Babies, people with certain disabilities & some health conditions need others to mask to protect them.
This hospital shouldn’t be “scrambling”. Make masks mandatory & protect patients and staff.
Clean & ventilate the air too!

On paper, Salvador Cavazos earns less than $300,000 to run Valere Public Schools, a small Texas charter network. But taxpayers likely aren’t aware that in reality, his total pay makes him one of the country’s highest-earning superintendents.

This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years.
Just a few days ago he was minimizing the outbreak by saying it was “normal” and recommending vitamin A.
What changed? Not going to lie… my initial thought was “it must be really bad if RFK Jr is pushing the vaccine”
Please folks, get your boosters. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Protect your health & the health of those around you.
