Polio Risk Returns to London and Lower New York — Precision Vaccinations

‘It is vital parents ensure their children are fully vaccinated for their age.’

‘Following the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation’s advice, all children aged 1 to 9 years in London need to have a polio vaccine now – whether an extra booster dose or just to catch up with their routine vaccinations.’

‘This may also help stop the poliovirus from spreading further.’

And in Rockland and Orange Counties of New York, free polio vaccination clinics are available to all residents as of August 11, 2022.

In the USA, the U.S. FDA has approved various combination vaccines that offer polio protection.

The individual IPOL vaccine is indicated for active immunization of infants (as young as six weeks), children, and adults to prevent poliomyelitis caused by poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3.

These polio vaccines are generally available at health clinics and local pharmacies in the USA.

A few days ago, my husband came down with Covid. That’s the reason my intro here is short and why I haven’t worked much on my novels. We don’t know how he got it — we’ve got all our shots and he’s been masking. We both had it January 2021, right before the vaccines came out. So far, that time was far…

Writing Process: Shifting Gears is Hard, but Notes Help

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Transitioning from Project Do Better, now that it’s finished, back to my novel work in progress, Who By Fire, is much more difficult than I anticipated. I’ve been trying to work on both of these books at the same time, with the result that the novel has been vastly neglected. Now that I’m winding down the work on the Do Better manifesto, even as I still search for someone to pass the baton for the Project, I find myself thinking there must be something that I’ve missed or some other thing that I need to do for Project Do Better.  I find that the notes I’ve taken on the writing process, as I continue to work on my craft, help a bit.   Concentrating on the novel still feels like a world away, though.
As our world gets warmer and warmer, in bad ways.

Number of teens using Facebook crashes as YouTube becomes platform of choice | TechSpot

The bad news for Facebook came from a survey by Pew Research Center. It questioned 1,316 U.S. teens between the ages of 13 and 17 about their online habits and found that just 32% of them use the Facebook app.

The results are a stark contrast to Pew Research Center’s survey in 2015, which found a massive 71% of teens used Facebook at that time. But the social network has seen this demographic decline yearly since then. Despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg calling for the platform to refocus its efforts toward serving younger users last year, more teens have abandoned it in droves.

Republicans in Congress argued that none of these bills are necessary because the right to birth control and the right to same-sex marriage are safe. “In no way, shape or form is access to contraception limited or at risk of being limited,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said during Thursday’s debate on the birth control bill. “The liberal majority is clearly trying to stoke fears and mislead the American people once again because in their minds stoking fear clearly is the only way that they can win.” (Yahoo News)

“The FBI has gone rogue and is doing the dirty work of a communist regime,” tweeted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
