At my rutine mammography today, I was the only one masking. Including staff.

But all the other patients almost ran over to use the hygiene sanitizers the second they saw my respirator 🤣 Hand sanitizers on all tables, to make people feel safe. The only one anyway near to actually being safe? Me.

President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have created new obstacles for many people seeking Covid vaccines. But it has been particularly difficult to secure shots for children, including infants and toddlers, who are at higher risk of severe illness from Covid even if they are healthy.

Parents Struggle to Find Covid Vaccines for Their Children Amid Regulatory Confusion

Children under 12 need different versions of Covid vaccines, but many pharmacies and pediatricians’ offices aren’t stocking them.

Hi, EU here, just curious to what the cost is if you play out of your pocket in the US?

Here in 🇸🇪 we got the RFK treatment a long time ago, only 75+ gets any.
Some regions have the possibility to pay if 18-74y old for ~$22, but it's probably easier to get in another country.

Det här är lobbyism i vårdsammanhang. Säg att patienter kan bli friska med billig KBT istället för dyra mediciner/insatser/långvarig sjukdom.
Det är politiskt. Det är livsfarligt.

Protestera innan du blir sjuk, sen är det för sent. Då är det fel på dina tankemönster och du är inte trovärdig längre.

Bad news: Swedish anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at the Swedish Public Health Agency and have succeeded in doing everything they can to take away the covid vaccine from everyone except a very narrow group.

Good news: All other vaccines are available, if for a fee (adults).

Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · 1d

Bad news: Anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at US health agencies and are doing everything they can to take away vaccines.

Good news: Despite all their spin, in reality they have been too incompetent to do anything effective to restrict vaccine access in any meaningful way so far.

To clarify: the fact that CDC guidance is now that even folks 65+ get a provider consult before a covid shot is problematic not just b/c it may make it harder for elders to access the vax. It's that the guidance creates new vax hesitancy: elders may think they *should* see a provider 1st or that...

J. Offir, PhD @joffirphd.bsky.social · 1d

As reported on the news tonight: the CDC has just issued its covid vax recommendations, & they say even folks 65 & older should get advice from a provider before being vaccinated. That's even more restrictive than the ACIP's rec's, & will make it harder for high-risk folks like the elderly to get...

Very cool! Researchers from the US and Sweden used CRISPR technology to identify a crucial protein, LRP8, that the TBE virus requires to enter the central nervous system.

"LRP8's role as a TBEV receptor has implications for TBEV neuropathogenesis and the development of antiviral countermeasures."

LRP8 is a receptor for tick-borne encephalitis virus - PubMed

“Study challenges notion that Covid is ‘mild’ for children.”

You mean, just like EVERY OTHER STUDY on Covid in children?

This shouldn’t be framed as a surprise, or even news, but as established fact. The real question is why we’re still not trying to stop it.
