Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Dozens of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

They’re so ignorant in the WH, they don’t realize how dangerous this is. Why would you not want to track disease and mortality rates for various causes?
The stupidity of those making these decisions is beyond comprehension. Never in US history have such terrible decisions been made.

Covid vaccine access update here in Florida...
I was able to obtain the updated Covid vaccine here in Florida this week. I was worried about access, but I was able to get the Pfizer vaccine that I wanted this week. The local CVS and Walgreens did not have Pfizer vaccines, but fortunately the pharmacy of a local Publix supermarket offered it.
I'm over 65, so I don't know whether someone younger would be able to get a vaccine without a prescription. I think the state pharmacy board says pharmacists can administer the vaccine without a prescription. I will try and find out how younger people are affected by the new policies.
At first, no pharmacy would offer a Covid vaccine at all. Then CVS stepped into the void gingerly by offering the Moderna mNEXSPIKE to people over 65. Now it appears that more pharmacies are offering Covid vaccines.

Trump gets Covid vaccine and flu shot during second checkup of the year
The visit, which the White House described Wednesday as a "yearly check-up," was his second examination at Walter Reed in six months.

Covid shots have become harder to get under the Trump administration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its Covid vaccine guidance on Monday, limiting its recommendation for the shots only to people 65 or older or those with an underlying health condition — and only after they consult doctors, nurses or pharmacists. That change comes after many states had set their own guidance on vaccines, resulting in a complex landscape with a patchwork of different vaccine policies, making it harder to find the shot depending on where a person lives...
Glad to hear it. With international travel and being over 65, getting the shots is a good idea. The timing seems right with the usual fall spread of flu and covid....Barbabella said Trump, 79, received the flu shot and a Covid vaccine booster “in preparation for upcoming international travel.” Trump is scheduled to leave for the Middle East on Sunday after helping secure a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas this week.Trump gets Covid vaccine and flu shot during second checkup of the year
