queerly_belovedIt's that time of the week again: Thursday Recs!
In honor of me getting the Covid booster/flu shot double-jab today, this week I'm recommending vaccines.
Communicable disease has had a huge impact on the Queer Community, not least because of HIV and AIDS. Medical science has come a long way since that disease first emerged on the scene, and we now have some amazing treatments, including PEP, PrEP, and even news of actual cured individuals. There's even a very promising vaccine in the works! Which brings us back to my rec.
Vaccines are incredibly important medical science. They teach your body how to recognize and fight off diseases before you actually get the disease. Some of them can even do it when you get the disease! Perhaps more importantly, though, they can help you protect other people. If you can't catch a communicable illness, it won't be able to jump from you to someone who is more vulnerable to it. That's why, if you can get vaccinated, please do so at your earliest convenience. (Special note for the northern hemispherites, flu season is supposed to be absolutely brutal this year.)
To find out more about vaccines and how to talk to people about them, visit Immunize.org.
Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!
Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!
