So 1 tomahawk cruise missile = 300 people. So far in the war against Iran the US has used 400,000 people’s worth of missiles. Priorities! Thus also cuts to SNAP, ACA, childcare, etc.

Kennedy has insisted covid shots are still easy to obtain, claiming that @hassan.senate.gov was “making things up to scare people.”

But The Post talked to people who are struggling to get the vaccine. Elaine Cox, a 68-year-old with lung disease, said she wept after being denied a prescription.
![In a combative appearance before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Kennedy bristled when Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) accused the Trump administration of taking steps that deny people vaccines.
"Everybody can get the vaccine. You're just making things up," Kennedy said. "You're making things up to scare people, and it's a lie."
In Virginia, Elaine Cox said she and her husband asked their doctor for a prescription before leaving Saturday for a vacation in Italy. The office declined because it hadn't received CDC guidance. Cox, 68, suffers from chronic lung disease, and her nephew died of the viral infection in 2022.
"I was crying this afternoon about this," she said on Thursday. "My family takes [covid] very seriously."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6wwty6iar2ya7heph6d25cw3/bafkreicubujwawlbrb2fadzes7dsqupwbvejopcwwfyut7qji6aogbs2je)
