Vaccine hesitancy and access are the biggest barriers the U.S. now faces in our race to end the COVID-19 pandemic.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Feeding Northeast Florida is hosting a drive-thru food drive Saturday with the Holy Spirit Catholic Church at 11665 Fort Caroline Road, Jacksonville, FL, 32225.
The food drive is open to anyone, no proof of income is needed.
It started at 9 a.m. and will go until food runs out. People are asked to stay in their vehicles and open the trunk when they get up to the front of the line.
Yet, the Mountain Iron resident had a message for anyone who would listen: âGod is good.â
It wasnât exactly what everyone might expect from someone faced with such dire circumstances.
The life-of-the-party man, who enjoyed boating, camping, hunting and cooking; who reveled in hosting big gatherings for friends and family with his wife and kids; who worked tirelessly to help people who had physical ailments during a long career in orthotics and prosthetics, was facing impending death.
He was suddenly the vulnerable one, wasting away to the crippling effects of ALS.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often known as Lou Gehrig s disease â a progressive, incurable condition that breaks down nerve cells causing muscles to weaken and eventually become paralyzed â was wreaking havoc on his body at great speed.
