    I’ve never owned a stuffed animal (that I remember). Never thought I’d own one either. But today I met Trunky, sitting with his herd in a bin. I couldn’t leave without him. Seriously. Let’s all buy stuffed elephants. The joy this has. Call it a pandemic purchase.

    You know what narrows racial disparities in childhood vaccination rates - making them free! You know what narrows racial disparities in adult flu vaccination rates - a provider simply offering it to Black people! In the US, vaccination acceptance rates are ALL. ABOUT. ACCESS.
