Great news for uninsured adults in the USA who want a COVID-19 booster! It now appears that ALL CVS locations are now active participants in the Bridge Access Program. The Bridge Access Program gives out free Covid-19 vaccinations to 18+ adults who otherwise can't afford one, so if you have a CVS near you, please go get one! For others who don't have a CVS near them, please go to vaccines.gov, click on "Find Covid-19 vaccines", fill out which vaccines you prefer (you can mix different vaccines if you have to so i reccomend just marking all of them for the age groups you need), and when the next page loads mark the "Bridge Access Program Participant" option to see only locations that are Bridge Access Program participants. Hopefully, other places that aren't CVS will start participating soon, so just check back every so often to see if there are any updates. The CDC Bridge Access Program website also has more details on what locations will be participating, but only CVS is appearing as an active participant on the vaccines.gov location finder at the moment.

If you live in the U.S. and you’re 12+, you’re eligible for the updated bivalent anti-omicron booster shot, and it should be available in your  local pharmacy. 
Please reblog this post, as there’s been very little news coverage and shockingly little propagation of information about the availability of updated boosters.

Pfizer 🤔

Two Idaho lawmakers have introduced a bill to charge those who administer mRNA vaccines with a misdemeanor.
Sen. Tammy Nichols, R-Middleton, and Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, sponsored HB 154. It was introduced in the House Health & Welfare Committee on Feb. 15 by Nichols. According to the bill text, "A person may not provide or administer a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid technology for use in an individual or any other mammal in this state."
That person would then be charged with a misdemeanor.
Nichols said during her presentation to the committee, "We have issues this was fast tracked."
Nichols said there is no liability, informed consent or data on mRNA vaccines. She later clarified she was referring to the two COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna.
"I think there is a lot of information that comes out with concerns to blood clots and heart issues," Nichols said.
Rep. Ilana Rubel, D-Boise, questioned Nichols' statement that the vaccines were fast-tracked. She said her understanding was that the vaccines were approved and survived the testing, later approved by the FDA.
Nichols said she is finding it "may not have been done like we thought it should've been done."
"There are other shots we could utilize that don't have mRNA in it," Nichols said.
MRNA is a molecule that assists in making proteins. The COVID-19 vaccines, which are known as mRNA vaccines, help your body make proteins that mimic the COVID virus to help bodies fight off the infection, according to John Hopkins Medicine. MRNA was discovered in the early 1960's, John Hopkins states. Some were used to fight the Ebola virus. Researchers are also currently working to use mRNA to prevent other respiratory viruses.
The bill requires a future vote in the committee to pass onto the House floor for debate.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton could’ve saved himself a lot of trouble by checking the state’s own numbers beforehe sued Pfizer.
The Texas Department of State Health Services even put the figures into easy-to read charts: A soaring gray line depicting the higher rate of COVID-19-related deaths among unvaccinated Texans over the past two years, hovering well above the blue and orange lines for deaths among those who got vaccines and boosters.
Unvaccinated Texans were “11x more likely to die of a COVID-19 associated illness” than fully vaccinated Texans, a bright green box tells visitors to the state-run COVID-19 Deaths dashboard.
But the COVID-19 dashboard doesn’t make headlines. Paxton does. And his latest crusade, a lawsuit accusing Pfizer of misrepresenting the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine, spins an anti-vax tale at odds with state data and Texans’ experience.

#Novavax vs mRNA vaccine This thread explains how @Novavax is different from the #Moderna and #Pfizer #mRNA #vaccines and describes some of the benefits such as broadened #variant recognition, more durable #immunity, and fewer side effects.
This is an awesome thread explaining all of the above + recommendations for primary layers of protection like ventilation, filtration, and masking.
Notable:
What about people who had mRNA doses previously but want to consider Novavax? There have been several studies now that found mixing the two, getting mRNA and then Novavax actually gave better results than just mRNA on its own.
One study found that getting Novavax as a booster after mRNA "may enhance the persistence and durability of vaccine-mediated immunity compared to mRNA options" ...with slower decay rate compared to an mRNA booster dose and less side effects than mRNA boosters
While vaccines are important, they should be the last layer of protection to rely on in case all the other layers fail and you get exposed. Vaccines should not be the one and only layer governments all seem to be currently relying on.

The complaint charged that despite Pfizer’s representations that its COVID-19 vaccine was 95% effective, more Americans died from the virus in 2021 — after the vaccine became available — than died in 2020. Paxton alleged that the true effectiveness of the vaccine amounted to a mere 0.85%.
This is a frivolous lawsuit based on Paxton cherry picking data and using it in dishonest ways.
The Pfizer vaccine has proven its effectiveness in real world analyses. For instance, both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were proven effective in this study of "136,532 individuals in the Mayo Clinic health system (Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin)" based on COVID infection, hospitalization, and ICU admission rates, beginning a week after the 2nd vaccine shot.
The real-world vaccine effectiveness of preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection was 86.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 82.4%–89.1%) for BNT162b2 and 93.3% (95% CI: 85.7%–97.4%) for mRNA-1273. BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 were 88.8% (95% CI: 75.5%–95.7%) and 86.0% (95% CI: 71.6%–93.9%) effective in preventing COVID-19-associated hospitalization. Both vaccines were 100% effective (95% CIBNT162b2: 51.4%–100%; 95% CImRNA-1273: 43.3%–100%) in preventing COVID-19-associated ICU admission. [color emphasis added]
Or as one person (acumenata) in the above Law & Crime article's comments section wrote:
The short answer [about why Paxton is suing Pfizer] is because he sucks at math, sucks at logic, and didn't read his state's own 2021 reports: Texas has seen nearly 9,000 COVID-19 deaths since February. All but 43 were unvaccinated people. https://www.texastribune.or... Unvaccinated Texans make up vast majority of COVID-19 cases and deaths this year, new state data shows https://www.texastribune.or... Texas must contend with outsized death toll from COVID-19 and anti-vaccine attitudes https://kinder.rice.edu/urb... [color emphasis added]
Aside from all of this, why is Ken Paxton still allowed to serve as Texas Attorney General? Why has he not yet been tried for his two felony fraud charges? Why is he allowed to file one frivolous lawsuit after another based on right-wing disinformation?

“I hope we don’t find out that somehow this mRNA lingers in the body and like -- because it has to be affecting something hormonal to impact menstrual cycles,” he said.
“I hope we don’t discover something really bad down the line…If something were to happen downstream and it was, like, really bad? I mean, the scale of that scandal would be enormous.”

If you plan on getting boosted against COVID-19 this winter, then you might want to do it sooner rather than later. Pfizer’s COVID vaccine is going to cost more in the coming months as the pharmaceutical company announced it will nearly quadruple the price of a shot in 2023.
[...]
The price hike is about 100 times what it costs to actually manufacture the drug, and amounts to a 10,000% markup, according to estimates from international nonprofit Oxfam based on data from consumer advocacy Public Citizen and the Imperial College, London.

Laura Clawson at Daily Kos:
Taylor Swift left Arrowhead Stadium with Kansas City NFL star Travis Kelce after cheering him on in his Sunday game while seated next to his mother. And yes, there’s a political angle here, thanks to the likes of right-wing personality Charlie Kirk—and thanks to Kelce’s own decisions. At age 33, he’s presumably contemplating what his life after the NFL will look like. Swift’s attendance at the game followed rumors that she and Kelce were dating, as well as him publicly reiterating an invitation to her to come to a game. All this focused attention on Kelce and his recent endorsement decisions, which are legitimately interesting. In the wake of the right-wing boycott of Bud Light for its promotion with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Kelce appeared in an ad for Bud Light. Last week, he appeared in a Pfizer commercial for COVID-19 and flu vaccination. “With my schedule, saving time is key,” Kelce wrote on Instagram, alongside the video. “The CDC says you can get this season’s updated COVID-19 shot when you get your flu shot if you’re due for both. That’s why I got two shots in one stop! Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it would be right for you. You can also visit CDC’s vaccines.gov to learn more and schedule an appointment.”
This is not a guy looking to steer clear of controversy—he’s making money while telling us something about his values. He surely had other, equally lucrative endorsement offers. Kelce had taken some incoming fire over the Bud Light endorsement, including predictable labels like “woke.” But having Swift show up cheering for him renewed the attention on those decisions in predictably gross ways. [...] But here’s the thing: Swift and Kelce are huge stars—one a wee bit bigger than the other—in their respective fields, and they’ve made the decisions they’ve made, including Kelce’s endorsements and Swift pushing voter registration and making sure her “Eras” tour movie was made under an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA, all with an understanding of the likely political fallout. The rage that we see at a big macho white guy daring to not stay in line with the right-wing culture wars is telling, as is the specific attack on his masculinity. But Kelce clearly decided that he was fine with that when he made his endorsement decisions. Basically, this is yet another thing Republicans are welcome to die mad about.
Right-wing perpetual fit-throwers are up in arms about Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce for a multitude of reasons: his alleged romance with Taylor Swift and sponsoring Bud Light and Pfizer.
