#CDC chief blocked a #covid #vaccine study. Now it’s in a top medical journal.
The study, which had been slated for publication in March in the CDC’s Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report, found that the #covid19 vaccine reduced the risk of ER visits & hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half last winter. [And]…the vaccine can help reduce the risk of severe illness in adults even after accounting for immunity from prior #vaccination or infection.

We still mask in close-contact public situations. Are we being ridiculously paranoid?

Stumbled across this photo I took of empty shelves at Target at the start of #covid lockdowns in March 2020. #photography #pandemicPhotos
The 1913 yearbook of Simmons College in #Boston included this bright red square, to mark the class of 1913's experience with scarlet fever as freshmen (apparently the students were sent home, and had to make up the time during warmer summer months). Makes me wonder about whether (and how) recent school yearbooks have marked #COVID shutdowns. (I know that a lot of colleges don't have #yearbooks anymore.) #scarletfever @simmonsuniv
