Today is the last day to submit a comment to the FDA and tell them you want the right to access Covid vaccines!
The same people trying to restrict access are the ones who screamed about choice & autonomy when there were mandates.
Let people have choice and autonomy now.
Tell them you don’t agree with removing tools to stay healthy. To protect one another.
You can submit anonymously and it only takes a few minutes
🇫🇷 France detected 4 cases of the new COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1 for the first time.
“There are a number of countries that have reported it. We've found a few cases in France—not many—4 have been identified, both in hospitals and in the community,” virologist Bruno Lina said.

“China noted a rise in outpatient cases from 7.5% to 16.2% and severe hospitalized cases from 3.3% to 6.3%”
The latest COVID variant is sweeping across Asia, causing “razor blade throat” and other concerning symptoms.
The US dismantles reporting, remove access to testing & may restrict vaccines.
Wear a well fitted respirator, it could save a life.

There are two non-fiction books that haunt me in the pandemic. The first is The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Plague in History (originally subtitled The Epic Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History) by John M. Barry, about the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu pandemic.
It has made me feel particularly Cassandra-like in our own pandemic, because we absolutely know how pandemics work, how to manage them, and what goes wrong when we don't. 1/n
Just published from my archives, an interview with KD Drackert, a local Long #Covid activist, #LGBTQIA+ performance artist and all-around fab person. They are a founder of our mask bloc/air filter lending library, Clear the Air ATX.

Anti vaxx rhetoric is dangerous.
Not only does it promote the spread of contagious and preventable disease, but it radicalizes people.
The disinformation campaigns prey on people’s fears of death and disability. They turn that fear into anger.
Today a man opened fire at Emory University in Atlanta.
It appears he was targeting the CDC because he believed the COVID vaccines made him sick.
This is what propaganda does. And it’s only getting worse.
