It’s not too late to get a #FluShot if you didn’t get one in the fall, & Tamiflu reduces risk of hospitalization & death if you have the #Flu. It is also used as post exposure prophylaxis if you’ve been in close contact w/ someone who has flu. Sick? Call your dr!

Hate to break it to y’all:
Trump increasing taxes on our biggest fruit & vegetable suppliers isn’t going to reduce cost of healthy foods or “make foods healthier”

I've been accused of being "anti-vax" for pointing out that COVID vaccines don't stop transmission (induce sterilizing immunity).
Vaccines range in what they achieve from reducing acute severity (COVID, flu) to preventing infection (MMR, polio). Vaccines are good and you should get them:

Why Do Some Vaccines Work Better Than Others? | ASM.org
Some vaccines prevent disease—others don’t. Why is that? It’s complicated, with the virus, vaccine type, host immune response and more playing a role.

For all the folks who fell for the anti-trans hysteria and voted for Trump and GOP as a result can you please let us know when trans people actually harmed you or your family or your security? I'm curious. All the people I've asked are unable to identify even one real example. It's just pure fear.
