I agree. The intended audience for this poster was for people who don't know they are vulnerable yet. For those people, the poster might encourage them to mask for others until they become aware of their own vulnerability. This poster was right beside it

I know you mean well, but saying 'medically vulnerable' makes the average ableist think, 'Hmm, that's not me' .. if we could only just get rid of them, we could move on.
*Everyone* is medically vulnerable to COVID, and really to any infection, while we're at it. Just a matter of degree.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

So “home” is the new mask? That is a big one! I prefer FFP3 (or FFP2) - smaller, very effective and a new one goes in my bag or pocket - no mortgage to pay either or heating bills. #CovidisAirborne simple: #WearAMask

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.
What's the deal with indoor air quality?
From CO2 monitors to better building codes, Dr. Georgia Lagoudas outlines how to clean up the spaces where we spend 90% of our lives.
