An Idaho health department isn’t allowed to give COVID vaccines anymore after a board vote. Their reason was they couldn't sign off on the vaccines being safe. This is a horrible example of politics interfering in public health and is going to kill people.

An Idaho health department isn't allowed to give COVID-19 vaccines anymore. Experts say it's a first

A regional public health department in Idaho is no longer providing COVID-19 vaccines to residents in six counties after a narrow decision by its board.

Long COVID is a new, stigmatized condition, still without a cure or much treatment. Justin Lemphers is one of 400 million people globally, who have experienced this often invisible and debilitating condition:

"Long COVID, a major public health crisis, is also becoming a significant economic crisis. A new study in Nature reports that the global annual economic impact of long COVID has hit $1 trillion — or about 1% of the global economy."

Mounting evidence suggests that Covid-19’s viral persistence in various tissues could be a key driver of #LongCovid. It’s one of the most concerning and increasingly supported theories.

I really appreciate @drruth.bsky.social's posts & newsletter. If you think that drivers have become more erratic since 2020, you're probably right - and the affected people wouldn't likely realize it, either.

Masking, vaccine boosters, & air purification cut risks of neurological viral impact too.

Who is calling the shots? Corporate America or science? CBS News actually did what is now a rare interview about SARs-CoV-2 (Covid) and discussed the proposed new CDC guidelines. We posted it on our home page, covidtoolbox.com. It also touches on Long Covid, which 4 million Americans now have.
