New: I did a super quick audio update—a 'Breaking Basket'—about how SNAP recipients are feeling about Dems helping to reopen the government, and the lawsuit from states' AGs to protect their benefits.

(This is new format I'm experimenting with, so bear with me!)

Da hatte ich es kürzlich thematisiert. Selbst die STIKO hat nun gelistet, dass:

"Gegen schwere Erkrankungen bieten die Impfstoffe jedoch einen guten Schutz. Dieser hält für ca. 6 Monate an."

Zitat Ende. Alleine schon von daher: Halbjährlich sinnvoll.
🧵4/x Im Vergleich dazu nun die neuen Infos des RKI mit Stand 29.09.2025:

Someone asked me yesterday if they could still donate to the crowdfunder even though it technically ended Friday night and they missed the deadline. Yes! Berkeley has left the link open until midnight tonight, California time, for just this reason.

📣 #callforpublichealthaction

Virtual demonstration for #cleanair + medical care for #PAIS + #ME/CFS!

week 4️⃣9️⃣

The German government is cutting funding for #PostCOVID research. This neoliberal bullshit has to stop.
We need solidarity now! Billionaires must be taxed more heavily! #taxtherich
Another Saturday, another 📢 #CallForPublicHealthAction! We continue demonstrating online for an improved response to the current public health crisis, because every day people die or develop infection-associated chronic illness due to a virus that we very much have the tools to control.

Hi if you’re working for justice and striving for a better world you can do one small but hugely impactful thing: WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE

You will protect yourself and you will also protect all the vulnerable people around you who are literally risking their lives to make their voices count

1/1 Leider bewahrheitet sich hier gerade wieder, was wir vor Monaten schon befürchtet haben:
Die Bundesregierung spart drastisch bei #MECFS und #LongCovid Forschung (und bei anderen wenig erforschten Erkrankungen mit Sicherheit auch!):
Dank an @langzeitc.bsky.social und Britta Rybicki:
Schockierend: In den Medien hatten Forschungsministerin
@dorobaer.bsky.social CSU und Gesundheitsministerin
Nina Warken (CDU) Hilfe für #LongCovid und #MECFS angekündigt. Nun kommt heraus: Es wurde nichts erarbeitet, Gelder gibt es auch keine. Unverantwortlich!
