Year 6 of the #COVID19 pandemic is about to start.
Infections aren't as deadly as they were, but the harm from accumulating reinfections is a story that will slowly be understood in the years to come.
With few taking any precautions, even during surges, and less than 25% of Americans taking advantage of COVID vaccines the last two years, we're inviting more reinfections, more viral evolution, more Long COVID, and more accumulating damage to health.
Take some care in 2025, friends.

Simply to be pedantic and very clear...
Vaccines do not prevent infection nor reinfection...
Masking does.
But vaccines *do* prevent serious illness, more viral evolution, more Long COVID, and more accumulating damage to health.
@lupus_blackfur Vaccines DO prevent infections--just not fully or permanently. Masking is powerful, but in a world where 90% of people NEVER wear one and will not wear one, we need to be encouraging more vaccination, not discouraging people by sharing incorrect information about their effectiveness.
