Flu season is looking super bad this year, with cases already spiking 
. According to the CDC, the flu vaccine effectiveness for this season has been reported at around 25% 
. That's really low 
! The number of people getting vaccinated has also decreased from last year 
.Let me show you some stats on COVID-19 vaccination rates by state
: Alabama: 72%, Arizona: 83%, California: 80%, Florida: 71%, Georgia: 82%... and the rest.
Boosters for Covid-19 vaccines have been dwindling, which doesn't help much
. I just checked and the US is currently offering 2 boosters: a spring shot and an autumn booster 
. Meanwhile, other countries are still offering multiple booster doses 
.If you're young and healthy, maybe think twice about mask-wearing or social distancing
... but if you have health conditions or are around vulnerable people, be super careful! 
Local healthcare is where it's at right now
. Check with your local health department or state government website for up-to-date info on disease outbreaks in your area .What do you think? I'm all about individual agency and community action to fight these illnesses
...
! Like, what's going on with our government? Can't they just take care of us for once?! 
The flu season is looking super dire and now we're stuck with no clear plan from the top down... it's chaos, man. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new role has made things even worse, spreading doubt about vaccines 
and limiting access to boosters - that's just, like, terrifying 
.
. And don't even get me started on communication - it's like we're all just stuck in this weird limbo where no one knows what to do 
.
. Our primary care docs are still the best bet for trustworthy info... and if you're feeling overwhelmed, check out your state government website 
.
Assess your risk, get with the squad, find local hotspots for info, and build a community that cares... let's do this!
