Anyway, I'm just feeling spiteful today. Lmao. Wherever you are anymore, JHA, die mad. Good night y'all. Trans Fucking Rights.

That transition will require working through regulatory issues, market dynamic issues and equity issues, he explained.

"Right now, everybody can walk into a CVS and get a vaccine. I want to make sure that when we make this transition, we don't end up at a point where nobody can get a vaccine because we didn't get the transition right," he said.

A deal for $10 billion in additional COVID funds did not pass Congress this year, so funding was shifted from increasing testing supplies and protective equipment in the national stockpile to buying updated vaccine boosters that offer some protection against new variants of the virus, such as the Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, CNN reported.

Those are expected in early to mid-September.

"I would like to get to a point where every adult in America who wants a vaccine can get one. I'm hopeful we will be there. We're not quite there yet in terms of how many vaccine doses we've been able to buy," Jha said.

"One of the things we've spent a lot of time thinking about in the last many months ... is getting us out of that acute emergency phase where the U.S. government is buying the vaccines [treatments, and tests]" Jha said.

"My hope is that in 2023, you're going to see the commercialization of almost all of these products. Some of that is actually going to begin this fall, in the days and weeks ahead. ..." he added, CNN reported.

No source link because the quotes are the same across multiple news sites; search-engine for confirmation if you wish.

The booster news is good but the first couple of paragraphs are worrying. Massive potential to widen inequality and harm people who are already without means to access healthcare, thereby creating a domino effect where reinfection just keeps cycling and putting millions more out of work and into states of disability. I don't understand how Jha "hopes" to "commercialize everything" and still somehow keep any of these things accessible to people.
