Stricter Covid 19 restrictions could have saved up to 250,000 lives.

"Between 118,000 and 248,000 more Americans would have survived the pandemic if all states had followed some restrictions practiced in Northeastern states, according to findings published Friday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)."

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.

This is not as recent as I'd like (10 months ago), and you probably have already seen it, but here it is just in case. It explains the differences between how mRNA and Novavax vaccines work, and advantages of the Novavax formulation. Although I'm in the U.S., Novavax has not been available in my area in the past; if I can get it this fall, I will. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1700854098755563660.html

It's likely to pass the Senate, but we have a great chance of killing it in the House if lots of people speak out right now

Write and call yr lawmakers: https://www.StopKOSA.com

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!
