Well I’m nobody but I loved it. It made me feel sane for a change!

To pretend that only some people are "vulnerable" to the worst effects of COVID – or any disease for which we have effective vaccines – is to sentence more and more Americans to disability and death.

When I got sick, I had a three-year-old son. I could no longer chase after him on the playground, no longer take him running with me and stop halfway at our local splash pad. I couldn't pick him up.

Fort 18 months, I dealt with exhaustion, headaches, heart problems, and more. I could no longer eat gluten. I could no longer run.

I don't smoke. I don't eat meat or dairy. I avoid refined sugars. I'd been living like this my entire adult life when I first contracted COVID at age 38, in 2023. Despite being fully vaccinated at that point, I didn't recover in the expected timeline.
In fact, my symptoms developed into Long Covid.

I urge you to reconsider both decisions.
Limiting access to vaccines puts us all at risk; we are all "vulnerable" when it comes to COVID.
Take me, for example: I've been running long distances for fun since I was 11. Regular exercise five days per week.

I was deeply disturbed by the June 9 announcement of the termination of all 17 members of the CDC ACIP committee. I was equally disturbed by Mr. Kennedy's revisions to vaccine guidance, which would make life-saving and disability-preventing vaccines harder to get for nearly everyone.

The child is too young for Novavax, which I understand is good for about 6 months. Thanks in advance!

WellBefore has some great options. I like the KF94 style. I mostly wear the Flo Mask, but it’s big and not for everyone. Another option is the 3M Aura, which I find very comfortable. Thank you for masking up again! It’s a smart thing to do!!
