The cold and flu and COVID season is here. Millions of Americans are weighing when and whether to get their shots.

The approach exemplified by Operation Warp Speed should be at the heart of the Trump administration’s vaccine policy during its second term.
Vaccines prevented mass hospitalizations and deaths.
