    I have the vaccine and every booster available. My partner picked up covid from work and now I have it. I’ve been bed-ridden for the past several days. It hurts when I swallow. Partner got over the worst of it relatively quickly but still has a gentle persistent cough.

    Thanks to all the bosses with their RTO policies and anti-vaxxers and all the politicians who let this thing rage on. I hope they all find themselves pushed off the edge of a cliff someday.

      Just saw this Ars article. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/01/anti-vaccine-nonsense-will-likely-kill-thousands-this-season-fda-officials-say/

      The US may be heading to a “dangerous vaccination tipping point,” with immunization rates falling so low that population-level immunity is now at risk, and we will likely see thousands of needless deaths this respiratory virus season, two top officials for the Food and Drug Administration warned in a recent JAMA commentary.

      Incredible. We’ve gone from practically eliminating polio to regressing into vaccine-denialism that’s so powerful that we are just risking resurgent communicable diseases. And the people responsible for this get to continue promoting and influencing the world. Hilarious!
