Viral infections can be unpredictable. So why roll the dice when you have access to a vaccine that makes a difference. In the US, flu vaccine is recommended for everyone not just select groups. I am on clinical service through to the new year. The hospitals are filled with flu. Help us help you.

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.
We Had 400 People Shop For Groceries. What We Found Will Shock You.
