Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

UPDATE: 25 states plus DC have taken actions to protect COVID-19 vaccine access.

Two regional public health alliances have formed: The Northeast Public Health Collaborative and the West Coast Health Alliance.

There are several midwest and mountain states who have collaboration potential.

We have just received a report of a positive Covid test from an #AFC2025 attendee.

Thank you to all who grabbed tests and masks from us today. Please use them to protect others as you head home.

MA Gov Healey statement before ACIP: “We are not going to let Trump or Kennedy take away your ability to make your own health care decisions. We are taking this action so the people of MA will continue to be able to get the vaccines you want and need – no matter what happens at the federal level.”

See you at #AFC2025! Our panel, "How to REALLY Not Get Con Crud", will be at 10 am on Friday. Make sure to get regged early so you don't miss it!

We'll also have masks, tests, fit testing, and air filters to borrow, all for free, all con long!

normalizing mask wearing makes criminalization, from this kind of surveillance to mask bans, way harder. you wearing a respirator to the grocery store, on transit, in healthcare is a practice of solidarity with the most marginalized in your community on more than one level.

PSA: Please remember to wear a well-fitting mask when you’re at the pharmacy getting vaccinated (or are there for any other reason). I really appreciate anyone taking a step to protect themselves by getting vaccinated, but you put yourself at unnecessary risk if you don’t wear a mask while doing so.

Updated COVID vaccine availability map 9/9

It's most difficult to get a shot in these states, which require prescriptions and have no MinuteClinics: ME, OR, UT, WV

These states require prescriptions but do have MinuteClinics: AZ, DC, FL, GA, LA, NC, VA

In all other states, no prescription needed

Thank you to all who have already tested and shared their results!! Knowing the status of the people you were partying with can help folks make smarter decisions in monitoring their own health and preventing the spread to others!

Taking COVID seriously is Community Care!!

Did you grab a covid test or two from this cool badger gator at the party on Saturday? Be sure to test when you can and share you results!

We just got word of a positive test. No judgement here, but just want to remind y'all that covid is still around and communicating your status is important!

Reminder that we have a Telegram chat with over 170 members, and it's the best way to get involved with our community and our efforts: covidsafefurs.org/telegram

UPDATED MAP: The Board of Pharmacy in NV made a statement making vaccines available with a prescription. The Board of Pharmacy in OR downgraded their access to needing a prescription (a very strange decision)

It takes about two weeks after receiving a vaccine for it to reach maximum efficacy. If you're headed to AFC and you want that maximum efficacy in time for the con, go out and get the new Covid vaccine NOW.

How are you supposed to get the COVID vaccine now? An explainer: defector.com/how-the-fuck...

into the con is by simply passing through the airport. It is possible to pick it up at the airport, incubate it and spread it at the con, and then get back home before you start feeling sick - especially if you didn't wear a mask.

If you got sick at #Megaplex, it is not necessarily because someone else KNOWINGLY attended while sick. It is possible to be contagious before feeling symptoms, especially with Covid - it is capable of spreading stealthily that way. A simple way of unknowingly bringing illness/

If you came home from #Megaplex sick, please test, preferably over multiple days. While it is not necessarily Covid, it is not improbable since we are currently in a surge (the 11th wave). You cannot be sure if it is Covid or not from symptoms alone, which can vary greatly.

Governor Jared Polis says on a reddit AMA that Colorado will fix it so that people can access COVID vaccines without a prescription within the next few days.
