Protecting yourself protects everyone. Wear a respirator in indoor and crowded spaces. Ventilate rooms and use HEPA purifiers to clean the air. Test regularly so you know your status, and get vaccinated when eligible. Each of these steps makes a difference—together, they keep our communities safer.

I, alone, can't stop social murders by our government. I can try to stop government from killing & disabling more people. I can get what is necessary to speak out about, documented on public records & try to push for more just policies. I can speak as a citizen & as a health care worker.

"A former head of the Institute of Directors, once shortlisted for a prestigious businesswoman of the year award, has been disqualified as a company director until 2036 over suspected Covid loan abuse."

It takes a special kind of #stupidity to do that!

Well, regardless if #Vermont is part of the NE health alliance or not, the state DPH does have updated #COVID #vaccine recommendations. "The Health Department recommends the COVID-19 vaccine for anyone (age 6 months and up) who wants one. There are groups of people who should get the vaccine due to their risk factors."

I remember COVID and how people were spreading misinformation, and when you pointed out that they were spreading misinformation, they said you were being rude.

Facts are not rude. Misinformation is.

WhatsApp and Signal are not safe. They pass messages through servers based in the United States of America, owned and operated by U.S.-based corporations. Use an alternative — not one based in Russia, China, or the USA.

Washington, California, Oregon and Hawaii have put together a handy chart of recommendations for #covid, #COVID19, flu and rsv vaccines: washingtonstatestandard.com/20

My understanding is that how you access these still varies by state. In Washington State, anyone 6 months or older can get a COVID vax without a prescription. That includes pregnant people and people under 65 without a high risk condition. Out of state folks can get vaccinated here.

Many insurers have said there won’t be any cost-sharing for the COVID vax this year, but that is not true across the board. You’ll need to hunt down the specifics for your plan. For some plans the cost share might change depending on the actions of the CDC’s ACIP committee that’s meeting today and tomorrow.

Good news #Oregon! #Covid shots no longer require a prescription or a trip to Washington state. Remember that vaccines reduce your risk of #LongCovid which I can personally attest you do not want.

Also, because it bears reposting, private insurers are telling Sideshow Bob where to stick it, and they're saying they will cover vaccines.
