Since one of my hobbies is not dying of preventable diseases, I often post about vaccines. My handle is completely unrelated to this! Think VAX as in DEC, not vaccines. It's a misspelled ill-advised ancient Usenet joke, and now I'm stuck with this handle for as long as the Internet lives.

I had my first encounter with biometric exit on an international flight tonight. Because I am on team “how do you know you have rights if you don’t exercise them?” I requested an opt out. And the gate agent told me no one had done that before! They had to call a supervisor to find out what to do. BTW once they figured out the manual procedure it was fast. The agent then put me back at the head of the boarding line and ultimately the opt out wasn’t a big deal. #GiftLink https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/travel/airports-biometric-exit-program.html?unlocked_article_code=1.11A.0sK1.NLiIv5pkr36y&smid=nytcore-ios-share

A programming note: I will be mostly or entirely offline until mid-August. I expect that the next time I'll post these wastewater reports will be August 19th. Of course, you can always check the Washington State Department of Health's website yourself: https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater See you all in a few weeks. Stay safe and have fun!

The last of the three King County sites is King County South (KCS) treatment plant, and its Sars-CoV-2 7DRA numbers went down a fair chunk. The last averaging calculation is from 7/21.

Hello, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government. The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels went down a bit and then went up a bit. The last data are from 7/21. WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth@universeodon.com

I'm happy to report that the #washingtonstate #covid #covid19 #wastewater site is being updated again, yay. It's been down due to a supplier issue since early June. Let's start with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. The 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels is up above the nice low baseline level we were enjoying this spring. The last data is from 7/14. WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset.

This is an interesting KUOW story about Washington State prepping for Trump attacks on elections. I didn’t know that King County has an online delivery mechanism for ballots, for example. I hope Clark County is making similar preparations, since I imagine that’s going to be the epicenter of attacks on voting in the state. https://www.kuow.org/2026-07-20/will-trumps-election-moves-affect-was-primary

Recent discovery: the King County library runs makerspaces! I needed some stuff 3d printed, and these awesome librarians had a fleet of prusa printers ready for me to use. They supply the filament. You don’t even need a KC library card! https://kcls.org/makerspaces/ I 💕libraries, they are so badass.

Hi #washingtonstate voters, it's primary voting time. You have until August 4th to get your ballots back in. I filled out my ballot tonight, with particular attention to all the State Supreme Court races. I can't overstate how important these specific races are as we gear up for more court fights. If you want more background beyond the candidate statements, Fuse Washington has an excellent Progressive Voter's Guide here: https://www.progressivevotersguide.com/washington PS: Did you know you can get status alerts about your ballot's return and processing? King County's signup page is at kce.wiki/TrackMyBallot. I think many other counties have similar ballot tracking services.

This guy is in the US legally and with a valid work authorization. He is a lawyer for the state of Alaska and is now imprisoned in an ICE detention facility in Washington State. ICE won’t say why they they claim he is now deportable, but from this reporting it appears that a speeding ticket is the precipitating event. Yes, you read that right: a speeding ticket. https://alaskabeacon.com/briefs/ice-arrests-and-detains-alaska-state-attorney/

US peeps: tomorrow, Monday, is the deadline for commenting on the OMB rule change that would give the Trump administration political review over allocated federal grant awards for any reason whatsoever. Here’s a primer on it: https://www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-advocacy/beyond-science-how-ombs-proposed-rule-on-federal-financial-assistance-threatens-essential-services-nationwide If submitting a comment to the federal register feels pointless, know that it is very much not. A big public response is a powerful weapon in the inevitable follow up litigation. It really is helpful! One thing: you can’t just copy pasta someone else’s text as your comment — repeat comments don’t count. But someone has built an application to help you share your thoughts in your words on the proposed rule here: https://ombcomment.netlify.app/

We also paid our respects to the Red Creek fir, billed as the world’s largest Douglas fir. It’s just shy of 74 meters tall. It’s waaaay back off some logging roads outside Port Renfrew. Locals tell you to make sure you have a full tank and other supplies before you set out, and I say that’s good advice.

Though the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater sampling has apparently resumed this week, there's a note up on the dashboard saying that the reporting won't start until July 22nd. That's about six weeks of no wastewater data on respiratory pathogens for the entire state, welp. I'm very disappointed.

Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government. So, ugh, this is not good: all of the Washington State wastewater data are not being updated. The note isn't making any promises about when the reporting will resume. Since Seattle has about eighteen kajillion people coming here for the World Cup, it would be really great to have wastewater reporting up and running. 😬 You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth@universeodon.com

Jeremy Faust got a copy of the censored paper and published it: https://insidemedicine.substack.com/p/exclusive-heres-the-covid-19-vaccine Faust’s source says that they think RFKJr doesn’t want to publish the study because he wants to weaken CDC recommendations for the vaccines this year, including for high risk populations like older adults. The study shows that last season’s vaccine was 50% effective against ER visits and hospitalization for immunocompetent adults. #COVID #COVID19

Hello, these are (usually) the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. But it appears none of the three King County wastewater sample sites were updated this week on the dashboard. :(

You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them.

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange the story says that she was out of status until she got a withholding of removal proceedings from a judge decades ago. My uninformed guess is that the Trump admin position is that the order does not preclude removal to a third party country. So combine that with incentives to get their deportation statistics up plus confidence that most people won’t get competent judicial review, and you get the current clusterfuck.

Going through the Artemis images again now that I have some time and just … wow.

Much of this week was nonstop exposure to the depraved, corrupt, incompetent, and nihilistic current US political culture. Every time I picked up my phone I dreaded what was coming next.

The success of the Artemis mission reminded me of the cool things human beings can do when they work together to go exploring and do science and move forward. Thanks, Artemis crew.

The CDC was about to publish a report that the 2025-2026 #COVID #COVID19 vaccine cut the number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations for healthy people in half last winter, but acting CDC director[*] Bhattacharya has blocked its release. Excellent reporting from Lena Sun.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/04/09/covid-vaccine-report-delayed/

The WaPo app isn’t offering me a share #GiftLink button, so this is apparently outside the paywall?

[*] Fun fact, federal regulations for temporary appointments mean acting CDC director Bhattacharya lost his position last month, but he seems to be … just … not … leaving … anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️
