She won’t like that I told on her - but my mom just sent me this…

Here are the vaccines many already need(ed) just to go school:

Chickenpox
Diphtheria
Hepatitis A&B
Meningitis
Measles
Mumps
Polio
Pneumonia
Rotavirus
Rubella
Tetanus
Whooping Cough

Adding one for COVID doesn’t impact your freedom, it makes us all safer.

🗣 It’s not a “vaccine mandate” if you can opt-out and just get one Covid test per week instead.

The Transportation Safety Administration will double the fines on travelers who refuse to mask.

If you break the rules, be prepared to pay.

FAA should require vaccines to get on a plane. #NoShotNoSpot

Six of the Original 9, who signed $1 contracts in September of 1970 to pave the way for women’s professional tennis as we know it today.

It’s an honor to be recognized at the #USOpen tonight.

Meningococcal Conjugate (MCV)*
Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR)

Michael Mina @nate_ridderman I've also found people get stuck on the chart when I've shown it to them. Trying out a table version just to quickly bring a central point home: PCR and rapid dx test different things and rapid dx are far better at letting you know if you are a danger to others.

at-home rapid test kids AT COST for next 3 months; will be discount of 35% on these tests'

BREAKING: Biden deal w Amazon, Walmart & Kroger to make rapid testing more available in schools

1. 'Using Defense Production Act to accelerate production of rapid tests, at-home tests; fed. govt will purchase $2B worth of rapid test'

2. Wal-Mart, Kroger, Amazon will sell

Not to shock the libertarians out there, but the federal government has been regulating against the workplace spread of airborne disease since 1971. osha.gov/laws-regs/fede…

President Biden just signed two executive orders mandating vaccines for millions of federal workers and contractors, according to a White House official. The president is expected to speak in detail about this new action during his remarks next hour.

If you enter a school, a bar, the place you work or a concert, you should be able to know whether your risk of getting infected is high or whether precautions are being taken.

And this is where the requirement becomes a little weaker but much more tolerable…16/

But here the secret must finally come out.

In a global pandemic we do occasionally have to inconvenience ourselves & make adjustments to protect against it.

I know I know. But I’m sorry. But it just fucking is what it is. 13/

The latest data show a 5x benefit from a vaccine against being sick & a 29x benefit against being hospitalized.

It you told me something was free & proven safe and gave me a 29x benefit against being hospitalized (about 95%), I’d say that seems like a good deal. 6/

Over 5.5 billion vaccines have been administered around the world. Think about this from a safety standpoint. Rare things happen when they occur a few times per MILLION. So we’ve seen it all.

At this point the safety record would have to be called impeccable. 2/

COVID Update: After recent FDA approval, society is moving towards, requiring vaccines at a rapid pace.

And that’s about to get another jolt. 1/

Real life example of how frequent fast testing severs transmission chains and can prevent outbreaks from growing.

Reiterating that the Admin told Americans to leave Afghanistan 15x prior to August isn’t an effort to blame shift or reduce the urgency of working to evacuate all those who still want to leave.

It’s just a reminder that it’s not as simple as “we left Americans behind”.

This messaging from universities that it's safe to gather in large classrooms but not at parties is clearly not landing very well.

I think people are generally very tired of being told that the pandemic is over when it comes to labor but ongoing when it comes to leisure.
