Yes, school refusal due to bullying and/or mental health issues absolutely should be covered (I had a period of school refusal, so I get it.) But it's a bit bizarre that there is no mention in this increased school absences story of the recently introduced virus that kids get regularly now.

Also, Covid vax does NOT provide immunity, can keep you out of hospital & maybe prevent Long Covid but you can still get infected & researcher Putrino says there is no such thing as a Covid infection without consequence

New study in Nature finds no such thing as natural immunity to covid after the arrival of omicron. Pre omicron, infection provided 80% protection against re-infection one year later. This falls to under 5% at one year with omicron

A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health.
Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do.
This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.

I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear:
This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited.
The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5
