As we roll into the end of December - if you catch Covid from your friends/family/coworkers and are uninsured or underinsured.

Please utilize the PAXCESS program through Pfizer. It will provide free Paxlovid until end of the day December 31st, 2025. Then the program is done.

Liars gonna lie. Trump's "warrior dividend" is not coming from tariffs.

Instead, "More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks."

Votes over troop housing, seems like.

📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

Why is hepatitis B vaccination in infancy so important?

Because HBV isn’t just “a disease adults get.” And babies are exposed to more blood in everyday life than most people realize.
