Triggered #Dems are blocking #history. When did #Biden end the #COVID emergency? 5 11 23. When most #democrat voters were vaxxed! Not that #republican #necropolitics were any better. Trump adopted anti-mask/anti-vax politics bc the first wave of COVID *decimated* Democrat constituencies. R instincts went rabidly anti-mask/anti-vax fast and wet-dreamy. Dems? Masked up and vaxxed! Uh oh, more dead Republicans by 2024! Both parties embraced death, one won. Biden isn't any less ghoulish than #Trump.

Mucosal ("sterilizing") Covid vaccine trials are kicking into high gear.
Tens of thousands of next generation trial volunteers will be needed in the US soon. And we've got the first details for a Project NextGen "mini-efficacy" trial...
The first step for human challenge trials of intranasal etc vaxes is underway in the UK...
All this & more in my latest nextgen vax update @PLOS ...1/2
Pam Bondi Dismissed Charges Against a Surgeon Who Falsified Vaccine Cards. It Emboldened Others With Similar Cases.
---
A Utah surgeon’s victory in a vaccine fraud case has encouraged other “medical freedom” advocates to consider seeking leniency for similar charges. “This undermines every layer of the system that protects us from infectious disease,” an expert said.

> Years after the virus that causes COVID-19 kicked off a global pandemic, it’s still sending thousands of Canadians into hospital each year alongside other respiratory infections — despite the existence of a suite of vaccines that can slash someone’s risk of serious illness.

EVERY SINGLE DAY in parenting groups, I see posts that say "[family member] knowingly exposed us to an illness! What do I do?"
We literally learned AN ENTIRE SET OF SKILLS FOR HOW TO HANDLE THIS DURING A MULTI-YEAR PANDEMIC THAT NEVER ENDED.
But now that everyone is "back to normal," I guess they have amnesia about masks, pods, and explicit conversations about illness and exposures?
More good news about COVID vaccines!
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/covid-vaccination-may-protect-household-members
"COVID-19 patients who were vaccinated against the virus were much less likely to infect household members than unvaccinated patients"
"…household contacts of patients vaccinated in the past six months were 43% less likely to test positive than household contacts of unvaccinated sick people, the study shows"
This effect was not found if the vaccine was more than 7 months ago.
A Phase 1 clinical trial that will evaluate the Boost-2867 #covid #COVID19 booster administered via nasal spray is now recruiting in Seattle, at Kaiser's research institute. You don't need to be a Kaiser member to be in the study. The study is also recruiting in five other places in the US, some of which will be testing a jab version instead of a nasal spray version.
Details are at: https://www.kpwhri.org/news-and-events/recent-news/news-2026/researchers-begin-trial-nasal-spray-COVID-19-vaccine and https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07221162
We recognize that people wear masks for many important reasons. Why do you mask? Help promote health and safety in our communities.

#COVID taught me that zombie movies are wildly unrealistic. Where’s the scene where Karen licks a doorknob to “build natural resistance” to the zombie virus?
Or the guy who runs into a horde, screaming, “My rights!” because he’s pretty sure the CDC invented zombies to sell more hazmat suits?
Where's the government’s Zombie Safety Taskforce announcing: “If you’ve been bitten but haven’t fully turned after 3 days then get back to work. The economy needs you!”
Hey did anybody hear anything yesterday to "remember" or "never forget" the day that we entered the global pandemic called #Covid?
It's been 23 years and we still get bombarded with insistence that we never forget 9/11!!
But not one rememberance of Covid.
DEATHS:
7,090,776 - Covid
2,996 - 9/11
ILLNESSES RELATED TO:
65,000,000 - #LongCovid
45,200 - 9/11
If we had a 9/11 every day since March 11, 2020, the total deaths would still not be as many as the deaths from Covid.
#Cancer, #Covid, & #Alzheimers #Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before #RFKJr announced that 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

Major funding cuts to the vaccine pipeline announced in the US, but important advances for mucosal Covid vaccines globally:
- 10th mucosal vax reaches phase 2 (in Canada)
- Another human challenge trial as prep for mucosal trials started in Singapore
- Trial results, including one for intranasal vax in kids in China
And lots more in my latest next generation Covid vaccine update now online @PLOS
Mike Masnick compares how the Free Press covered the (misleading-to-false) story of the #Biden admin’s "censorship" of #SocialMedia [actually trying to combat harmful #disinformation like #election & #COVID #lies & #ConspiracyTheories or #HateSpeech like #WhiteSupremacy], to how they handled the very real #censorship attack on #Wikipedia by #Trump’s DC #USAttorney #EdMartin.
Spoiler: there are differences.

Noticing a lot more coughing people on trains in #Japan recently too. Bet it's surging here too #Covid #covid19 https://www.nationthailand.com/health-wellness/40050177
We the People™ have 3 days, starting May 20, 2025, to write a public comment to the FDA about why #COVID-19 boosters should be available to everyone and also free of charge, as a public service benefiting public health.
Select "Individual consumer" as the most likely category.

But thanks to Trump & MAGA-GOP, 👋🏼COVID vax for Americans. #TimingIsEverything
“CDC's airport screening program has detected multiple cases of the new #COVID -19 variant NB.1.8.1, which has been linked to a large surge of the virus in China.
Cases linked to the NB.1.8.1 variant have been reported in arriving international travelers at airports in Calif, Wash state, Va & NYC area”

"US Health and Human Services #RFKJr announced Tuesday said the #COVID vaccine will no longer be among the recommended vaccines for pregnant women and healthy children on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s immunization schedule." https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/27/health/covid-vaccine-pregnant-women-children-recommendation?cid=ios_app
GREAT NEWS! The Covid Safety Handbook audiobook is now accessible online for public library patrons across North America!
