Republicans pinky swear. Eight Democrats fall for it.
They traded some short-term holiday cheer for Project 2025's anti-science, anti-data, anti-woman, and anti-medicine agenda to infiltrate healthcare if they uphold their promise in December.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).
This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.
