It occurred to me today that even though over 1 million Americans have died from Covid, we have no national memorial or national day day of mourning and how the powers that be have decided to memory hole the whole thing and how wrong this is.

Democratic members of the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic defended Dr. Anthony ahead of Monday's hearing about the response, policies & transparency.

The representatives blasted ’ claims of Fauci’s involvement in starting [for real they had to say this] or covering up the pandemic as a “dangerous” & “cartoonish” narrative.

I am far more terrified about the pending virus that is spreading than at the latter’s worst.

👉🏾 U.S. to make millions of bird flu vaccine doses this summer, as cases grow https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bird-flu-vaccine-doses-this-summer-cases/

COVID’s fatality rate was between 1%-3% (which is usually high for a virus).

I have read reports about H5N1 having close to 60% fatality rate. I need to stock up on masks again.

    I dunno if anyone will not have heard, but the fancy Cue Health NAAT molecular test, with the handheld gizmo, has been revealed to be a near-fraud. The FDA found that the company implemented non-approved changes to reagent formulations and device firmware post-EUA that will have significantly reduced the test’s accuracy.

    In response to the FDA’s letter, the company elected to go out of business.

    Don’t use these tests.

    Interesting, thanks!

    This part caught my eye:

    "Interestingly, several symptoms characterizing Long-COVID19 mirror the Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome [POTS] that represents the most common form of dysautonomia causing orthostatic intolerance …

    The autonomic symptoms reported after SARS-CoV-2 infection are often underestimated by patients and unrecognized by treating physicians."

    Aaaand because I am younger than 65, I have been turned down by three pharmacies in my area for a COVID booster. The last one I had was in early October 2023.

    I need to travel by air from the US west coast to the MAGA COVID cesspool called "the state of Florida" for my mother's memorial in July and I am desperate to get boosted.

    Because I am near the Canadian border, I hoped to get one across the border but their guidelines seem to be the same as in the US.
