Thank you to all the MN Dept of Health and State of MN staff who made it possible for me to get my COVID-19 vaccination yesterday! I will admit I experienced tears of immense appreciation and gratitude as the needle went into the my arm (skillfully done I might add).

This will go down as one of the darkest days in modern scientific history in my 50 years in the business. These are going to be huge losses to the research and public health community.

Science just got sidelined. This isn’t about vaccine safety or restoring confidence —it’s about political agendas endangering public health. We should all be alarmed.

This school was located in a city where 72% of residents were fully vaccinated. Masks were required, 6 ft of distancing between desks, HEPA filters in classrooms, and windows left open. Yet 12 of 24 students in a classroom with their infected teacher tested positive.
New CDC MMWR finds #DeltaVariant can spread rapidly in schools with unvaccinated staff & students. Get a #COVID19 #vaccine. If you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated, wear a mask in public indoor spaces in areas with high or substantial spread. bit.ly/MMWR82721b

Vaccines save lives and reduce healthcare costs. Those are facts. It is dangerous that RFK Jr., a political figure with no medical or public health training, is the choice to take the nation’s most powerful and important public health job.

This is a brand new type of H5N1 virus activity. My description of over 40 million migratory waterfowl and their poop blowing in the wind with H5N1 virus attached isn't appealing but it is exactly what is happening and we're going to see more human cases related to that.

Please everyone, when it’s your turn, get vaccinated. It may save your life or that of someone you love! This virus (and pandemic) is not done with us. These vaccines are as close to real and magical pixie dust we can know!!!
PS thanks Erin!

You are much better off taking one day off because of mild to moderate vaccine side effects than a week or even multiple weeks due to an infection which could result in long COVID, serious illness, hospitalization, or even death.

It certainly doesn't make sense to call SARS-CoV-2 a winter seasonal virus when a majority of past surges did not occur in the winter months. COVID activity seems to be responding less to a particular season and more to new variant activity and patterns in waning immunity.

Hope is not a strategy. Humanity will not get ahead of a pandemic-causing virus without a commitment to action.
“If H5N1, or any other virus that begins to spread in the human population, sparks a pandemic with a fatality rate three to five percent higher than COVID-19, the world will be going to war against a terrifying microbial enemy.”

The public loses faith in vaccines not because of ACIP, but because of current HHS leadership who distort facts for personal and political agendas.
