Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs $2.85 to make.

"For classrooms equipped with mechanical ventilation systems, the relative risk of infection of students decreased at least by 74% compared with a classroom with only natural ventilation." We can protect children, teachers and parents from a great deal of needless #COVID19 suffering, if only we cared enough to make the modest investment.

“If peace means a willingness to be exploited economically, dominated politically, humiliated and segregated, I don’t want peace. If peace means being complacently adjusted to a deadening status quo, I don’t want peace. …. Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

Thanks for sharing @ZingerLearns !

I co-authored a book about inclusion programming, which is coming out in February. Me and my co-author are in the field but not especially tied into academia and teacher prep programs, so I'm trying to learn what is out there.
