It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
