Remember that the majority of anti-vaxxers are themselves vaccinated against diseases like polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and rubella.
It’s only their kids they choose to put at risk.

After you put in your zip code, if there aren't many results then click on "see nearby pantries" and it'll give you a map with everything on it.

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
