Opinion | I Grew Up Unvaccinated. Now I’m an Immunologist.

Great essay from @sciencewhizliz.bsky.social.

Liz’s story resonates with me. I also grew up unvaccinated.

I know my mom made the choice not to vaccinate me and my sisters out of love, misguided as it was.

I got myself vaccinated when I turned 18.

The CDC has just issued a Travel Health Notice specifically related to polio popping up in about 30 countries.

They recommend making sure you’re up to date on your vaccinations, and if you are traveling to one of the countries in red, you should consider a booster.

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

And even when people are more mildly disabled, they often don’t want to disclose that they have a stigmatized illness. Don’t expect people to just tell you these things.

SecDef Hegseth Announces Trans Scouts In Scouting America Will Be Outed, Segregated The policy is the latest in a trend of organizations capitulating to Trump over transgender people.

1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that under a new deal with Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, trans scouts will be forcibly outed and segregated from peers of their gender.

The policy is the latest cruel capitulation.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

No child should be kicked off their team and deemed an outcast by their government just because of who they are. Like Kara Young said β€” freedom isn’t just possible, it’s necessary.
