Based on former guidance from a science-based CDC, I made appt for second dose of the 25-26 vaccine. Showed up & pharmacist refused (blaming “insurance,” which is false). 😤 Second pharmacist (diff loc) said there’s “no guidance,” but gave booster since I asked for it. 💪🏽 www.cdc.gov/media/releas...

CDC Recommends Second Dose of 2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccine for People 65 Years and Older and for People Who are Moderately or Severely Immunocompromised
Today, CDC Director Mandy Cohen endorsed the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

10/10 This was not present-day America. This was Germany in 1933. Before the camps were full. Before the war. Before the word Nazi carried its final meaning. When people say “don’t call MAGA Nazis,” history replies: if the shoe fits…

9/10 Ordinary people adapt. They avoid certain topics. Stop defending risky friends. Learn when to look away. “Politics isn’t my business,” they say. Life continues, which becomes proof, to them, that nothing fundamental has changed.

8/10 Observers argue endlessly about what’s happening. Some say the leadership is moderating. Others warn it’s getting worse. Many insist it can’t go too far. This is a modern society, they say. There are courts. Laws. Institutions. Traditions. Surely there are limits.

7/10 Teachers are dismissed. Civil servants are replaced. Clergy are warned to stay out of public life. Some comply. Some don’t. Those who don’t begin to disappear. Each step is labeled temporary. Emergency measures always are.

6/10 One day, certain businesses are marked. Not closed by law. Just boycotted. Doctors lose patients. Lawyers lose clients. Shops stand empty. It’s framed as discipline, not discrimination. Just a message. Just for now.

5/10 Newspapers still print every morning, but something shifts. Certain stories disappear. Certain words stop appearing. Editors learn which lines not to cross. Reporters learn that curiosity has consequences. Everything sounds calmer. Flatter. Safer.

4/10 Uniformed men begin arriving at night. Not everywhere. Just enough that everyone hears about it. People are taken without warrants or charges. The phrase used is “protective custody.” It sounds bureaucratic. The bruises don’t.

3/10 Then someone nearby vanishes for a few days. When he comes back, he looks hollowed out. He won’t explain where he’s been. People lower their voices when his name comes up. Someone says, “He must’ve done something wrong.”

2/10 There is violence, but it’s described as controlled. Temporary. Only aimed at “dangerous elements.” Most people don’t see themselves in that category, so they accept the explanation. It’s easy to believe danger is reserved for others.

1/10 At first, life feels intact. Cafés are crowded. Trains run on time. People complain about work, gossip about neighbors, plan weekends. New flags appear everywhere, but flags always come and go. Officials call this a return to order. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Why has “banana republic” become the favorite new phrase? I don’t think it’s an accurate description. Is it because people are afraid to say “authoritarian regime” or “dictatorship”?

Our body makes 425,000 times MORE formaldehyde per day than what might be in a vaccine. Levels of formaldehyde in: • Your body at any time • A pear • A vaccine Aren’t harmful. We need context & nuance when discussing science, not fearmongering. Read more: 🔗 news.immunologic.org/p/every-huma... 🔗
