We can make significant progress in eliminating childhood obesity and food insecurity.

Imagine the progress we'd see if policies like free school meals, the #ChildTaxCredit and SNAP were made permanent?

Over 90,000 deaths from #COVID19 since June likely could have been prevented by vaccination, according to our latest estimates w/@PetersonCHealth.

More than half of these deaths occurred in September alone. https://t.co/ud5ibVatlm

"Those refusing Covid-19 vaccines inflict a greater burden on the taxpayer & risk higher insurance premiums for businesses and workers, & impose indirect costs like risking the health & safety of others & prolonging the country’s economic recovery." https://t.co/IJVYGohckJ

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Today, the 5 most vaccinated states (14M people) had

580 people in hospital, 12 deaths

In the 5 least vaccinated states (16M people)?

6,600 hospitalized, 104 deaths

Per capita , least vaccinated states have

10X hospitalizations and 7X deaths

So yeah, vaccines are working
