Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines.
Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

This is our @CDCgov
X No warning on BA.5
X Still says 2 vaccine doses ="fully vaccinated"
X Says 5 days is all that's needed for isolation when 5 days is the median length of infectiousness
X 1 in 4 age 50+ w/ 2nd booster (<-survival benefit)
X Transmission is the accurate map👇

You think you’re safe. You’re not. The right is coming for trans kids, trans adults, LGBTQ people, anyone who gets pregnant, anyone of color, anyone on a visa, anyone immunocompromised. The only people who are safe are healthy rich white cis het men. Sharpen your pitchforks.

The gift card scam is coming around again. If anyone asks you to go buy gift cards, do NOT do it. Scammers are currently targeting university students, sending messages that look like they are from their professors.
