A new report finds that kids who got last year’s COVID-19 vaccine had a much lower risk of COVID-related hospital visits than kids who didn’t. All kids age 6 months & older should be vaccinated to help protect them from serious illness from COVID-19. See the data: www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

Remember that in the winter of 2020-2021, we *made a whole strain of influenza extinct* by staying home more and wearing masks when we went out.
A lot of people are sick right now.
Flu and Covid are raging, but the good news is a well fitted respirator can prevent both!
A good mask like an N95 is very effective at stopping flu and Covid.
My article looks at how to choose one, how to fit test, where to buy & more.
Mask up & save lives!

We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

It’s also about concerned, informed people, doing their best not to infect others.

Masking isn’t about ideology. It’s about:
😷 immunocompromised children at school & their families not risking their health & lives
😷 people with Long Covid trying not to be reinfected
😷 disabled people protecting their protective system
That’s the stakes. /8

Impeachment is honestly one of the simplest things a member can push.
They can write whatever (even a simple "Trump is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors") and force a vote whenever.
