This also impacts adults, especially those with autoimmune diseases.
"Some people may suffer from severe complications, such as pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). They may need to be hospitalized and could die."

Hard to do when the head of the Sec. of HHS says vaccinations are dangerous.

Just today he cancelled the meeting to prepare for next season's flu vaccines ... people still die of the flu too

That vaccine works have happened a decade ago.

Yes and they should continue the flu vaccine but looks like that might not happen

Shit, sorry.
I wasn't paying attention to how badly autocorrect butchered that.

What I meant to say was, "They should have gotten that vaccine a decade or so ago.

You can't blame current events for a decision that old.

Sadly though, the real barrier to holding them accountable would be the "Supreme Court."
