The single most important thing we can do to end the pandemic is vaccinate people who haven't yet been vaccinated.
Covid vaccines were developed fast, but they weren't rushed—mRNA technology has been researched for more than 20 years. We're fortunate that it works extraordinarily well for the virus that causes Covid, and it may also work for other viruses, such as influenza, in the future.
Vaccination gives you a head start against Covid by preparing your immune system to recognize and kill the virus if you're exposed.
The reason we're seeing alarming rates of hospitalizations and deaths in the US is because many people are still unvaccinated. Booster shots may help some people, but our biggest challenge is vaccinating those who haven't gotten their first shot. https://t.co/jXsrSjLWJH

I think about this constantly. I couldn't believe it when I saw it for myself -- the striking difference between how staff treated people who had visible family (even if the family wasn't there) and the ones who didn't. And with Covid, no one could have anyone by their side.
This is a horrifying story, and one worth reading, and it reminds me: Covid shut down the ability of family to be with their loved ones who were sick and advocate for them -- and if you don't have a visible advocate, our healthcare system treats your body like trash. https://t.co/gbXaGkUlUa
Just incredibly hard to listen to the mayor's answers to repeated questions about why he didn't talk to any Rikers inmates or rank-and-file correction officers. None of the problems are new, he says, and he didn't need to be reminded of things he already knows. Unreal.

@MikeGrunwald @ABarnardNYT It's the game-it-out box. Journalists who cover politics sometimes seem to have a tough time stepping outside of it. Climate issues end up being covered in separate stories.

In response to @SenBlumenthal question re who at DOD is in charge of evacuation, Austin cites Amb John Bass at State Dept and says there is a GO on Bass' team.
Immediately after Milley's statement, @SecDef Austin gives a starkly different assessment, says US credibility among allies/adversaries remains strong.
Wow. Milley says US credibility is being 'intensely reviewed' after Afghanistan events and agrees with @SenatorWicker that it was damaged.
Milley says one potential reason US failed to anticipate the collapse of ANSF was that US had pulled advisers back from Afghan units as part of previous drawdown and thus didn't really have pulse of units.

Eddie decided they would instead drag and carry Dragon, even though it would take longer and cost the wounded man precious time. SEALs say Eddie told Dragon to keep quiet about what happened. Here's Eddie dragging the wounded man. https://t.co/F5jHTbzk9R
Inside the house, Corey Scott and Gallagher began treating Dragon. SEALS say Gallagher and his officer in charge decided not to call an evac helicopter because they were in an area off limits to the SEALs (too close to enemy territory) and they didn't want to get caught. https://t.co/2rgjVZKu7F
Going up an exposed stairway, Dragon was shot in the pelvis -- a nasty and potentially fatal wound. SEALs Corey Scott (no helmet) and Ivan Villanueva rushed to treat him while SEALS Josh Vriens and Chris Shumake laid down cover fire. Gallagher was safe inside. https://t.co/G6a3uLfTki
More photos from ALPHA. This is one of the platoon EOD techs, St. John Mondragon. The guys called him Dragon. In Mosul he was shot by a snipers bullet after, SEALs said, Eddie Gallagher picked a sniper hide he swore was safe, but was, in fact, exposed to enemy snipers. https://t.co/aHkRG25dcz

Lots of discussion of US role in global vaccine equity but Europe's disappointing role has largely escaped scrutiny. Europe (🇪🇺+🇳🇴+🇮🇸 ) has: -administered 561 million doses internally -pledged donations of ~500 million doses -delivered only 34 million (~7%) doses so far 1/2
It doesn't preclude a winter surge later. But schools have been open long enough that it's looking somewhat unlikely we'll have a national COVID surge caused by school re-openings. Cases are still falling in most of the country. https://t.co/i8ElZQJZ5p https://t.co/wunbuvY1FN
When I got Covid in 2020 and spent weeks in the hospital, it was harrowing. But it was nothing compared to what my family is dealing with now—also as a result of Covid. This is a Covid horror story in which no one actually gets Covid, and it could still happen to anyone 🧵
The vaccine mandate is a clarifying example of police unions being entirely indifferent to public safety, because there’s no risk at all to the officers and no real opportunity to frame it as somehow leading to more crime.

@jeremyfaust @JoshuaBeckmanMD @MarkELindsay @ASlavitt @mvankerkhove @DrTedros @IngridKatzMD We are told—especially by wealthy nations—that balancing domestic doses & global donations is not a zero-sum game. But…it actually is. Doses ARE limited. Most are held by rich countries. The U.S. has held onto boosters for months that could’ve already saved lives around the 🌍.
@jeremyfaust @JoshuaBeckmanMD @MarkELindsay @ASlavitt @mvankerkhove @DrTedros @IngridKatzMD We must do 3 things to address global inequity: 1. Redistribute excess doses now. NOT when they’re about to expire. 2. Remove IP barriers 3. Share the tech & know-how for vaccine manufacturing. The focus must remain on 1st doses everywhere, not 3rd doses in wealthy countries.
The rate of loss is now in line with the Intergovernmental Panel's worst-case scenarios on Climate Change. Over the period studied, the rate of ice loss accelerated by 57%, from 0.8tn tonnes a year in the 1990s to 1.2tn tonnes a year by 2017. https://t.co/r04XoHCgKB

@OpheliasMarbles @RadioFreeTom @ericowensdc @DDFStrand Hopefully. I have been shocked to learn how far into a liberal arts major you can be at some large universities while encounting nothing but multiple choice or short answer exams in textbook-based courses
@OpheliasMarbles @RadioFreeTom @ericowensdc @DDFStrand the right loves to beat up on gender/race "studies" or art history, but there are far far far more underemployed people with degrees in business, communications, hospitality, concrete management, etc than those fields
@OpheliasMarbles @dburbach @ericowensdc @DDFStrand Somewhere along the line, we convinced people that only losers don’t go to college. This was a pernicious lie fostered across the political spectrum.
@OpheliasMarbles @dburbach @ericowensdc @DDFStrand And then quit.
@RadioFreeTom @ericowensdc @DDFStrand My own extended family fits this pattern almost to cliche: my generation is almost 100% graduate schooled + moved far away, or, no college, never moved away, often unstable relationships and/or addiction, now often antivax. Nobody in between.
@dburbach @ericowensdc @DDFStrand There is no greater resentment than people with “some college“ or a degree from a local university that prepares them to do absolutely nothing.
@ericowensdc @DDFStrand @RadioFreeTom 40 years ago there'd have been a lot more responsibility and decision making power in the hands of a manager of a local department store, vs now a WalMart manager's sphere of control and required skill level (and pay) is much lower, with more done by central IT in Bentonville

@dburbach @ericowensdc @DDFStrand All of this is true and I agree with it.

When they found him he was blue and had an oxygen level of 50. He did not have Covid. He was taken to the ER and put on a ventilator, but they had to put him in *a storage room* because there physically not enough space due to all the unvaccinated Covid cases.
What happened was that while in the hospital, my dad caught viral pneumonia that went unnoticed. The whole state was in lockdown, and every hospital ICU was filling up with unvaccinated Covid patients. There weren't enough resources. The governor begged people to get vaxxed.
Twenty-four hours later, he was off the vent and his oxygen levels were restored. My siblings, who live closer, flew in. I spoke to him, and he was out of it but okay. Surely he would get treatment now. We thought that was the worst of it. It was not.
When I called and he admitted that he was in the hospital, he was more annoyed than anything else. He tripped, he hurt his leg, couldn't go home for a week or so. How irritating. How dumb. He blamed himself. He loved me, hoped I was well, he was fine, etc. That was the last call.
It was later explained to me that this hospital decided to *re-intubate my father* due to a lack of hospital resources. They couldn't manage. He could not see a cardiologist or a pulmonologist, they were all busy. They could not run the needed tests. So they kept him on the vent.

In August my dad was living independently in rural New Mexico, as he has for years, in a beautiful place with a view of the mountains. He got vaxxed against Covid as soon as it was available, wore masks, and was waiting out the pandemic like the rest of us. Then, he had a fall.
