This isn’t the first time New York has tried to ban masks. Both Hochul and Mayor Adams have previously said they want to ban masks, with Adams using Luigi Mangione as an excuse to push for them a few months ago.

Mask bans don’t stop crime. They just stop people from safely accessing public spaces:

Look after the poorest & most vulnerable in your society & country.

Those that can look after themselves will do so.

Those 1% that are wealthier than all of the rest of us, if they live in this country, should WANT the best for it, right?

Why is this controversial?

Coronavirus found in samples from 96% of flights

If you believe it's now safe to fly without a protective mask, you might want to think again. New research shows the COVID-19 virus has been found on nearly every flight tested.

Once again, getting infected with multiple pathogens does not help your innate immune system, it harms it.

The small potential benefit of an adaptive immune response to a specific pathogen is not worth the risk of an infection.

#LongCovid
New research from Denmark suggests that children who have a lot of common infections early in life have higher risk of moderate to severe infections and antibiotic use later in childhood.

So, the opposite of building immune muscle?

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

1. For obvious reasons, there is currently a considerable amount of discussion regarding the efficacy of lockdowns as public health measures. It's very important to be mindful of a few points regarding this media discourse.

There will likely be another airborne pandemic within decades. (Possibly much sooner with avian flu). If you want to avoid the binary choice between "close down schools / lockdown" and "let everyone get infected" then sign this for govt to prepare now.

I rarely challenge the decisions of JCVI but I really struggle to see the logic of stopping the antenatal vaccine offer with Autumn COVID 💉 campaign.

There is good evidence of protection against infection from maternally derived vaccine-induced antibodies in the first 6 months of an infant’s life.
