What should be required of law enforcement officers (LEOs): « Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice « National certification exam « Mandatory licensure in the state they are employed in, renewed at the LEO's expense every 2 years « Mandatory CEs every 2 years on use of force, de-escalation, constitutional law, sexual assault, racism, and more <<Loss of LEO license for misconduct, drug use, DUI, assault, murder, etc. Seem like a lot? Every nurse you know is held to these standards. @nursejenjo

The CDC's ACIP Sept. 18 and 19th meeting is now officially on their website. They have also scheduled another meeting for October 22nd and 23rd. No agenda for either meeting has been posted yet.

The September meeting will be accepting written comments from the public starting September 2nd and ending September 13th. You can also make a request to make an oral comment at the meeting itself. The details of how to do either of these are on their website at https://www.cdc.gov/acip/meetings/index.html.

"An ultra-conservative radio host [said...] that his sick wife [with stage 4 cancer] is unable to receive a #COVID-19 vaccination because of the policies of [JFK, Jr.]
“Just for all the people chiming in ignorantly, the vaccine does not prevent COVID for my wife, but it greatly minimizes the impact of the virus,” he explained. “It’s the difference between symptoms amounting to a runny nose and being bedridden for a prolonged period of time.”

CVS won’t offer the COVID vaccine in 16 states, including Massachusetts, due to state laws that vaccine recommendations must come from the ACIP committee of the CDC. (Currently there is no COVID vaccine recommend action from them.) No word if Walgreens will follow suit.

Frage: Gibt es demnächst wieder eine neue #COVID - #Impfung, die demnächst in Deutschland zugelassen wird und an die neusten Varianten angepasst ist?

Ich habe Ende September wieder eine größere Firmenveranstaltung, vor der ich mich nicht drücken kann, und hätte vorher lieber noch eine aktuelle Impfung...

CVS says it can't offer #covid #covid19 vaccines in 16 states until CDC's ACIP signs off first. Walgreens is saying they'll take appointments in those states, but they need a prescription first. The affected states are: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia, along with the District of Columbia. What an omnishambles.

In theory the CDC ACIP committee is meeting Sept 18th and 19th. #COVID #COVID19 vaccines, among others, are scheduled to be discussed.

However, Senator Cassidy, chair of the committee tasked with oversight of HHS, is asking that this meeting be postponed: https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/publichealth/117210

I don’t know how much good it does as a non-Louisiana resident, but I did send Cassidy an email asking him to fire RFKJr.

Here’s a list of everyone on the committee: https://www.help.senate.gov/about/members. The Capitol switchboard can connect you with any of the Senate offices: (202) 224-3121. Special message to my fellow introverts: you can always call after hours and leave a VM.

Unfortunately for America, #RFKJr is a fucking scientific illiterate, and there will be thousands of deaths, perhaps 10s of thousands, perhaps more, directly attributable to his lies and incompetence.

Hello, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

I want to start off with this message that appears at the top of the dashboard, that suggests that there will be a break on the state's respiratory dashboard data collection for a few weeks. Which surprises me, because two of the three King County Covid wastewater facilities pages did in fact get updated this week. The death and vaccination data seem to be out of date, so maybe they're just talking about that? I dunno.

With that, let's look at the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. The 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels has leveled off somewhat, albeit at a high level. Last data is from 8/19.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). New! the Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

The U.S. FDA has approved COVID-19 shots for fall, but with new restrictions that make affect what insurers cover. Here's more from NBC.

This Christina Jewett and Jacey Fortin article goes into more detail about what the CDC’s ACIP committee does next month might affect #covid #covid19 vaccine access. #giftlink

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/health/fda-covid-vaccines-rfk-jr.html?unlocked_article_code=1.hU8._fro.3ziYAJ_vibmU&smid=url-share

The FDA has issued the new #covid #covid19 vax rules now, according to this STAT story: https://www.statnews.com/2025/08/27/fda-covid-vaccines-kennedy-rescinds-emergency-use-authorization. If you're under 65 and don't have a condition that makes you high risk for severe illness, it's going to get more difficult to get these.

Pfizer says it can start shipping fall 2025 versions right away. Moderna says it will ship soon.

Where is the CDC's ACIP in all this? Beats me. I think US food and drug regulation is all vibes and magic incantations now.

There's some good news re COVID vaccines today. The FDA met today and approved the new ones, with restrictions.

But a CDC panel must approve them before pharmacies in many states are legally permitted to administer them. And RFK Jr has changed the make-up of that committee to add some vaccine skeptics and remove some longtime members.

"A decision by the C.D.C.’s panel is expected within a month."

😷 Never give up talking about covid. 💉

Yesterday, while talking with a resident they mentioned they signed up for the fall flu shot.
I asked about the covid vaccine to which they replied, "I have had several, that should be enough"
I explained how it mutates and vaccines try to keep up; the damage to the brain and internal organs with each infection; long covid, etc...
She signed up!
She is only one person, but it's better than one fewer.

#Covid #CovidIdNotOver

RFK Jr possibly/probably banning mRNA Covid vaccines in the near future? What an atrocious thing to do, leading to more death and long-term disability. The vaccines are such an amazing achievement, and he wants to toss that all away.

Since I'm probably flying to Florida in mid-December for my dad's 101st birthday, I really wanted to wait until at least mid-September to get my next Covid booster. (My last one was in January.) I think that should still be OK, but who knows for sure?

And after that I guess I'll just be continuing all my Covid-avoiding behaviors. Not that I had any plans to back off, anyway.

monday morning starts off with the sentiment, "at least it feels better than yesterday", a subjective statement when there's a fever involved and still no vocal cord control. I don't want another day of bed rest, very tired of bed, tired of downtime. stupid covid.

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration will move to pull the #COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast. https://trib.al/WswBEQy

More evidence that COVID disrupts your immune system for a long time afterwards, even if you don’t have “long COVID.” The post-infection effects are very bad.

Here is the highly technical article in the BMJ: https://www.bmj.com/content/390/bmj.r1733

Here is the tl;dr summary for laypeople:

A growing number of scientists believe that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may instead be subtly altering our immune systems. If correct, their hypothesis will change how we understand everything from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to shingles to sepsis.

😷 Sunday, Day 4 😷

14-18hrs/day downtime. All signs point to the local C19 variant "Nimbus". An especially problematic symptom is "razor blade throat", wrecking already 50% paralyzed vocal cords into complete silence.

Having to pause a couple of brain medications, like last time with C19, compounds the duration and severity of C19. Taking them anyway, worse, no not a good idea. Hopefully today will have the graph go into a positive direction.

Mask up. It's reported to be spreading around the SF/Bay area. Three vaccines and it's still this bad. 😐
