Finally, Professor Thomas Warfield, a long-time Rochester performing artist:

"The impact of not having the knowledge that newspapers contain is getting lost - and it's especially painful in the arts.

My students say, we can find the facts on Google. But facts aren't knowledge."

ICYMI: Novavax (a non mRNA Covid-19 vaccine) has received the 👍🏽 from FDA.

IF you are someone who has been wanting added protection from COVID (and everyone should) and IF you had concerns about mRNA, this is a great opportunity.

Make some time to talk to your doctor ASAP!👇🏽

The CDC is issuing new guidance around Doxy-PEP, a medication used to prevent chlamydia, gonorrhea & syphilis after potential exposure. With increased STIs rates, this prevention effort is welcomed to keep our communities healthy. https://t.co/Bqw4IOpyvN

Are we at the beginning of "a RNAissance?" @urochester prof Dragony Fu sees a vast future for mRNA as a vaccine *and* a potential treatment for

and more... https://t.co/c5ohF2xZ8s

Rabbit, Rabbit!

(Today we learned this is a "well known" New England tradition; repeating "rabbit" the first day of the month brings good luck. We're game; we like good luck as much as anyone!)

[ROC Victory Alliance @RocVictAlliance]

We look forward to seeing you at the med center -- congratulations!

You'll have your choice of vaccines made by Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax. All will be based on XBB variants that emerged from Omicron.

Fasciniating, deep interview with @DrMikeMendoza on lessons learned from the pandemic.

[ROC Victory Alliance @RocVictAlliance]

If you heard yesterday's @WXXINews story about the WNY Ballroom scene, you know what a close knit crew it is. In that spirit, we're pleased to share their event Wed evening in memory of Stephaun Wallace, a leader in the worlds of both HIV prevention and ballroom.

Men in monogamous sexual relationships with other men will now be subject to the same screening criteria as everyone else. ✔

[ROC Victory Alliance @RocVictAlliance]

During his time with @mochacenterroc and beyond, Stephaun was more than a partner to us — he was a genuine friend. His leadership in the ballroom community and in world of HIV education and prevention will be profoundly missed.

[HVTN @HelpEndHIV]

Stephaun had an extraordinary presence and while those memories of his advocacy and his voice will always be with us, his absence will be felt by all who knew him. https://t.co/XtiAzuuLL3
