The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
@luckytran @5ciFiGirl An ex-friend says COVID vaccines cause strokes. I live in a state that is waiting for the CDC’s OK for the new one. Because I live with a diabetic and teach in a high school classroom, I am going across state lines tomorrow to New Hampshire to get my 2025–26. It is ironic that the CDC is now so broken that I do not trust its advice and rush ahead; if I get that stroke he will have the last laugh.
@bmoreinis but your housemate and students will feel the love of your decision to try to protect them and yourself, with the best info you had at the time @luckytran @5ciFiGirl

@5ciFiGirl @MxVerda @luckytran funny thing: scheduled a Walgreens jab today in the next town, was turned away because under 65 and “We follow the CDC’s guidance. Go ask your doctor”. But my local Walgreens said “just walk in, no problem.” From states rights to towns rights in two days!
@MxVerda @luckytran @5ciFiGirl oh, I was never in doubt! It’s just that the freedom to ignore the CDC was never one I wanted, having argued so strongly for their standards of scientific rigor a few years ago.
