While Novavax's protein subunit vaccine should have been approved and available by now, it is a victory that it will be out at the same time as the mRNA vaccines for the second year in a row. People have the choice to choose their preferred vaccine.

Becky With The Good Hair So open them with no adults (because they’re sick and / or because you fired them for not being able or willing to come in while sick), and let the kids manage Lord of the Flies style? Ok Becky…👍🏽

OH MY GOD. NPR Health News: Other than the vaccine, how can people avoid getting COVID? Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH: it's a tall order to ask people to make lifestyle changes at this point. NPR, stop interviewing him.

Reminder that the vaccines do not stop you from getting COVID, but they do lessen the severity. Please continue masking. COVID outcomes are not binary: death is not the only negative outcome. Everyone is at risk for developing long COVID. forbes.com/sites/maryroel…

Same on any person with #LongCovid. I see so much low ferritin (with early iron dysregulation from the inflammation of SARS-CoV-2) nature.com/articles/s4159…

What happened to this? We need each other, but it's turned into chaos and vitriol. Everyone has a role in advocacy. None of us can do this alone. Leave no one behind. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Prescient conversation with Arijit Chakravarty, Joaquín Beltrán Free Palestine, John, and my merry self on pandemics: past, present, future. I'm glad I watched this, friends. Let's do it again. Soon. youtu.be/00iY4SySVfM?si…

From a young woman in my long-hauler group on FB. Shared with permission. Tell me again how 400 million people are no longer controlled by COVID. Look me in the eyes when you do so. #longcovid #journorequest

Nassau County, NY just passed a mask ban and now residents say they are going to take pictures of anyone wearing a mask and send them to police. This is why we need to stop any kind of mask ban legislation. They empower vigilantes to harass and surveil people wearing masks.

Today at 7 pm EST, 6 pm Central

Thank you, Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD, for generously sharing your time and knowledge to answer our questions about what to expect in a long COVID clinic. youtu.be/PQ0m-AqQMLI?si…

YouTube Q&A answering “What to expect in a #LongCovid clinic?” 🔑drtl: - all clinics are different - there is no 🦄perfect LC doc - come prepared (and can send prior summary via EMR before visit) - prioritize your issues

We have learned nothing other than words are easier than actions, that we will not do the hard things for better outcomes. That we will leave 400 million by the wayside for our temporary comfort. Largest wave in 2 years. cnn.com/2024/08/16/hea… theworld.org/segments/2024/…

I mask as a GP, every moment of my working day . Lunch outside generally, or in a well ventilated room ( wide open windows ) with air filter x 2 on all day. I can’t see how that will ever finish unless sterilising vaccines come out & are widely adopted.

Today at 7 pm EDT

It's Friday, y'all! Headed out to go #SaltTheVibes at work. Mask up, because it's very COVIDy out there with large sprinklings of too many other airborne pathogens. Keep yourself safe, keep your neighbor safe. Have a great day!
