The best protection against flu is to get vaccinated. Each year influenza kills thousands of people, and it is particularly dangerous to the young and the elderly.

Why you should continue to get the COVID-19 vaccine every year!
WHY YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO GET THE COVID-19 VACCINE EVERY YEAR 01. COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to be high in the elderly (over age 65) and very young (under age 2). In 2024, nearly 50,000 people died in the US from COVID-19 and it is still the third leading cause of death in adults and eighth in children. 02. Among children and adolescents ages 6 months-17 years hospitalized with COVID-19, 41% had no underlying health conditions. In adults, COVID-19 related hospitalizations increases with underlying medical conditions. 03. Most adults hospitalized with COVID-19 had received no COVID-19 vaccine since September 2022. In children, majority of those hospitalized were not vaccinated. 04. While efficacy on protection against infection is low due to the evolving variants and does also wane, studies have shown the updated vaccines are still nearly 60% effective against hospitalization and death. 05. Studies show that those who were vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine and get infected are less likely to develop post-COVID conditions such as Long Covid and MIS-C compared to those who are unvaccinated. 06. Despite what some disinformation spreaders say, the COVID-19 vaccine is very safe. On myocarditis, countless studies have shown that the risk is significantly higher and more severe with infection compared to the lower incidence with the vaccines. Sabina Vohra-Miller

Too much phosphorus can be dangerous for kidney patients. Tell the FDA that just like how food labels now show sodium, sugar, and fat – we need to see phosphorus too.
Tell the FDA: Add Phosphorous to Food Labels!
As kidney patients, caregivers, and supporters, we are asking the FDA to add phosphorus content to food labels. This simple change could save thousands of lives and help millions of Americans stay…

This person was infected with COVID twice and recovered. A 3rd infection brought manageable long COVID symptoms, but they were still able to work. After a 4th infection a few months ago, they haven’t recovered at all — showing how repeated infections can cause severe, lasting damage.
r/covidlonghaulers • 1d ago flyingwithdoves I think I might have long covid Symptoms I've had Covid 4 times now. My infection in 2023 led to insomnia and increased anxiety, but I could still manage and work with Ambien for sleep and Ativan occasionally. This August I got another infection and all hell broke loose - internal vibrations, debilitating anxiety, constant flip-flopping feeling in my stomach, new phobias like driving, and I can't think anymore. I have such severe brain fog that it's scaring me. It feels like I've had a lobotomy. All my muscles are sore, including the ones in my head. It feels like a tight band squezing my brain all the time. I have constant sinus congestion and dizziness and high blood pressure now. It's hard to relax, ever. I've been out of work for 3 months. I have new paradoxical reactions or debilitating side effects with virtually every supplement and medication I've tried recently. Anihistamines make me hyperactive. Seroquel and trazadone do the same thing. Vitamin D gives me heart palpitations now. Magnesium makes me hyperactive too. SSRIs give me every side effect even at tiny doses. I can take small amounts of Ativan occasionally, but enough to actually calm my nervous system will give me a paradoxical reaction. It's exhausting and depressing. It feels like this virus has ripped apart my nervous system and I'm floundering. I've been searching this group for answers to all my symptoms, but it seems as if there are none. I guess "covidlonghaulers" is my new home while I hope for a miracle cure.

“Isn’t the pandemic over?” “Aren’t you done with masks yet?” “But you’re not high-risk!”

This Q&A provides evidence-based responses to these and other common objections, offering insight into why we still mask, filter the air and open windows—knowledge we’ve gained and continue to put into practice
WHN graphic with a light background and faint photo of a white respirator. whn.global logo at top left. Pink subtitle: “Yes, We Continue Wearing Masks — Here’s Why: Common Questions Answered.” Large headline: “If you’re wearing a mask, why should I?” Body text: “Two-way masking protects everyone better than one-way masking for one simple reason: source control. Your mask reduces what you exhale (source control) and what you inhale (personal protection). Because many infections spread silently and not everyone can mask all the time, masking together sharply lowers risk, for you and for the people around you.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Same WHN layout and respirator background. Pink subtitle: “Yes, We Continue Wearing Masks — Here’s Why: Common Questions Answered.” Large headline: “Won’t constant masking weaken your immunity?” Answer in bold text: “No. Masks don’t block all microbes, and our immune systems still get plenty of stimulation from daily life.” Footer with WHN mission sentence. Same WHN layout and respirator background. Pink subtitle: “Yes, We Continue Wearing Masks — Here’s Why: Common Questions Answered.” Large headline: “I thought masks don’t work?” Body text: “They do, but only when used correctly, and not all ‘masks’ are created equal. The physics is clear: well-fitted respirators (N95/FFP2 or better) cut what you breathe out and what you breathe in. Confusion often comes from studies that used loose surgical/medical masks, allowed people to take masks off while exposed, or mixed very different mask types and fits, conditions that blur the true benefit.” Footer with WHN mission sentence. Same WHN layout and respirator background. Pink subtitle: “Yes, We Continue Wearing Masks — Here’s Why: Common Questions Answered.” Large headline: “I think kids need to ‘train’ their immune systems. Aren’t you preventing that?” Body text: “A child’s immune system doesn’t need to encounter dangerous pathogens to develop. Everyday exposure to common microbes in the environment is enough ‘training.’” Footer with WHN mission sentence.

Warnings rise for U.S. as a severe flu strain causes outbreaks. A flu strain that emerged over the summer is causing unprecedented outbreaks in Japan, as well as in Canada and the U.K. The CDC hasn't provided insights on flu in the U.S. in nearly 2 months.

Breastfeeding and antibiotic resistance: what science reveals
A new study shows how exclusive breastfeeding in the first month of life supports a balanced infant microbiome and helps limit antibiotic resistance genes.
https://loom.ly/n6QVuKE
Another reason to promote breastfeeding: It protects babies against antibiotic resistance
The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in children’s health, but factors such as cesarean birth and early antibiotic exposure can disrupt it. A new study shows that exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first month of life can help restore microbial balance and limit antibiotic resistance genes.
