Je viens de faire mes rappels vaccin Covid et Grippe ! ✨
ℹ️ Pensez à le faire aussi pour vous protéger des formes graves
(qui font de sacré dégât à long terme)
et aussi pour protéger les autres en diminuant les risques d’être un relais !
Et autant que possible, pensez au masque FFP2 et à l’aération, ce sont les autres facteurs très efficaces 😃

What's the current research/understanding of COVID risk at outdoor gatherings?
Is there information about how to assess risk based on actual modeling or research?

Helemaal happy want ik ben weer gevaccineerd tegen heftige covid-19 besmetting.
Ik doe dit zowel voor mezelf als bescherming voor mijn ouders en ieder ander.
Doe je mee?

Apparently availability is varying a bit by state, but CVS Pharmacies in WA appear to be booking vaccination appointments for the '25-'26 COVID-19 shot. Their list of "Conditions that put you at a higher risk" is pretty extensive, and I am personally not waiting for official CDC approval given the current state of that organization.

A guide to the new COVID vaccine recommendations
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced new limits on who is eligible for COVID #vaccines on Wednesday. This is all happening amid internal turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the national public health agency that has seen a wave of high-level departures.
Pharmacists no longer have the power to dispense vaccines. Patients who want the #COVID vaccine will need to consult their doctor first rather than book through the pharmacy.
Otherwise, not much changes for individuals 65 years old and up.
Anyone from 5 to 64 years old is eligible for #Pfizer or #Moderna if they have at least one underlying health condition that puts them at risk; the same goes for #Novavax, but only for those 12 years and up
Parents can seek prescriptions for the Moderna vaccine for children 6 months and up with at least one underlying condition.

From the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP):
"COVID reinfection may raise risk of persistent symptoms by 35%"

So I'm reading https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.08.25333305v1.full-text with interest as it ostensibly found metformin didn't meaningfully decrease Long COVID rates
and
participants didn't receive the metformin until a median five days after symptom onset
they cite other work that found a ~40% reduction in LC with metformin dose:
In the COVID-OUT randomized trial, the HR for participant-reported clinician diagnosis of LC in those randomized to 14 days of metformin was 0.59 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.89)
and I am left wondering if maybe "metformin should be taken as early as possible during acute COVID-19" is what the new study really suggests

Someone (you know who you are) pointed this https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004224018959 out
which hints that maybe metformin's mechanism of action against LC might be to make it harder for C19 to establish viral reservoirs
haven't read the paper in depth but a very interesting notion
if true then we could expect to see meformin
- reducing LC symptom clusters downstream from persistence, but
- reducing less LC from symptoms downstream from immune dysregulation, direct epithelial and BBB damage, and direct organ damage
