You mean they asked a woman and not a man? Color me shocked!

Good news! Got it at the only minute clinic within 100 miles but I also got the last one in stock. They also specifically asked me what my high risk reason was. They never asked that in NYC and I’ve been asked 2x in NC. Do they have a database?

I still can’t get it in NC 🫠🫠🫠

I literally had to book an appointment in California while traveling to get it since NC pharmacies won’t have it and my PCP was like “we don’t know”

The horrors persist.

Ffffffffff
Called my pcp to see if I could get it there. They had no idea.
THEY HAD NO IDEA.
We are in so much trouble.

It's nice to see that in the face of bullshit (the DeSantis Goon Squad painting over the rainbow crosswalk memorial for the pulse shooting), the people of Orlando went out there and colored it back in rainbow with chalk. Very nice. I hope someone does it with paint next. Even spray paint in a pinch.

You may already have some protection from bird flu, but don't count on it Studies suggest that people who had seasonal flus or vaccinations have low antibody levels against H5N1 bird flu.

“Nine months post-infection, antibody levels had dipped even lower," says virologist, @JohnsHopkinsSPH Professor & @JohnsHopkinsMMI vice-chair @andrewpekosz.

“The infection data probably is telling us that any boost in antibodies is going to be short lived.”
