Yeah, I remember even Dr. Offit mentioned One of his main frustrations with the booster messaging was that instead of making it for high-risk individuals, we instead recognized it for everybody, bypassing some of the usual approval steps.

Even the newly appointed surgeon general makes statements on podcasts saying all doctors are ignoring chronic health conditions. I don't know, I've been practicing medicine for 11 years. We're not ignoring it. That's our conversation all the time.

Yeah. I look at the HHS administration as it exists today, and they talk about fighting back against chronic diseases, fixing our nutrition.
