Whoa—@politico is now owned by a new German parent company BILD that is:

📌”bitterly ”anti-immigration
📌Pro-Trump in leaked memos
📌anti-COVID safety measures?

Ummmm, why is a right wing foreign media corporation now controlling a DC political outlet?
nytimes.com/2021/10/17/bus…
2) to be clear, Bild is the flagship publication of Axel Springer, a titan of German media. The company is now focusing much of its energy on the United States.
3) Bild leadership also tolerated workplace sexual harassment exploitation among its editors and even promoted him??? Jeez.
4) ummmm what…. “SCREW, PROMOTE, FIRE”??? Apparently the top editor at Bild had a “Reichelt System” for inviting female trainees named after him?

For the “kids are practically immune” crowd out there…. is this 2-year old intubated on a ventilator for 5 days—an “acceptable” level of kids illness? Zero kids are supposed to be intubated nor die. Zero. #COVID19 goodmorningamerica.com/wellness/story…
2) Anyone who says we need to “learn to live” with the virus needs to visit the memorials of all those who have died and tell me exactly just how many flags is “acceptable” for their their partying and social life.
3) we don’t “learn to live” with suffocating pillows or cribs. We should not learn to live with 20 kids a week dying of COVID last month as something that we should ever repeat!

So, I worry kids vaccine rollout might hit supply bottlenecks—➡️ latest info says it will not be possible to simply use existing adult Pfizer vaccine stock to draw up 1/3 adult dose, to use for kids. Kids shots will come in *new 10-dose vials*—to be still shipped out!🧵 #COVID19
2) The reason we cannot just cut the adult dose is that doing so would result in an injection volume of 0.1mL, which is considered too small for intramuscular injection. Instead, there will be a new diluted formulation of the vaccine for use in age 5-11—0.2mL doses with 10 mcg
3) Initial doses will be allocated to the states, which will then direct them to individual practices and perhaps other locations. Doctors offices and pharmacies will be able to request doses, but are not guaranteed to receive the number they request.

I don’t recall any leader who say we should “LEARN TO LIVE” with Ebola, rabies, or HIV. We shouldn’t “learn to live” with #COVID19 either. If we do, this is the price we will pay for years to come 👇, plus maim an entire generation with #LongCovid.
2) We don’t live with iron lung machines because we vaccinated and have nearly eliminated polio.
3) we don’t “learn to live” with suffocating pillows or cribs. We should not learn to live with 20 kids a week dying of COVID last month as something that we should ever repeat!

📍JUST IN—FDA is planning to allow people to receive a different #COVID19 vaccine as a booster than initially received. Recent NIH study shows J&J recipients who got a Moderna booster saw antibody levels ⬆️76-fold in 15 days, vs 4x after an extra J&J shot.
nytimes.com/2021/10/18/us/…
2) Federal regulators this week are aiming to greatly expand the number of Americans eligible for booster shots. The F.D.A. is expected to authorize boosters of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines by Wednesday evening; it could allow the mix-and-match approach by then.
3) An advisory committee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will take up the booster issue on Thursday; the agency will then issue its own recommendations. By the end of the week, tens of millions more Americans could be eligible for extra shots.

📍Folks need to know this—#ColinPowell had multiple myeloma—a cancer of plasma cells that **makes antibodies**. Thus, vaccines are weaker in myeloma patients because we kill the cells that make antibodies with our myeloma treatments. Please vax to protect others.🧵

HT @VincentRK
2) Where are the studies proving this? Myeloma patients are extremely weak responders to vaccines because we killed off the immune cells to treat the cancer.
3) myeloma cancer patients have very very weak immune systems, and well known to have high COVID mortality already because of it.

📍FACT: Popcorn 🍿 is the number one whole-grain in the American diet. Whole grains are health and prevent diabetes, heart disease and strokes. But…

📍SAD FACT: Most popcorn eaten is buttered🧈 or salted🧂

📍SADDER: Microwave🍿 can cause lung 🫁 scarring if hot fumes inhaled.
2) That bag of microwave popcorn may smell good, but it's best to let the bag cool before you open it.
“Popcorn lung” is an irreversible scarring of the smallest airways in the lungs…
cspinet.org/tip/do-you-ris…
3) It’s caused by inhaling vapors of a buttery-tasting chemical that some manufacturers used to add to microwave 🍿. Diacetyl is a natural compound found in cheese, butter, yogurt, & wine. It’s not harmful when swallowed, but it can damage the lungs if large amounts are inhaled.
