A little more on this.
In some states requiring COVID vaccine prescriptions, there are CVS MinuteClinics that offer a workaround: AZ, DC, FL, GA, NC, VA
Unfortunately CV does not have MinuteClinics in LA, ME, OR, UT, or WV

For people in a state that is asking for a prescription, try a CVS MinuteClinic.
Some MinuteClinic’s are getting around restrictions by having nurses on site who will give you a prescription during a visit. They ask to confirm if you are high risk but don’t ask for proof.

Vaccines are our greatest scientific achievement. This is criminal.
RFK Jr. pulls funding for vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses
The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."
But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.
Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.
They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Last year I found a new teammate by asking random people at a game if they played soccer so we’re running it back.

So sad to see Narumi go. She was such a key part of the Courage midfield and was so fun to watch play.
📷 🦁 The NC Courage have wished Narumi Miura goodbye on social media, she will not be back in blue and gold in 2025. She is a free agent.
Fantastic passer of the ball and a metronome in their system. Wonder if she stays in the #NWSL?

A living wage is about equity: ensuring those with no savings or credit to get a loan can enjoy the privilege of a Stanford education too. Who’s the selfish one?

I loved my time as a grad student at UNC, but am now ashamed of what the UNC system has become because of this board. I’m feeling for the students, faculty, and admin, who have worked hard to create a culture of welcoming and belonging at these campuses.
I’ll have more coherent — less ragefull & hopeless — thoughts on this tomorrow. But tonight it’s just fuck our antidemocratic state government that purposely does not reflect the will of the people. www.wral.com/story/unc-sy...
UNC System moves to eliminate diversity goals, jobs at public campuses across the state
