Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection. But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk. They are still worth getting. Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

80 toxic drug OVERDOSES occurred within 24 hours with one shelter running out of naloxone. This is why harm reduction services are vital in saving lives, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. x.com/CHEK_News/st...
