Standing there insisting this is all somehow Democrats' fault because they won't support *your* budget -- a budget that explicitly wages war on Democratic constituencies and Democratic programs -- when you refuse to negotiate or compromise at all is just ludicrously laughably stupid.

😡 In anticipation of what happened today, I got last year's booster again from Kaiser two days ago. Looks like I did it just in time.

Regarding effectiveness at preventing shingles, I think this study includes mostly people who received an earlier, less effective form of the vaccine? The study period began in 2013. My understanding is that the newer vaccine, Shingrix, is much more effective at preventing shingles.

I did the same thing. I'm under 65 and have no qualifying medical conditions, so didn't want to chance not being approved for the new booster.

I just got another round of last season's booster this afternoon. I'm under 65 with no qualifying health conditions, so decided getting last year's was my best bet at this point.

No Kings! But nothing is happy about this 4th.

I'm waiting for Big Eyes and The Little Kitty to weigh in. The female constituency appears to be left out of these negotiations.

Me too!
