MIT officially rejects the compact/loyalty oath for higher ed. That’s 1 of 9. I hope we see many more announcements today.

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

This is the best summary I can personally come up with from ACIP’s meeting on COVID19 vaccines:
1. I think the situation is the same as it was *before* the meeting.
2. They voted that prescriptions are not required, but if you live somewhere that currently requires them, they still may be.

You can very easily make a case for yourself as being someone who qualifies for Covid vax on this list.
Physical inactivity, former/current smoker, depression, ETC - these are extremely broad and wide ranging categories.
