If anyone’s wondering if the flu shot is worth it this season, my anecdotal evidence / study of n=1 says that it is.
Flu cases are still rising, and it’s not too late to get a vaccination if you missed out in the pre-season (yes, avoiding contagious illnesses is a contact sport). Someone in my household tested positive for influenza A 2 weeks ago, and I still didn’t catch it because I was immunised in April.
Get vaccinated if you can!

So, morgen fahre ich den #DEC / #digital / #VAX Kram abholen. 
Weiß noch nicht, wo es am Ende finanziell liegen wird, hab aber nur begrenztes Budget und kann evtl. nicht das komplette Konvolut nehmen. Werde aber versuchen, so viel wie möglich zum Weiterverteilen mitzunehmen. Mehr dann vermutlich morgen gegen Nachmittag.
@tiamat271 @Trenton_Hoshiko Welp. I was there. Not that terminal and wearing the #Flo mask and recently confirmed measles #vax in effect. But still.
Love my new desk accessory #vax #retrocomputing
Ich habe gerade ein paar #retro bzw. #vintage Computer abzugeben.
Folgenden Maschinen suchen ein neues Zuhause:
* #Sun #sparc station IPC
* Sun Ultra 5 (64 bit sparc)
* HP 712/60 (gecko #PARISC)
* #MicroVAX II (BA123)
Die Geräte müssten in Bochum abgeholt werden.
Von der #VAX habe ich gerade noch keine Bilder, da die noch im Keller sitzt.
Mir genügt es, wenn die Maschinen ein liebevolles Zuhause finden, und nicht dem Elektroschrott anheim fallen müssen.
Boosts welcome
If you kill your kid by not allowing them to be #vaccinated you can get a full time grifter job in the #antivax movement but if a #school #shooter kills your kid you'll get smeared by the same people that make anti #vax child killers their heroes. the commonality is they all love it when kids die.
@NanoRaptor Heck, the VAXstation was a very cute, little, and *real* #VAX
After the #FDA canx'd its advisory board meeting on next season's #flu #vax recommendations, the agency made it's own decision and notified manufacturers without outside input. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-fda-makes-recommendations-influenza-vaccines-manufacturers-2025-03-13/
It is a rare day. Rosenkrantz has been resetting to firmware so we bought another VAX 4000-60 to try sort it out and this one is the cleanest we've ever seen.
Folks, if you or you kids can get ANY vaccines or boosters that they will need, get them NOW. I think they will first target HPV, so definitely make sure your kids get that. They can give the first dose at 9. And you are eligible until you are 45. Also, if you are Gen X and might only have had one dose of measles vaccine (was the standard for a while) or if you might have missed the MMR at any point, GO GET ONE TODAY. You CAN ask your doctor to titer you, which is fine, but if you don't have time or medical insurance, you can also just go get the vaccine.
This is kinda fun for ex-DEC / Digital UK alumni or users - They are making a movie too!

I found it trying to find old DECUS programmes for the UK/Ireland when we did the annual conferences at Warwick Uni.
Homeopathic science: The fewer scientists that holds an opinion, the more correct that opinion is.
All scientists says global warming is real and human made? You can not trust in science!
One scientist says the ice isn't melting? Science is great!
All scientists says vaccines we have given to millions of people over decades are safe and efficient? Science is all just a huge lie!
One scientist says the vaccine is terrible? Listen to the scientist!!
One thing puzzled me slightly over the last couple of days. Watching the auth logs I see login attempts with the following user IDs:

which to this #oldfart #greybeard sounds very #DEC #VAX-like.
Anyone else seeing this? Or is somebody out there actually running an Internet-accessible VAX somewhere?
Just to add, I'm very pro Vax, this poem was just written from perspectives other than my own.
first Covid vax in 13 months, with flu vax. (People under 60 were prohibited from receiving the vax in January-February: we are restricted to one vax annually.) Shoutout to Corning Pharmacy on E Georgia, Vancouver, where the kind pharmacist has incredibly gentle injection technique and everyone is masked. #covid #vax #vancouver
