PSA: There is clinical data suggesting that the #Novavax #COVID vaccine, which uses a protein platform rather than mRNA, is more protective against recent strains of COVID than any of the mRNA vaccines, perhaps by quite a lot.
Therefore, if it has been more than four months since your last mRNA booster, you might want to consider getting a Novavax booster. I'm planning on it when I'm due for my next booster.

George Santos⁩ keeps giving contradictory explanations for his mystery millions, which he used to finance his House campaign. Read my newest article for his latest story, which doesn’t add up. And please share this one.

On January 13, I'm breaking my five-year sabbatical from talks and speaking at @NewYork_CM—the world's largest face-to-face creative community, entirely volunteer-run—on the month's theme: Sanctuary. Live music by the great @JOANPOLICEWOMAN. Free with RSVP https://www.themarginalian.org/live/

George Santos lied about everything, but he only confessed to a few. The rest is out there, along with the truth. The deeper reporters have dug, the more bizarre things get. Here’s where things stand and what we can expect in the coming weeks and months. My piece is out, don’t forget to subscribe to become a regular weekday recipient of my newsletter!

I will add that masking/distancing/vaccination is all good, but what we REALLY need is forced PM2.5 air filtration in all public spaces. Schools, hospitals, universities, shops, restaurants, cinemas: on trains, buses, planes, and passenger ships. And ESPECIALLY schools and hospitals. These premises have always been viral disease amplifiers, but filtration stops it spreading at source.

Every year at Christmas now I think about Christmas 8 years ago when I nearly died with my wife, child and in-laws.

I share this every year over on the Bird Site and will share it here now.

It was Christmas Eve. 9 year old was just 1. We were staying at my in-laws who had an acreage just outside Red Deer at the time. We went to bed a bit late but the night was good. 1 year old wasn’t up too much.
