A few days ago, I shared a link to the public comment page for the #CDC docket item regarding #COVIDBoosters and vaccines; there was also a pretty shoddily-written NPR piece going around, basically saying, "nah, only people over 65 need the shot".

Decisions about the #COVIDVaccines will be made soon; here's a very good explainer by @mattbc ( recommend following them on Patreon--their posts are public--and listening to their calls to action.

Spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre defended the president, noting that #Biden had again on Wednesday tested negative for #Covid.

"The president is doing all that he can of course, in consultation with his physician, and so he's keeping with the #CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines," she said.

The appeals court judges found that pressure from the #WhiteHouse & the #CDC affected how #SocialMedia platforms handled posts about #covid-19 in 2021, as the #Biden admin sought to encourage the public to obtain #vaccinations.

The judges detail multiple emails & statements from WH ofcls that they say show escalating threats & pressure on the social media companies to address covid #misinformation.…

The #5thCircuit panel also limited the govt institutions affected by its #ruling to the WH, the #SurgeonGeneral’s office, the #CDC & the #FBI. It removed restrictions #Doughty had imposed on the depts of State, DHS & HHS & on agencies including the U.S. #Census Bureau, the #NIAID, & the #CISA. The #5thCircuit found that those agencies had NOT coerced the #SocialMedia companies to #moderate their sites.

Government: It's your choice how to protect yourself against #COVID.
Me: Great! I choose to follow the science and get vaccinated every six months even if I have to pay for it out of pocket.
G: No, not like that.

In case you are also living under a rock and hoped you'd be getting a new #COVID #booster soon, I have had news: #CDC is strongly leaning towards limiting boosters to 75+ and immunocompromised. For no apparent reason.

*TITLE: Photobiomodulation for Long COVID (Get Some Sun)

Okay all -- It's early days for figuring out how to help people with
Long COVID.

That said, a bit of promising research is starting to surface.

I'm taking the unusual step of emailing EVERYONE because at this point
many of you with anxiety and depression symptoms may have some Long
COVID (brain fog, sleep issues, the depression or anxiety itself!).

A good write-up about what Long COVID is can be found here.  Yes, you
can had a trivial case of COVID-19 and still get Long COVID symptoms for
days, weeks, months, or years.  Some cases of it are somewhat "mild":
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/index.html

*The bottom-line of the video is right at the end.  For long COVID:
-- Get outside one hour per day.
-- May cover up if sensitive to sun (near UV rays will get through
clothing anyway)
-- Best if in nature (surrounded by green)
-- Do not look directly at sun (duh)
-- May wear a hat (near UV rays will get through clothing anyway)
-- Sitting in a sunny window no longer good enough (most glass now has
to be certified to block the rays we want)

He also promises to talk about how intermittent fasting may help in a
future video.

https://www.medcram.com/
He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical
Care, and Sleep Medicine and an Associate Professor at the University of
California, Riverside School of Medicine.  He is also an ER doctor.

Before the pandemic, MedCram mainly seemed to be training for doctors to
pass exams.  Since the start of COVID, Dr. Seheult has done occasional
more accessible videos for the general public on COVID-related topics.

To actually understand why something this simple may help -- and listen
to some research, please watch:

Today is the final day to submit a public comment to the #CDC so that they keep #wastewater tracking for #COVID and other viruses. With almost all other COVID metrics disappeared, this is our last tool for understanding how sickness is spreading in our communities. A single supporting sentence is sufficient.
