25% of Drs in US are foreign grads. Many are on an H1B visa. This will hit health systems hard especially rural hospitals and hospitals in underserved areas that sponsor these visas through waiver programs. The old cost was about 5000$ a year.

Mr. President: Operation Warp Speed & the COVID vaccine were a success. As you have stated, they saved “tens of millions of lives.”
Vaccines have also helped eliminate polio, measles and mumps.
Vaccines work. Let us listen to doctors and scientists, not conspiracy theorists.

How many pandemics must I send before humans once again learn to revere scientists?
How many millions must die? Not trying to be dramatic, just earnestly inquiring for My Notes.

25 years ago measles was declared eliminated in the United States due to the success of vaccination. In 2024, there were outbreaks in 33 states, 90% of which were in the unvaccinated.
