can kill people of any age. It’s awful. You don’t want it. Get your #flushot

"The flu sucks" is a perfectly good reason to get a flu shot.

Same question applies to any number of lawsuits that the Biden administration is currently engaged in on reproductive rights and Medicare drug price negotiation.
And if the Trump administration won't persist in those cases, when will other organizations have standing — and resources — to step in?

A big question, particularly with RFK Jr.'s nomination to be Secretary of HHS: Will the Trump Administration defend the ACA's requirement to provide preventive services, including vaccinations? It's currently being challenged in the courts.
