Imagine if we talked about road safety the same way we talk about the pandemic safety measures.

"Yeah early on we had traffic lights & turn signals but we don't do that anymore bc everyone is used to getting into car accidents now. We're stronger for it."

Serious question. Should we be going out and getting a repeat Covid booster and flu shot? I know neither will be tailored to future variants but isn't an imperfect vaccine better than no vaccine?

I really do not understand the end game here. Gutting vital government agencies to replace workers with people loyal to the regime? I hate it but I understand the agenda. But killing public health?? I’m at a loss for how that helps them.
Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

Very promising!
⭐ Hope for COVID-Induced ME/CFS

A new study suggests stellate ganglion block (SGB) may help those with ME/CFS after #COVID, improving fatigue, orthostatic intolerance, and brain fog. With no FDA-approved treatments, larger trials are needed to confirm these promising results.

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements.

They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

Pay attention.
