    Friends daughter turned five last week. They went to 3 pharmacies but none had pediatric COVID vax dose. Their pediatrician’s office only offers it at periodic clinics, the next of which is about a month away. Now she has COVID.

    But for a lot of people who is in the White House or making the laws does impact their personal lives in a very real way.

    Trump called for "massive" drug price declines. Azar asked for restraint... What we got: 104 price increases in June and the first two days of July, per Wells Fargo. That followed 48 increases in May.

    What about if we changed our elections process so all this fundraising wasn’t allowed or necessary to begin with? Seems like a terrible waste or resources.

    A friend texted me today because his wife’s boss is testifying in congress tomorrow on veteran suicide. I told him it would probably not get a lot of attention tomorrow given kavanaugh hearing and Rosentsein meeting. He said: someone should cover other important things too.

    Kennedy’s explanation of the hold up on Novavax’s covid vax approval neither scientifically accurate or legally aligned with FDA’s legal authority, experts say.
    HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. commented on Novavax's delayed vaccine decision during a 9 April TV interview.

    Wondering about the journalism ethics of speculating about a public official’s medications and also commenting on weight in general.

    CDC is offically going to recommend double-masking (cloth over a "procedure" surgical mask or disposable mask) or taking steps to adjust mask fit so they are tighter.
