❗️HARD FACT—vaccines *do not* turn you into zombies. The zombie apocalypse movie “I am Legend” has spawned a #COVID19 vaccine conspiracy. The movie’s screenwriter @AkivaGoldsman even weighs in. Let’s rethink future Hollywood zombie movie plots? Thanks from this epidemiologist. 🙏
2) Yes, it’s damn sad I had to tweet that above^. Don’t believe it’s a real internet conspiracy thing? Well, careful while you step into the twilight zone.
3) this shit is real. The “I am legend” zombie movie conspiracy pops up in many focus groups too. Documented even in this earlier May 2021 WaPost piece.
4) damnit - even Will Smith the lead actor of “I am legend” had to weigh in. And he feels bad.
5) Okay @CDCgov, this isn’t funny anymore—it’s only fueling conspiracy crap now. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

📍BREAKING—the FDA is expected to authorize a third shot of Pfizer & Moderna #COVID19 vaccine as soon as Thursday for many people with weakened immune systems—to better protect them from the #DeltaVariant. This follows Israel—already started in July. 🧵

2) The expanded EUA covers people who have had solid organ transplants and others whose immune systems are similarly compromised. The development will give physicians latitude to recommend additional shots for those patients.
3) “At least 3 percent of Americans have weakened immune systems for a variety of reasons, from a history of cancer to the use of certain medications such as steroids.”

BREAKING— California will require all school teachers and staff to have proof of #COVID19 vaccination or be tested weekly. It’s the first state to do so. Mandates gain momentum both among public and private employers amid #DeltaVariant surge. #vaccinate
nytimes.com/2021/08/11/us/…
2) Many large companies, including Google, Disney, Tyson Foods and Microsoft, have announced some vaccination requirements for workers who would be returning to offices and plants.
3) While initially California officials emphasized they were merely encouraging everyone to get vaccinated, the governor announced late last month that the state would require health care workers and state government employees to be inoculated or be tested at least weekly.

NEW—The ⁦@CDCgov⁩ just recommended that pregnant women be vaccinated against the coronavirus, updating its advice after it found **no increased risk of miscarriage among those who have been immunized**. #vaccinate #COVID19 washingtonpost.com/health/2021/08…
2) Until now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said the vaccine could be offered during pregnancy; the recent update in guidance strengthens the official advice, urging pregnant people to be immunized.

3) “The new guidance brings the C.D.C. in line with recommendations made by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other medical specialty groups, which strongly recommend vaccination.

Sobering video—“We never saw this last year”—of numerous children and young adults hospitalized who were completely healthy, but now stricken with severe #DeltaVariant. ➡️best 3 minutes you’ll watch all day. Thanks to Dr. Catherine O’Neal of @LSU. #COVID19
2) Louisiana is the only state with higher #COVID19 rates than even Florida. All of the Deep South are now in full blown #DeltaVariant driven surge.
3) tons of kids now in pediatric ICUs. Pediatric ICUs now maxed out in many southern states. Don’t let kids be a statistic. Everyone in an ICU is fighting for their life like this boy. We must not stand for this in our society.

📍The 5 of top 10 worst hotspots for #DeltaVariant are pictured in this photo. Hospital ICU beds, particularly pediatric ICUs, are completely full/near full in hotspot states. #COVID19

P.s. Florida also outlaws mask mandates in schools—and suspends salaries of teachers who try.
2) Florida residents are completely dejected at the abominable pandemic response to all the sick and hospitalized kids.
3) Florida governor @GovRonDeSantis is the @jairbolsonaro of America.

📍Florida is one of the top 5 worst epicenters of #COVID19 in the entire 🌎. @GovRonDeSantis has gone mad. @RonDeSantisFL literally won’t do anything & refuses to allow schools to mandate masks—even suspend salaries of school leaders who try. #DeltaVariant is dangerous to kids.
2) seriously, Florida’s @GovRonDeSantis is near Bolsonaro level of crazy now.
3) Yes @GovRonDeSantis is just that cavalier with kids health. rawstory.com/desantis-schoo…
