New study in Nature finds no such thing as natural immunity to covid after the arrival of omicron. Pre-omicron, infection provided 80% protection against re-infection one year later. This falls to under 5% at one year with omicron

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask.

You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system.

You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

Folks in the Triangle of NC & surrounding area who want a C0v1d-safe dentist, I can’t recommend Red Oak Dentistry highly enough. Staff in n95s, HEPA purifiers in each room, & doors on patient rooms.

It’s such a relief to have access to healthcare with HCWs who actually care!

It’s terrifying that folks aren’t paying more attention to this. How much worse does it need to get? (Please don’t answer that)

Airlines were instrumental in pressuring the CDC to reduce COVID isolation. It was hurting their bottom line.

This is a workers rights issue. People need to be able to stay home when sick. Doctors are overwhelmed and shouldn't have to provide a certificate for every positive test.

Mask up to fly.

The GOP has released its list of 12 priority bills. Among them is a “protection” for infants “born alive” after abortion. It’s important to understand that what these laws (which exist in multiple states already) actually do is prohibit palliative care for very sick and dying newborns.

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like “an entire bicycle”
My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.
