No one is safe until everyone is safe.
Don't let the facts stand in the way of a good theory.
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
Don't worry, it's going to get worse.

It's not "super flu". It's that flu isn't "just a flu". People really need to understand about lineage diversity, mechanisms of evolutionary change, and shifting fitness landscapes for the virus. The idea of immunity theft from COVID should be taken seriously also.

Please stop calling the circulating sub-clade K strain of H3N2 a "super flu". It is a strain that drifted through a normal evolutionary process from the strains included in this year's vaccine. It means we are seeing more cases of flu and the vaccine may not work as well in preventing infections.

It doesn't have to be this way. As governor, I'll raise the minimum wage, put an end to wage theft, and work to end medical debt. We'll build a system where working people can afford to take care of themselves and their families without going broke.

You shouldn’t ask someone why they’re masking, just like you shouldn’t ask why they’re using a cane or a wheelchair
If we had succeeded in normalizing masking as a public health tool, this mockery wouldn’t happen.

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.
