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 fills me with rage that we could've spent the last 5yrs overhauling indoor ventilation and just...didn't. Like, it's good for capitalism! Even if that's allll you care about, healthy people are more productive workers! And people don't have to take as much time off work if their kids are healthy!

No one is acting as if this in an emergency, except those of us who work in these fields. But we see the tsunami approaching--a wave of sickness and death that will wash over us all in growing numbers down the months, down the years. 15/

It's important to know what we're dealing with. Though some in the media still try to horse-race, both sides this, we're faced with psychopaths at the helm of our nation's public health, scientific and healthcare efforts. They want to inflict pain and suffering. It's a goal, not a by-product. 6/

Despite the FDA restricting COVID vaccine access, the science tells us that getting vaccinated is still important for everyone:

1️⃣ Anyone can develop serious and chronic illness from COVID
2️⃣ Vaccines reduce days lost due to sickness
3️⃣ Vaccines reduce transmission and protect others at higher risk

These restrictions will unfortunately decrease COVID vaccination rates because although many are high risk according to the CDC's list:



- you may need documentation of high risk status
- not everyone has a doctor
- doctors may be hesitant to provide documentation

- insurance may not cover
