I really like this statement from @AirSupportProject :
"It was plumbing that ended the cholera epidemic, not drinking sewage over and over to strengthen everyone's immune system."
I'm going to borrow this statement from now on...

For those who are still on the fence about whether to get a COVID booster shot:
"I'm a Former Surgeon General. Here's Why I'm Getting the COVID Shot This Year."
https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/117395
"I will be rolling up my sleeve again this year. Not because I'm scared -- but because I'm informed."
Making this decision w/o data? Know his name: Joseph Ladapo. I wonder if parents can sue when their children start dying or needing iron lungs -- and they will -- b/c of this new policy. I think about this because money seems to be the only thing these people understand.
"West Coast governors issue COVID-19 vaccine guidance after CDC concerns"
"The guidelines recommend broad access to the COVID-19 vaccine for everyone over 6 months of age…"
"In Oregon, the new guidelines appear to be a step toward eliminating the requirement that patients obtain a prescription to get the 2025-2026 COVID-19 booster shot."

“Not Just #Measles”: #WhoopingCough Cases Are Soaring as #Vaccine Rates Decline
Measles #Vaccination Rates in Most States Were Below #HerdImmunity in #2023
Over 36 states have drop in rates for at least one key vaccine from 2013-14 to 2023-24 school years. And half of states have seen an across-board decline in all four vaccination rates. #Wisconsin, #Utah and #Alaska have experienced most precipitous drops during that time, with declines of more than 10% in some cases.

Imagine you were expecting a child and there was a prenatal #vaccine, which would protect your child against a couple of congenital diseases, but also prevent them from being #gay or #trans.
Would you?
