Good books immerse you in a new world. Great books introduce you to a new worldview.
Good books are page-turners—they're meant to be devoured. Great books are corner-folders—they're made to be savored.
Good books keep you engaged. Great books leave you changed.

ICYMI RFK Jr would like fewer annoying public comments on HHS policy changes.
That means when he changes rules about vaccine authorization, how NIH grants are issued, or how CDC collects surveillance data, he doesn’t want experts or the public to object

I encourage everyone to watch @MattMcGorry’s latest Long Covid video. He nails so many salient points - including this:
The pandemic was traumatizing for everyone. Of course we want to believe it’s over. But it’s not - and avoiding dealing with that reality? It’s costing lives.

Universal masking and social distancing at the start of the pandemic were so effective that they eliminated a strain of flu, and now annual flu vaccines have been redesigned because that strain no longer needs to be included in the shot. Amazing.

Suffering from Long Covid has been devastating for millions and killed thousands. Multiply this heart-wrenching story and the vast damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 becomes evident. It’s not a mere “cold”, but far worse for far too many.

HEALTH UPDATE:
It has officially been one year since I contracted Covid-19 while on set for my movie that I’ve been working on.
