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

City Lights
A photo of the nighttime skyline of San Francisco, taken looking east from Kite Hill. The city is ablaze with lights from the Castro all the way downtown. The street lights, traffic lights and vehicle lights make Market Street look like a ribbon of light. The dome of City Hall is lit up with blue lights. The sign on the Castro Theatre is bright red (and so out of focus to be unreadable.) The cloud cover reflects the lights from the City

Eric Adams decided to use his last weeks in office to betray all women on behalf of big corporations.

Today he vetoed the Cabán-Farías Pay Equity Package, which is designed to shrink the gender pay gap.

Every time someone invokes mom and pop landlords to argue against eviction protections, I want to scream: when do we talk about the mom and pop tenants? When is it time to care about the mom and pop tenants that landlords are throwing out on the street?

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?

Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.

Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

Barely half way through the year, but I already have a candidate for the most bizzarest movie I've watched in 2025: Club Zero
A poster for the movie "Club Zero." In the center is Mia Wasikowska in a purple short sleeve shirt. She is sitting facing the camera with her hands clasped in her lap. She has a slight smile. Sitting around her are the actors who portray her pupils in the movie. They all wear identical yellow short sleeve shirts with tan shorts. They all face the camera with expressionless looks on their faces. One pupil looks at Wasikowska adoringly.

A naive but genuine question: why does NYC need a week to complete rank choice vote tallies? Here is SF, we get updates each evening that include RCV results for all ballots counted that day.

Ukrainians don’t have the luxury of indulging in the fantasies and distortions of Truth Social, or X, or Russian state TV. They have no choice but to believe in the rockets flying over their heads, the news of dead neighbours – in short, in reality. The events of this week are about as vivid a demonstration you can get that the war is still happening, that it is real, and that Moscow has no real desire to end it.
