I live in Northern Virginia.
Wife and I are in our 80's and are very diligent about health matters. I took our COVID vaccination records to our local pharmacy and asked the pharmacist if we are up-to-date on the vaccinations. She told us, NO, we need the "new vaccine," however, they have it on order and do not know when they will receive it.
I called our primary care physician, who works at a local medical center that is a Level 1 med center. Same answer -- yes, you need the new vaccine, yes, we have it on order, no, we don't know when we will receive it.

Think you are jumping to the wrong conclusion, although it's difficult determining truth under trump.

Is this a serious post???? It's RFK JR not JFK JR. The latter died in a plane crash decades ago.
