   US folks, the CDC is still taking comments before their meeting to review and approve the newest COVID booster. The form is only open another day or so. They’ve been talking about limiting who can get it. You can leave a comment here: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/CDC-2023-0060-0001

   Even a simple, short comment could be good. I don’t know if it’ll make a difference but I do know that all the friends who’ve gotten sick lately are fully vaccinated and boosted — so we all need the updated booster.

     @platypus have you ever heard what happened to people that aren't vaccinated? cc @Zerglingman

     It doesn't even make any sense. I hope you reread that sentence again.

     @MK2boogaloo it means that it becomes less effective as new variants developed and being vaccinated and boosted a year ago has much less impact now, so since the new booster is formulated to newer variants, it should help prevent more illness.

     Glad I could clear that up for you! 🫡

     Because I’m cynical about the government, I talked about how the newest wave is effecting us at work, caused meeting to be canceled and deadlines missed, etc.

     If you’re a public facing librarian you might talk about how these waves of illness make it harder to keep libraries open … again, cynical but they don’t actually care about us so 🤷🏻♀️

     Also, seriously, three sentences or something to the effect that COVID keeps evolving so we all need updated protection is better than nothing and what I’ve seen there weren’t TOO many comments… like a few hundred of us could make a dent in %s.

     @Zerglingman @platypus imagine if we need to vaccine our dog every year or else they would die to disease.
