Likes: Clean air, masks, adapting to changing realities. And derpy cats.
Beyond everything else said here, I'd wager additional recognition after it was featured in a Bluey episode. That tune's got legs.

USS Defiant, tough little ship, requesting permission to dock.

Two possibilities:

Outdoor schoolyard lunchtime

The on-going outdoor COVID conscious meetups. E.g. drive-in movies, mask fit testing events, backyard movie nights and concerts, porch visits

These are the responses I was looking for.

"it" sounds like "article of faith"

Oh, I was imagining more of a roommate situation. Holier-Than-Thou vs I-Love-Being-Bad clashing over personal space, hair in the shower, the absolute necessity of rationalizing hurting people.

Those two would not get along and it would be incredible to watch them stuck together.

Wouldn't a lot of those recipients count as not necessarily super-online?

I'm hearing that it isn't just on the websites, that the VA sent an email out to veterans.

And more information on how insurance companies have responded: bsky.app/profile/magg...
HHS has also announced in a statement that public health insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Vaccines for Children, will cover the Covid shots. That and more in my newly updated explainer:

Analysis from one of the CDC leaders who resigned after Monarez was ousted. bsky.app/profile/drde...

FDA approval is still in place.
4) COVID vaccine was made “shared clinical decision making” (SCDM). Which means different barriers in different states. Some will require a prescription. Some won’t… ACIP had been moving away from SCDM because of the barriers. Doublespeak jargon about individual choice means nothing.

Thanks. I'm really sorry that you have to deal with all this. It's incredibly unfair.

Would you feel comfortable sharing which state? Totally understandable if not.

Bending over backwards would have included MS covering all costs for those returning on short notice to beat the ridiculous deadline and directing HR to help find and schedule travel. This guidance materially costs them next to nothing.

Insurers have already stated that they will cover through Dec 2026.

Insurance trade group says COVID, flu vaccines covered through 2026
AHIP's statement says all ACIP-recommended immunizations as of September 1, 2025, will be covered.

What withdrawal of approval?

So much confusion there - and sloppy writing.

ACIP member, mid-vote, belatedly noted that the "shared clinical decision-making" could be with a pharmacist, does not need to be a primary pvdr.
