The growing politicization of vaccines isn't going to serve the United States well, six former #ACIP chairs warn in an opinion piece in @statnews.com. The result will be more illness and deaths from preventable diseases & an erosion of #pandemic preparedness. statnews.com/2025/06/20/acip-c

The 3yr rolling average stats are still depressed due to the #pandemic, but #VRE definitely saw upticks in Feb/2025.

VRE Fredericksburg and Manassas line ridership numbers. Feb 2025 and more recently are 2.5x higher than the 3yr rolling average.

The Covid-19 pandemic as a social mechanism driving biographical change

This line from Lucy Easthope’s new book (pg 4) reminds me of the paper I never finished about Covid-19 as a reflexive imperative in Margaret Archer’s sense i.e. an event to which everyone has no choice but to respond, even if those responses might differ in dramatic ways:

The long, difficult years of the coronavirus pandemic and the global lockdown showed that disasters don’t just happen to other people. Every one of us experienced the pandemic differently and with different types of loss. But all of our lives were bent out of their normal shapes by something over which we had no control.

In this sense I think we need to see it as the immediate context for pretty much anything micro-social* we examine in our present circumstances. There’s a deeper sense of disruption she describes on pg 36 which was less evenly distributed through the population:

Most people will experience unwanted change or loss at some point int heir lives. Sometimes it will feel very surmountable, but at other times it will divide our lives into the time before and the time after. This can be true of events, but it can also be true of feelings and relationships. You can forget that help and allegiance and ways to get through are out there, that there is light in the dark.

*Macro-socially too, but in a different way.

longcovid has surpassed asthma!

The 10-year goal is coming closer.
You can find more information here:

thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid-

The idea of a 10-year goal was born in 2021, when the #pandemic was declared over. After 10 years of at least one infection per year and a #longcovid prevalence of 10% per infection, the pandemic will finally be recognised as something that requires sustained change.

"The administration's actions are gutting our deterrence from biological threats," said Beth Cameron, PhD, a senior adviser to the Brown University #Pandemic Center and a former director at the White House National Security Council. "Canceling this investment is a signal that we are changing our posture on pandemic preparedness," she added, "and that is not good for the American people."

I completed The Last of US season 2, then I binge-watched Earth Abides, followed by Station Eleven I just finished.
