Pregnant women who develop COVID-19 after vaccination are much less likely to be hospitalised, need intensive care, or deliver early.

A Canadian study of nearly 20,000 pregnant women found vaccination cut hospitalisation risk by 62% and critical care risk by 90% compared with unvaccinated women.

Screenshot of a Courier Mail health article titled “Covid alters brain structure long after infection, new Qld study finds.” The subheading says Queensland researchers found COVID-19 can significantly alter the brain long after recovery, with MRI scans showing lasting changes even in people without ongoing symptoms. Below the headline is a photo of a desktop computer displaying multiple colorful brain MRI images arranged in rows, with another monitor showing a brain scan beside it. The article is dated December 16, 2025.

Map of the United States showing a COVID-19 heat map based on CDC wastewater data, dated Dec 15, 2025 (Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative). States are color-coded from very low (pale yellow) to very high (dark red). Very high levels appear in Indiana; high levels across parts of the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-South; moderate levels in several central states. Much of the West and Southeast show low to very low levels. Some states are hatched to indicate limited data. Caption notes the U.S. is in its 12th COVID wave, with levels likely higher than shown. Infographic titled “National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)” dated Dec 15, 2025 (pmc19.com/data). It estimates 1 in 63 people (1.6%) are actively infectious. New daily infections are ~772,000; ~4.73 million infections occurred in the past week; ~228 million infections in 2025 so far; cumulative infections per person average 4.85. Estimated Long COVID cases range from 39,000–154,000 per day and 237,000–950,000 per week. Estimated excess deaths range from 230–390 per day and 1,400–2,400 per week. Notes say the U.S. is seeing a post-Thanksgiving rise, with weekly infections expected to cause ~2,000 excess deaths. Detailed table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative, dated Dec 15, 2025 (pmc19.com/data). Each U.S. state is listed with its CDC transmission level, the PMC estimate of how many people are actively infectious (shown as “1 in X” and percent), and the probability that at least one person is infectious in gatherings of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. Indiana is highlighted in dark red as very high, with about 1 in 26 people infectious (3.8%), translating to a 32% chance in a room of 10 and up to 98% in a room of 100. Connecticut is highlighted as high, with about 1 in 39 infectious (2.6%), giving a 23% to 93% chance depending on room size. Many states are categorized as low or very low, including California, Florida, Hawaii, and Washington, while several states are marked with an asterisk indicating limited data reporting. Data were last updated on Dec 6, 2025. Continuation table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative, dated Dec 15, 2025. It lists additional U.S. states with CDC level, estimated percent actively infectious, and the probability that at least one person is infectious in rooms of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. Nebraska and Vermont are highlighted as high, each with about 1 in 39 people infectious (2.5%), corresponding to roughly a 23% chance in a group of 10 and up to 92% in a group of 100. Several states are categorized as moderate, including New York, Ohio, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania, while many others are low or very low. Notes indicate limited reporting for some states and that North Dakota has no data, with estimates averaged from neighboring states. Data last updated Dec 6, 2025.

While this is to be lauded, it always frustrates me that masking is *initiated* when levels are high. The best time to mask in hospitals is always; the second best time is when it is patently obvious that prevalence of flu / RSV / Covid is low but *increasing*.

Scary part: This isn’t RFK at HHS-yet. This is his work yrs & yrs before, that came to fruition with greatly increased belief & religious based vax exemptions the past 10-15 yrs. The harm of RFK at the HHS hasn’t been realized yet, and the damage he will cause will dwarf this.

Measles didn’t make a comeback on its own.

This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax movement and his disinformation campaign. And equally as disturbing, some people are perfectly fine with this outcome.
