The CBO Finds Don’s Big Beautiful Bill Cuts $500 Billion from Medicare
As such, the bill most likely cannot pass in the Senate

Just spoke with my CDC sources
They said a new COVID-19 wave is hitting NYC and LA.
Cases up~20% this week expected to rise further over the next month.
Exactly 4 months since the January 20 peak, the virus is resurging.

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine.
It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions.
