  1. A quotation from W. H. Auden

    Those who will not reason

  5. The Atlantic has a good article on the increasing discussions doctors are having with patients about #vaccines -- sometimes to address #hesitancy, sometimes to ensure availability.

  10. Growing numbers of Americans are buying into #misinformation about COVID-19 #vaccines, according to a new national survey, with 🆘more than one in five believing it's safer to get the virus than to get a shot.

    Belief in misconceptions is stoking #vaccine #hesitancy with the nation facing a
    💥summer surge of infections,
    💥more COVID-related #hospitalizations, and
    💥 updated shots now reaching pharmacy shelves.

    The big picture:
    The findings from the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center are further evidence of how
    ⚠️intense backlash to the government's at times muddled COVID response
    🔥eroded trust in public health, jeopardizing preparedness efforts to address future crises.

    The proliferation of vaccine #misinformation on social media has also outpaced efforts to counter it, Columbia University researchers found earlier this year.

    What they found:
    🔥28% of respondents to Annenberg's survey incorrectly believe that COVID-19 vaccines have been responsible for thousands of deaths,
    -- up from 22% in June 2021.

    The percentage who know this is false declined to 55% from 66%.

    22% believe the false idea that it's safer to get a COVID infection than to get the vaccine, up from 10% in April 2021, months after the shots were rolled out.

    The percent of those incorrectly believing that the COVID-19 vaccine changes people's DNA nearly doubled to 15% from 8% in April 2021.

    ⭐️Two-thirds of Americans still say the benefits of taking COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the risks.
    ❌But that's a lower percentage than those who said the same for the mpox vaccine (70%), RSV shots for adults 60 and older (74% when asked in October 2023), and the childhood measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (89% in August 2023).

    Just under half of those surveyed said they'd likely take a combined mRNA vaccine to protect against flu, RSV, and COVID-19 if one were offered and the Centers for Disease Control recommended it.

    👉27% say they would be "not at all likely" to take such a single-shot vaccine.

    Between the lines:
    Previous polling has shown sizable numbers of Americans who believe COVID vaccine misinformation know they're at odds with scientists and medical experts -- 🆘suggesting that educating people on the science behind vaccines won't change many minds.

    "A belief that persists across waves of a survey is probably less subject to change than a recently acquired one," said Annenberg Center director Kathleen Hall Jamieson.

    ⚠️The current wave also isn't heightening concern about the virus itself, the survey found.

    🔥Only one in five said they're somewhat or very worried that they or someone in their family will contract COVID, down from 25% in February and 35% in October 2023.

    The survey of 1,496 adults was conducted July 11-18 and has a margin of sampling error ± 3.6% at the 95% confidence level.

  15. In most states – including Texas – dog owners are required to give their pets a rabies shot every three years. Health officials say the shots keep rabies – a disease with a 99% fatality rate for humans and animals – at bay.

  20. @spacekookie
    You've accurately described the part of #FOSS that is disconcerting. We've come across it on numerous occasions, across too many softwares to mention.

    One can only hope the PeertubeDev comes around after the initial #hesitancy has worn off.

    Or the issue gets addressed by another dev.

    Thanks for sharing.
