Because COVID-19 vaccines are no longer being distributed by the federal government, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stopped printing those little white vaccine cards that were once so ubiquitous during the COVID pandemic. The cards' discontinuation isn't expected to be a big change, as experts say it’s unlikely we’ll return to the era when COVID vaccine cards functioned like IDs to enter restaurants, see a show or board an international flight. So can we now finally clean out our wallets and say sayonara to those little white cards? Here's what experts told Yahoo Life earlier this summer....

Former film director and current Twitter/X activist Rob Reiner is sweating blood over the prospect of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. running as a third-party presidential candidate. “Not exaggerating when I say that a vote for any 3rd party candidate will put Trump back in the WH and destroy 247 years of Self Rule,” he tweeted on X Thursday. “Not exaggerating” about the end of “self-rule.” A better way to put it is that Reiner is panicking like a 14-year-old girl.
