• Who is eligible for a COVID shot? What to know about the FDA’s latest changes– “The FDA will no longer recommend annual COVID vaccinations for healthy people younger than age 65, officials said this week. Adults over age 65 and anyone over 6 months with one or more chronic or underlying health conditions, such as asthma, cancer, diabetes or pregnancy, are still recommended to get an updated shot.”

• COVID Shots for Kids Are Over– “Without an explicit FDA policy addressing the primary vaccine series for kids, the experts I spoke with said they weren’t sure how quickly access to the shots would dwindle for children. Current COVID vaccines for children could remain available until the next update. But if the CDC alters the recommendations for children, that could tank insurance coverage for the shots, or pediatricians’ willingness to stock them.”

COVID attacks every system. We know that it activates other conditions, like POTS, diabetes, cancer, with or without the long COVID diagnosis.

If you have had COVID before, you have some level of immunosuppression going on. Everything that was a risk factor before? Worse now.

• Spillovers from Public Health Policies in Schools: Evidence from COVID Mask Mandates– “We further estimate that the removal of [school mask] mandates during this time contributed to 21800 COVID deaths through the rest of 2022, 9% of the U.S. total that year…the bulk of these deaths were from spillovers to residents in the wider community

“If Covid damaged our immune systems, we would be seeing record outbreaks of other diseases.” That was the argument in 2022. Three years later, we’re having the worst resurgence of flu, tuberculosis, measles, and whooping cough in generations.

• Everything “That Friend” Wants You to Know About Covid– “Our politicians have colluded with corporate media to convince Americans they don’t need to worry about Covid anymore. As Julia Doubleday has documented in detail, a constant stream of reckless reporting has erased Covid from public discourse, framing it as a mild nuisance while portraying those who continue to protect themselves as weirdos trying to keep everyone from resuming their prepandemic lives.”
