In France, people are protesting the announcement of a vaccine passport by the Macron government.
The pass would restrict access to restaurants, shopping malls, hospitals, trains, and planes.
Vaccines will also be made mandatory for healthcare workers. teapaw.org/laurentbigfr/status/14…

The FDA warned that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine could raise the risk for a rare neurological disorder trib.al/lFG7YPv

Anyone attempting to equate this 'emergency authorisation' to common, long running vaccinations for children (for diseases that can actually kill them) is either being stupid or dishonest.
This is inexcusable.
Stop using children as human shields and guinea pigs.

Gavin Newsom’s new school mask mandate is as ignorant as it is cruel. I’ll reverse this outrage on day one.

This myocarditis risk for young men is worrisome, and I don’t know why it isn’t all over the news.
"CDC’s declaration that the rates of myocarditis following vaccination are no higher than baseline projects an unfounded certitude."
I dig into the details of FDA vax approval and CDC adverse event tracking, in my latest for @NYMag

California should never be last in anything, let alone just about everything. That's the case for the Recall.

TREND WATCH:
Teachers openly critiquing their unions and joining advocacy for #openschools.
In Fairfax County:
@Ts4OpenSchools @teachcardona
FCPS teachers break from their union & come out for opening schools, citing the harm to students from further delays & the extensive mitigation measures FCPS has put in place. @Ts4OpenSchools fox5dc.com/video/894412

Reporters hand-wringing about whether NYC could be doing more to improve remote seem to be missing a few things.
1. Piles of evidence that all-remote systems are failing. Even when ALL THE RESOURCES are there, outcomes are troubling. Which is why parents lobby for #openschools.

Couple of interesting things in this @TheAtlantic teacher profile: 1. #History teacher at MS public school for gifted & talented students says only 5 students in each incoming 10th grade class of 18 arrive with "some basic knowledge of the Civil War." 1/2

“It is increasingly clear that schools are not a source of transmission,” says the Massachusetts Education Secretary, telling even high-risk communities to keep schools open. Meanwhile his counterpart in California is as gung-ho as ever about keeping them closed.

On this 237th day of the State of Emergency, we did not get a ruling from the Court but we did get a 58th Executive Order from the Governor.

My opponent has received $2.8M for this race largely from out of district special interests. She refuses to debate and seems to be taking voters for granted. #CADeservesBetter

No word from the Court. People from all walks of life and political persuasions have been asking me about it today. This can be a unifying moment where our state renews its commitment to foundational principles we all share.

Predictable fireworks ensued.

“It’s now October. We are starting to get an evidence-based picture of how school reopenings and remote learning are going... the evidence is pointing in one direction. Schools do not, in fact, appear to be a major spreader of COVID-19.”

Tens of millions of you have shared the struggle of black people in Baltimore. You cared about our black lives more than our own leaders.
They have done nothing for us.
Now they can’t hide.
We are the change.
