6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

Seeing a vitamin company pushing berberine makes me wonder how many people have long covid/new insulin issues but either don’t know it or have been dismissed by their HCPs

I get why a lot of non-disabled people want to pretend respiratory illnesses don’t exist, but as we’re coming up on another event I can’t safely attend, I encourage you to just THINK about wearing a mask at events - or at least on the train/ plane there, where there’s probably no reason not to

"The reality right now is that if you refuse to engage with the science- the science that shows that COVID is a virus that disables human beings, and that this virus is asymptomatic 44% of the time- then you are spreading a disabling virus, and you are harming people. "
Beyond all reason
Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

Got my Novavax today!! No problems at CVS and the tech even masked up for me. I took a parent to Walmart because their insurance wasn’t accepted at CVS and also no problems. Walmart did ask for the conditions under 65 to document but did not ask for any proof, etc.

Novavax news: A Sanofi rep said at ACIP this morning that it has begun shipping, and a Sanofi spokesman confirms that to me. This is in line with the company's statement last week that it would begin shipping this week.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

It is understandable that you

the fear for the future
will exhaust you,
the spreading viruses
will infect you,
in these sickening times
what would be worrisome
