We can’t let this happen.
And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.

Republicans control every branch in Washington.
Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on.
His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

We are now at the point where health agencies will try and restrict life-saving drugs and vaccines on a whim, with no regard for evidence or due process. These are such dangerous times.

When is the CDC director going to sign off on the ACIP Covid vaccine recommendations?
As someone currently in one of the few “prescription only” states left, the sooner the better please 🙄

2025 has been such a terrible year that I'm not holding my breath that HHS or the CDC wont change their mind(s) about approval and/or the ACIP recommendation that broadens access is actually accepted by the CDC director
Hoping for the best but bracing myself because *gestures broadly at everything*

Fundamentally, the reason I avoid Covid is because all - all - of the elements of my life that bring me joy and fulfillment rest on my cardiovascular fitness and / or my cognition. I'm not going to risk a virus wrecking that, as I've seen happen to way too many people I know.

Covid has killed ~5-6x the number of people this year as those who died in 9-11. Both are heartbreaking, ❤️🩹 but only one is grieved publicly. The other is barely noticed & declared over

It's wild to be able to more easily get a Paxlovid prescription (I know multiple telehealth services that are great for it and very reasonably priced, fast, and asynchronous) than a COVID vaccine prescription...
And the difference isn't even subtle — it's night and day.

Our billionaire President put an airline lobbyist in charge of the Department of Transportation. So no, this is not a surprise.
The Trump administration has canceled the Biden era rule where airlines would have to compensate passengers for flight disruptions.

Many states don’t let you get a COVID vaccine without a prescription as they had existing laws that tied access to official CDC approval. This made sense as a safety measure, but now the CDC has been taken over by antivaxxers, several states are rightfully modifying these laws to reinstate access.

Given intranasally, it blocked infection, prevented transmission, and triggered long-lasting immunity stronger than vaccines.

How do you reconcile teaching brain health while ignoring the virus that harms the brain? By lecturing unmasked in an unfiltered room during a surge?
You don’t. You just sweep the evidence under the rug.

Welp, it's officially been one year since the 2024-25 COVID vaccine was approved.
This year was supposed to be earlier. Things were scheduled a bit earlier. Normally, we might've had the vaccine in arms by now.
But no.
