BREAKING: The #FDA approved the #Moderna/ #Pfizer vaccines for those 12yo and older & authorized them for emergency use in those 6 mos-11yo. A #CDC advisory group will meet Tuesday to weigh the safety & effectiveness of the updated vaccines and make recs regarding who should get the shots.
👏👏👏 #Covid #vaccines

#CDC recommends you get your daily dose of COVID; nostril licking sessions are the RAGE! That way, with the upcoming vaccines arbitrarily and capriciously priced at >$100/shot for a publicly produced vaccine, you'll have HURT IMMUNITY! Oops-daisies (pushing up??), I mean HERD IMMUNITY!

less effective. Please CDC, do a better job at protecting & informing the public about a crippling virus that is leaving 1 in 10 (per CDC numbers) with long Covid. Thanks. #Covid #CDC #LongCovid #Ventilation

The @CDC put out a new video to help the public learn more about #COVID19 and “to keep you and your family protected.” ⬇️

My quick thoughts after viewing it…
We actually know much more. Respectfully, I don’t really understand why @CDCDirector says that “we are more prepared than ever” to track variants (when the #CDC isn’t even tracking cases), why she doesn’t mention masking or ventilation strategies AT ALL, nor discuss the risks of long Covid with the public, nor explain how quickly 1/3

Fire up your #COVID-avoidance strategies. BA.2.86 is on the #CDC and #WHO radar because its mutations may bypass natural (“previously infected”) and vaccine-induced immunity. Currently about 1800 people are hospitalized daily with COVID; that number is predicted to increase into Sept. Given the research and experiences with Long COVID, and post-COVID morbidity even In asymptomatic or mild infections, best not to gamble. #MaskOn #WashUp

but too soon to know.
⭐️Wastewater: detected in US.
⭐️Viral genomics: BA.2.86 has more than 30 mutations vs BA.2.
⭐️Immune Impacts: The large no. of mutations raises concerns of ⬆️immune escape vs recent variants.
⭐️Therapeutics: "profile suggests that treatments like Paxlovid, Veklury, and Lagevrio will be effective..."

"The Rev. Greg Jarrell...said people often waited hours for testing at a site near his neighborhood, even with appointments.

'We saw the severe limitations of the whole system,' he said. 'Who has got time to sit in line for three hours? Not an hourly employee.'

If you don’t set up 'race-conscious and class-conscious policy,' Jarrell said, 'the system is always going to serve people who have more resources.'"

“#RSV sends about half a million children to emergency departments in the U.S. every year; somewhere between 58,000 and 80,000 of those children end up being hospitalized. The #CDC estimates that between 100 and 300 children die from RSV in any given year.

In a Phase 3 clinical trial, the Pfizer #vaccine was shown to reduce the risk of severe #LowerRespiratoryTract disease caused by RSV by 82% at three months after birth and 69% at six months.” https://scicomm.xyz/@HelenBranswell/110930337156889596

#CDC will fail again: HICPAC advises the CDC on guidelines for infection control in HC settings -finalizing plan for the CDC in Nov -revisions would water down infection control protections, esp. for aerosol transmission & multidrug-resistant organisms *worrisome: conclusion: plain surgical masks = to N95s & provide adequate protection to #HCW /patients🚨 -abundant evidence to the contrary.

CDC Poised To Weaken Masking & Infection Control Guidelines

“#COVID19 indicators of hospital admissions, emergency department visits, test positivity, and wastewater levels have all been increasing in the past month, with a peak not yet clearly in sight, according to data-tracking by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC). From June 10 to July 29, #TestPositivity rose from 4.1 percent to 8.9 percent.” https://universeodon.com/@JenLucPiquant/110853236012306077

“On Friday, August 4, #CDC estimates pegged #EG5, as the top variant, contributing to 17.3% of reported cases. First identified in Indonesia, EG.5 has since spread globally. There are still many other variations of omicron circulating in the U.S., with XBB.1.5, nicknamed Kraken, accounting for 10.3% of cases and XBB.1.16, another variant nicknamed Arcturus, still making up 15.6% of cases, according to CDC data.” https://mstdn.science/@TRyanGregory/110854174696623741

“This week the #CDC #genomic surveillance showed continued rise of the #EG.5.1 #variant with near doubling over the past couple of weeks, showing significant growth advantage compared to its prevailing #XBB variant precursors (such as XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, XBB.1.9 #COVID #SARSCoV2 https://mstdn.social/@erictopol/110844536476608635

#CDC reports 5 mosquito-transmitted #malaria cases in Florida and Texas, the first local cases in the U.S. since 2003.

I didn't know where to put this.
It's an article from a digital historical source.

It's about Cleveland's history of steel production and pollution. I grew up in the #LTVsteel neighborhoods. Many of the children were born with various medical issues/complications (me and my siblings are chronically ill and disabled in some way). Mass disabling events aren't due to only pandemics of viruses. World reports under document illness and disability. I'm certain of it. #WHO is nothing to go by. Might as well be the #CDC.

So, ANYWAYS, I realized the past couple days, that my struggles with breathing and #airQuality are nothing new, I think I am just less resilient, or um... SICKER, and it's harder to roll with the proverbial punches. Seeing the kids struggling with this makes my #mentalHealth state worse.

I remember my parents telling me about my oldest brother, born in 1971, having the worst #asthma of anyone in the family. My parents didn't own a car, they had to take the RTA (busline, we called it "Rita"), no matter the weather or situation. They had to take the bus, with my asthmatic brother to the hospital, sometimes 2 times a month, due to breathing emergencies, where he would get nebulizer treatments and so on.

I realized. It was the pollution in #Cleveland. My brother was diagnosed with #emphysema in his early 30's (of course, smoking didn't help, but, he did quit about 5 years ago, I heard this thru the grapevine because he doesn't talk to me anymore). One of his kids (my niece) had an asthma diagnosis as a baby and developed #RA by age 7. #Lupus runs in my family, as does RA, #Psoriasis, #Crohns, #Celiac, and of course, #diabetes, #heartDisease and #neurological issues. We are a sick family (increasingly worse over the generations). This can all be traced to #racism and the #American caste system, #poverty, and of course, #pollution, #industrialization, #capitalism.

So anyways, here's that article:

"Cohen led North Carolina’s health department for nearly five years, overseeing the state pandemic response in 2020 and 2021 and rolling out changes to the Medicaid program. Cohen also worked in the Obama administration, where as a senior official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, she helped oversee federal health insurance programs that provided health coverage to more than 140 million people."

The #CDC’s conference resulted in at least 181 (13%) #covid infections and is the first covid infection for over half!

“Of those who reported testing positive, 52% reported no known prior COVID-19 infection”

“49 (27%) of the respondents who tested positive received antiviral medications”

“70% of respondents reported not wearing a mask; the event coincided with a period of low COVID-19 Community Levels, where masking is not recommended in CDC guidance”

Im always reminded of the Tyler Durden acene when hes got the airplane masking thing and explains its a sham designed to get you "high" on placebo whenever I see the #CDC wrongly assert and differentiate between #airborne and #droplet precautions.

All sham bullshit to lie and cut costs / liability based on outdated 1958 research.
