  1. CVS keeps telling me I can get my flu vaccine now, at the same time I get my next Covid vax later this week. But I’ll wait until October, as recommended:

    The various medical groups stressed the need for patients of their members to receive flu, Covid, and RSV vaccines if recommended, and to get them at the appropriate time. Sarah Nosal, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, noted, for instance, that because the effect of flu vaccination can wane over the course of the season, the best time to get an influenza shot would be in October, which is typically closer to the start of the season.

  3. #PSA From someone who's been through it: you do NOT want to get dengue; if you visit Florida, take precautions (see first link). Beware: the dengue vaccine isn't available in the U.S., only if you are traveling abroad. No, it doesn't make sense, especially because, as the world warms, we'll see more Aedes mosquitos in the mainland.

  8. Oof, I did not expect the pneumonia vaccine to hit so hard! I barely have any reaction to flu or Covid, and I'm just grateful that the shingles vaccine is disappearing in my rearview mirror.
    My arm is all red and swollen and painful and the rest of me feels pretty crappy. But, not as bad as real pneumonia.

  13. Of course he did

    #RFKJr personally asked to remove #Pennsylvania #measles deaths from #CDC tally, sources say

    Kennedy’s request came after CDC staffers had already accepted the state’s characterization of the deaths as linked to measles, a Pennsylvania official said.

    Despite that, #EricaSchwartz, the recently appointed director of the CDC, agreed with Kennedy’s directive & implemented it WITHOUT OBJECTION, said the 3 sources….

  15. Was talking with @jennifer and we agree on this - growing up, we saw the climate crisis coming but didn't realize it would hit this soon. What we didn't see was American fascism or antivaxx becoming dominant narratives.

    For me in particular, I've been in love with the idea of AI since I was little. LLMs aren't it. I've never seen AI as tooling, I guess. I've seen it as a way to eventually create beings without our physical limitations.

    I'm an optimist, and I never considered capitalists seeing AI as a way to create slaves and displace workers.

    I'm going to get a copy of "Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech." I've ordered it from my local book store, but it's here at Barnes and Noble too:
