#Covid waste water levels have decreased somewhat over the past two weeks, indicating that perhaps we have passed the peek of this current wave. A little early to know for sure. Still consider getting the Covid vax to reduce risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death.

#Covid cases are continuing to rise, especially in the West

Wastewater surveillance suggests that we may be at the beginning of a Covid wave. If you have not been #vaccinated in a while, now would be a good time. We are waiting for the fall vaccine strain to be released. @fda.gov - why are you taking so long?

We will not stay silent on vaccines, say leaders of five major U.S. medical associations “We cannot and will not gamble with our patients’ health or the health of our communities,” write the presidents of the AAFP, AAP, ACP, ACOG, and IDSA.

Vaccines are vital to our safety and to preserving the public health. We must fight to protect access to these important tools. www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/v...

We are learning that new ACIP members, appointed in a non-transparent process, are also, predictably, riddled with direct and indirect financial COI... including some who are paid experts in lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers.

This appears to be another blatent attempt by Sec Kennedy to undermine access to #vaccines. I fear what kind of individuals he will appoint to this prestigious and independent body. It is time for the nation to press for RFK’s resignation. www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...
