Moderna knocked me and my wife out for about a day starting about 12 hours after the stab. I had chills, a mild fever, minor nausea, and just general exhaustion. Yet by around 36 hours afterwards I felt fine.

Good! Hopefully more cities and states follow suit.

This article says

“Biden is also expected to ask the U.S. Department of Labor to issue a rule that employers with more than 100 employees must require vaccines or testing, according to NBC News.”

Does that mean exactly what it sounds like? Any business with over 100 employees has to require vaccines/regular testing now?  So…not just federal employees?


And I wonder if this would apply to local county governments…

An OSHA regulation would take precedent.

A combined coronavirus/flux vaccine would make things much easier and much more accessible for the public at large.

It's also planned to include a RSV booster.

Hopefully this comes to Cook County and other blue areas.
