According to a new book, #Trump's #COVID-19 infection was much worse than he let on--and his actions may have led others to avoid precautions which may have saved their lives. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/06/trump-covid-infection-much-worse-than-we-knew.html [www slate com]

Person: These #COVID-19 vaccines are the least tested vaccines since medical regulations were established.
Me: Did you miss the 1976 "Swine Flu" H1N1 influenza vaccine? Or the pertussis vaccine that failed in San Diego about ten years ago? Did you miss that Moderna's tests had 35K subjects and BioNTech/Pfizer had 40K in their tests? I think you need to redo your research, because your statement is false.
I really need to just let people *be wrong on the Internet*.

California's population is about 43% fully-vaccinated for #COVID-19. It'd be better if the number was 70% or 80%.

Paper examines literature around gain-of-function and zoonotic origin, says there is not enough evidence to decide whether #SARS-CoV-2 ( the #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19 ) became infectious to humans through either method.

I still don't understand how political beliefs got tangled up in #COVID-19 restrictions and vaccines. If there's a virus that can kill me being rapidly spread by people before they even know they have it, I'm not waiting for pollies to decide whether I should avoid exposure, even if there was a politician I liked.

Studying the origins of #SARS-CoV-2 and the #COVID-19 outbreak.
> The virus that caused the pandemic is known officially as SARS-CoV-2, but can be called SARS2 for short. As many people know, there are two main theories about its origin. One is that it jumped naturally from wildlife to people. The other is that the virus was under study in a lab, from which it escaped. It matters a great deal which is the case if we hope to prevent a second such occurrence.
> I’ll describe the two theories, explain why each is plausible, and then ask which provides the better explanation of the available facts. It’s important to note that so far there is no direct evidence for either theory. Each depends on a set of reasonable conjectures but so far lacks proof. So I have only clues, not conclusions, to offer. But those clues point in a specific direction. And having inferred that direction, I’m going to delineate some of the strands in this tangled skein of disaster.

State and local government agencies ignored a #COVID-19 hotspot in their vaccination scheme, so a community group stepped in to hold a vax clinic at a local church.

Remember when the #GA governor forbade Atlanta and surrounding cities from enforcing #COVID-19 restrictions except what the state itself instituted?
Someone working in #AZ told me their governor is doing the same thing. (Well, I'm not sure whether my contact meant restrictions or actively seeking to vaccinate people. It was a short conversation.)

I admit that it does bother me a little when experts are very sure of something that they have no way of knowing. It is okay to say that we do not really know where #SARS-CoV-2 came from and thus do not know how the #COVID-19 outbreak started.

I’m just hearing of these people today. Apparently, #CORE started in response to the Haitian #earthquake, and has expanded into Puerto Rico, Louisiana, Georgia, and California. I see their bright yellow safety vests as I pass #COVID-19 vaccination sites each day.

About 70 children in #Michigan hospitalized with #COVID-19 https://nu.federati.net/url/280879 [www nbcnews com] ...
The UK’s B.1.1.7 variant (more transmissible; more severe) believed to be part of the reason ... but I’ve also seen articles where they say #MI residents have gone from 70% mask use to 30%. That’s likely also a part of it.

USians: if you've completed your #COVID-19 vaccine, you should sign up at vsafe.cdc.gov. They ask for some info, then send you regular text messages linking a short health survey, so they can track any reactions you have over the next six? weeks.
