You are one of the clearest and most courageous voices speaking today. You call out lies, speak evidence-based science to power, and refuse to indulge the cowards who stay silent or enable this authoritarian Kabuki Theater. Your return to this platform is timely, urgent, and deeply welcome. Keep going. Many of us stand with you.

I just had my fifth Covid shot today. (I think it was the fourth round I missed because I was about to have a colonoscopy and my gastroenterologist wanted me to wait.) … I am 71 and my general health is good. I have 89- and 88-year-old parents who took earlier shots but seem to be influenced by church members who literally “pray for President Trump to lead this nation back to Christ” and haven’t had the last few vaccine updates. … Moments ago, a woman I’ve grown fond of told me she doesn’t “believe they are safe.” I’m quite alarmed. … Your advice?

I’m 65 and my wife 55. We’ve taken the Moderna multiple times and one Novovax. We’ve never had bad reactions (other than the usual like any flu vaccine) to either. From what I’ve read mRNA vaccines are the most studied vaccines in history and the safety and efficacy of Covid vaccines are well documented. America’s health system has been taken over by a cult of Medieval troglodyte science-illiterates selling worthless supplements and profiting off people’s fear. Angela’s writings and those of people like Peter Hotez are a freakin’ shining light piercing through all the smooth brained excrement out there. Don’t listen to anti-vaxxers: they’re a suicide cult.

"It only took five years but nothing gets me going like an existential threat"

I too am greatly concerned regarding existential threats. Like you, this concern has also kept me fuelled over the past five years, largely without interruption.

I suspect we may differ in opinion regarding what that existential threat is. To you, the threat is "disinformation," and the threatened party are virologists like yourself.

To me, the threat are virologists like yourself, and the threatened party is the human species in its entirety.

Hi, I'm Bio-warfare Tom! @BlackTomThePyr8 on Twitter. :-)
