I managed to not get #covid throughout the pandemic.
However every 6 months I get reminded what a strong immune really is.
A minor inconvenience all things considered

People panicking about hantavirus like they're not walking around with their 9th case of covid and still not wearing a fucking mask.

If there was a simple way to avoid getting cancer โ€” to really reduce the risk โ€” would you follow instructions?

Great reporting from @lizszabo.bsky.social on the safety and effectiveness of the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine, as well as the pain and suffering (physical and mental) caused by HPV.

The antivax sentiment in one of the most notorious red states is trying to move forward with disabling and killing its populace, starting with kids.

Vaccines are available to prevent disease development for both bacteria. They are in the infant schedule and are available for high risks groups such as people who are immunodeficient or teenagers moving into crowded living conditions such as university halls and army barracks. https://healthify.nz/medicines-a-z/m/meningitis-vaccines and https://healthify.nz/medicines-a-z/p/pneumococcal-vaccine #getvaccinated #vaccine

Patients are refusing blood from vaccinated donors.

They can die.

We're slowly reaching a point where so many people will have been deeply effected by #Covid19 that the general populace will have a harder time ignoring it.

Long COVID potentially affects nearly 6 million children in the US. This South Shore teen is one of them

Defined as a chronic condition that lasts for at least three months after a COVID infection, long COVID is diagnosed not by a single test but by a pattern of symptoms that cannot otherwise be explained. Those symptoms can include fatigue, headaches, brain fog, sleep disruption, and pain, but they often look different depending on age.

Long COVID in children can be as common as asthma, experts say

In children, long COVID symptoms vary by age, possibly because of how the immune system develops.

As professionals who have had to reason and analyze antivax behavior, the comment that always stayed with me is that "People will remain willfully ignorant until it affects them directly".

As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

For some vaccine-hesitant parents...whoโ€™ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.

Theyโ€™re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that itโ€™s slowing down the outbreaks.

I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.
