And as much as Israel would like to avoid Palestinian issues, the populations live side-by-side, and many Palestinians are part of Israel's workforce. #COVID19 #vaccination rates among them are near-zero.

Israel/6
There're big #COVID19 lessons, far beyond Israeli borders. Any dreams of "herd immunity" must tackle isolation, religious objections, animosities betwn populations, ethnic issues and #vaccine hesitancy — or the dreams will become nightmares.

UK vaccine advisory panel urges an age-only approach as the UK plans for vaccinating Phase 2 — people under age 50. JCVI suggests calling people forward by decade (40s, then 30s, then 18-29). Targeting occupations too complex, they say. #Covid19 https://t.co/75KKlOJCm3

Know what’s awesome about the Pfizer and Moderna #COVID19 vaccines? They demonstrated complete protection against Covid-related hospitalization & death.

Since I’m seeing some (fearful) discussion about this: The study was done concerning health care workers’ uniforms, not ‘everyday’ masks. If you’re working with infected individuals, you should wear cotton/polyester or cotton materials — *not* polyester — and wash them with detergent in hot water (if your company won’t wash them for you).

I read Wolf’s first book, The Beauty Myth, back when it came out in 1991. As I remember, it was organized around the author’s core philosophy: LOOKIT MEEEEEE!!! NO, ONLY MEEE! Nothing she has done since then has changed my opinion; it’s just harder for her to draw attention now, in our panoramic social-media age.
Did not realize time travel abilities were included with the COVID vaccine. Cool! Definitely some shit I'd like to clean up for past me. https://t.co/xz0Xyv3wn7
