FDA has now approved updated Pfizer & Moderna #COVID vaccines targeted at XBB1.5; Novavax coming soon.

Get vaxxed!

Both protect against XBB descendant EG.5, Moderna also works against FL.1.5.1. Note that this doesn't mean Pfizer's shot doesn't, we just don't know.

Could this really be the Good Place? 🥺

Also, how do I get people to see this and respond when I'm new on here, and have like 3 followers?

Does this place have hashtags?
Hello World! It's my first few hours on here! Taking baby steps, getting to know the platform. Rebuilding your entire social network from scratch is HARD. Any tips much appreciated! Especially 👇👇👇

How to:
1) best use Bluesky?
2) import Twitter/X following?
3) find science/academia Twitter on here?
