- concluding that a plaintiff who had alleged that he needs two inhalers per month “is virtually certain” to engage in the conduct in the future that would subject him to injury

- explaining that a court assessing standing assumes that the plaintiff is right on the merits
- explaining that a “realistic danger” of future harm requires “a likelihood of injury that rises above the level of unadorned speculation” (cleaned up)
