Runstraat, Amsterdam in 1993 and today. Seems almost impossible there used to be car parking when you're walking down these busy, narrow streets!

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition.

Your friendly reminder that you don’t have to turn right on a red if you don’t want to, even if it’s clear. Even if the guy behind you is laying on the horn.

Where "omg this is such a mess" meets "let's just press record and talk this out."

tl;dr: Fall vaccines are anything but business as usual this year and all eyes will be on independent orgs and health insurance companies.

Let's listen.

This is a map of Lyme disease cases in 1995 via CDC. Keep it in mind when I show you the 2023 map in the next post.

The TL;DR:
With milder winters in some regions, ticks are active longer, spread further & have more chance to bite humans. Lyme disease has gone from a regional issue for people in Pennsylvania and adjacent regions to covering 1/3rd of the company.

Seems like a terrible time to defund the CDC.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu”

Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell.

It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible.

It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

NEW: After firing expert scientists on the CDC's vaccine advisory committee, RFK Jr. has named their replacements.

The new committee contains many figures known for spreading disinformation about vaccines and COVID including Robert Malone and Martin Kulldorff.

This is bad.
