In the end, Dr. Cassidy had to choose between being a senator and being a doctor who had taken an oath to do no harm. He had to choose between his career and the lives of Americans.
He chose himself.
And now he has to live with the consequences of that choice.

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).
This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.
