The ACA mandates that all health insurance plans must cover all vaccines recommended by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
So what happens when they're no longer recommended is they're no longer required to be covered.
Other rules elsewhere are also tied to ACIP.

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

Hey websites, just so you know, when you make it impossible to report a bug in your code, that code stays there and continues to effect your users!

I’m old enough to remember the strike that happened a whole year ago because companies like Netflix claimed they don’t have enough money to pay residuals to actors for their work. Netflix has $82 Billion to buy Warner Bros.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

A singer-songwriter friend would like people to know that while boycotting Spotify is great, it was also 16% of their income that is now cratering. So if you're cancelling Spotify, please pair that with buying music, merch, or live tickets directly from your favorite artists

Showing people that they aren't alone should not be reserved for times when things work. Queer rights for one, many older queer people truly never thought they'd see an accepting world, but did that stop them from fighting for it? Ofc not. Fighting is the most important when you think you'll lose.

"Text that nobody reads" why are you putting it in the game then. Why are you assuming your players won't want to interact with the environment you've created. It seems a lack of faith in their world building, or their audience, both of which are troubling.
