His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"title": "California Counties a Hodgepodge of Highs and Lows in Vaccinating Vulnerable Seniors",
"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Even as California prepares to expand vaccine eligibility on April 15 to all residents 16 and older, the state has managed to inoculate only about half its senior population — the 65-and-older target group deemed most vulnerable to death and serious illness in the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, nearly 56% of California seniors have received the full course of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the latest \u003ca href=\"https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations\">data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u003c/a>. That’s about average compared with other states — not nearly as high as places like South Dakota, where almost 74% of seniors are fully vaccinated, but also not as far behind as Hawaii, which has reached 44%. The data, current as of Tuesday, does not include seniors who have received only the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine. [aside tag=\"vaccines\" label=\"more vaccine coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California’s overall progress masks huge variations in senior vaccination rates among the state’s 58 counties, which largely are running their own vaccine rollouts with different eligibility rules and outreach protocols. The discrepancies notably break down by geographic region, with the state’s remote rural counties — generally conservative strongholds — in some cases struggling to give away available doses, while the more populous — and generally left-leaning — metropolitan areas often have far more demand than supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco Bay Area counties like Marin and Contra Costa, for example, more than two-thirds of seniors are fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, in the far northern reaches of the state, encompassing some of California’s most dramatic and rugged terrain, rural counties like Tehama, Shasta and Del Norte have fully vaccinated only about a third of senior residents, according to CDC data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We definitely share one thing in common and that is that we have a fairly high percentage of people who are vaccine hesitant. And that even spreads into the seniors,” Dr. Warren Rehwaldt, health officer for Del Norte County, said of the Northern California counties with relatively low vaccination rates. Del Norte, which is 62% white and voted solidly for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, has vaccinated 36.6% of residents 65 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county, population 28,000, has spotty internet service, leaving the health department reliant on phone appointments for its twice-weekly clinics, which have the capacity to give out 300 doses in a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we have filled any of them completely, and they are tapering off,” Rehwaldt said. Often, 100 or more appointment slots go unused, even after the county expanded eligibility to age 50 and up. “We expected that, but we didn’t expect it this fast,” he said. [pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Dr. Warren Rehwaldt, health officer for Del Norte County']'[It's] a really high hurdle to overcome serious misgivings about the vaccine itself'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every Thursday morning, Rehwaldt joins a local public radio broadcast to encourage people to get their shots, and the department regularly airs public service announcements. “But it’s a really high hurdle to overcome serious misgivings about the vaccine itself,” Rehwaldt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what resources might help bolster vaccination rates, Rehwaldt said he’d opt for a mobile van to travel to remote areas of his county. But moments later, he sighed and said he wasn’t sure a van would help much after all. “What kind of resources are going to overcome hesitancy? It’s not a resource problem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shasta County, whose population is about 80% white and voted in even stronger numbers for Trump, is also struggling to reach the 65-plus group, with just 36.6% of seniors fully vaccinated. Public information officer Kerri Schuette acknowledged health workers were encountering some hesitancy among residents but said their efforts also were hampered by early supply issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other end of the spectrum are counties like Marin, a largely suburban and affluent stretch of communities just north of San Francisco where 71.4% of seniors are fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a thread of privilege that does lead to ease of access to vaccines that needs to be acknowledged,” said county Public Health Officer Dr. Matt Willis. Many seniors in the county have access to computers and cars, he said, and have been able to access vaccine appointments with relative ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the county made an aggressive plan to vaccinate seniors even before the first doses arrived, he said. Rather than waiting for the federal government’s program that relied on pharmacies to vaccinate residents in long-term care facilities, for example, the health department sent in workers as soon as it had vaccines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county also kept its eligibility rules tightly focused on seniors ages 75 and older through the middle of February, while other counties were expanding to younger age groups and a broad array of occupations. At one point, the county briefly expanded eligibility to teachers, but pulled back just one week later when doses grew scarce. [aside tag=\"coronavirus, covid-19\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We showed that a dose offered to someone 75 and older in Marin was 320 times more likely to save a life than a dose offered to someone younger than 50,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County, a more diverse area on the other side of San Francisco Bay, has done nearly as well: 70.9% of seniors are fully vaccinated. Add in those who have received at least one dose, and the numbers are far higher: 90% of people ages 65-74 and 97% of those 75 and older, according to the county’s vaccine tracker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To reach vulnerable seniors, Dr. Ori Tzvieli, Contra Costa’s deputy health officer, said the county worked with nonprofit groups to make lists of residential care facilities and low-income senior housing, then sent mobile clinics to each one. “For people who were literally homebound, we send someone inside. Otherwise, we set up a station in the lobby or right outside,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county also set up mobile clinics at farms and places of worship. It gave community health workers dedicated appointments to sign up older residents directly. And rather than have residents track down their own appointment slots online, the department had people fill out forms and then scheduled appointments for them, prioritizing those who lived in low-income ZIP codes with high rates of disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a population of just over 1 million, Contra Costa County now is able to vaccinate 100,000 people a week, Tzvieli said, and has recently opened eligibility to everyone 16 and older. But even within the county, inequalities remain. In Bay Point, for example, a largely working-class Latino community, vaccination rates are still just half of those of some wealthier communities, Tzvieli said. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther south, in California’s agricultural Central Valley, Fresno County falls somewhere in the middle on vaccination rates. About 54% of seniors 65-plus are fully vaccinated, just under the state average. Just more than half the county’s residents are Latino, many of them farmworkers. And about a fifth of the population lives in poverty, which presents its own hurdles to a vaccination campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Poverty immobilizes, physically and mentally,” said Joe Prado, community health division manager in Fresno County. “For a wealthier population, going 3 to 5 miles away [to a vaccine clinic] is simple; you hop in the car and go. But if you’re living in poverty, that’s a big barrier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are community pockets that have not engaged with the county health system, meaning health officials are coming up against vaccine hesitancy and distrust, Prado added. “Our health literacy is nowhere near where it should be, and now there’s a digital literacy problem, too,” he said. “We’re trying to deal with all this in the middle of a pandemic.” [pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Joe Prado, community health division manager in Fresno County']'Poverty immobilizes, physically and mentally ... For a wealthier population, going 3 to 5 miles away [to a vaccine clinic] is simple; you hop in the car and go. But if you’re living in poverty, that’s a big barrier.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point in the campaign, Prado said, most seniors eager for the vaccine have received at least an initial dose: “The final 25% is going to be the most resource-intensive, the most difficult to reach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious-disease specialist at Vanderbilt University, calls this public health’s “low-hanging fruit phenomenon.” As the proportion of people who are vaccinated grows, he said, “we’ll have to work proportionally harder to keep advancing these numbers, because the eager beavers go first.” In rural counties from California to Tennessee, he added, supply is already outpacing demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, just more than 75% of seniors in the U.S. have received at least one dose of vaccine, according to the CDC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can look at that as the glass is half-empty or half-full,” said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, during a recent episode of his weekly podcast. That still leaves more than 13 million seniors unprotected despite facing the highest risk of death; 8 in 10 deaths from COVID-19 reported in the U.S. have been among adults 65 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is crucial, Osterholm said, that states continue to direct efforts toward reaching and vaccinating vulnerable seniors who are homebound or hesitant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we say we’re going to open up eligibility to everybody 16 or 18 years and older, that seems like a victory,” he said. “In many states, that is an admission of defeat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KHN senior correspondent Anna Maria Barry-Jester contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KHN (Kaiser Health News) is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues.

That’s about average compared with other states — not nearly as high as places like South Dakota, where almost 74% of seniors are fully vaccinated, but also not as far behind as Hawaii, which has reached 44%. The data, current as of Tuesday, does not include seniors who have received only the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The discrepancies notably break down by geographic region, with the state’s remote rural counties — generally conservative strongholds — in some cases struggling to give away available doses, while the more populous — and generally left-leaning — metropolitan areas often have far more demand than supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco Bay Area counties like Marin and Contra Costa, for example, more than two-thirds of seniors are fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, in the far northern reaches of the state, encompassing some of California’s most dramatic and rugged terrain, rural counties like Tehama, Shasta and Del Norte have fully vaccinated only about a third of senior residents, according to CDC data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We definitely share one thing in common and that is that we have a fairly high percentage of people who are vaccine hesitant. And that even spreads into the seniors,” Dr. Warren Rehwaldt, health officer for Del Norte County, said of the Northern California counties with relatively low vaccination rates. Del Norte, which is 62% white and voted solidly for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, has vaccinated 36.6% of residents 65 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county, population 28,000, has spotty internet service, leaving the health department reliant on phone appointments for its twice-weekly clinics, which have the capacity to give out 300 doses in a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we have filled any of them completely, and they are tapering off,” Rehwaldt said. Often, 100 or more appointment slots go unused, even after the county expanded eligibility to age 50 and up. “We expected that, but we didn’t expect it this fast,” he said. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But moments later, he sighed and said he wasn’t sure a van would help much after all. “What kind of resources are going to overcome hesitancy? It’s not a resource problem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shasta County, whose population is about 80% white and voted in even stronger numbers for Trump, is also struggling to reach the 65-plus group, with just 36.6% of seniors fully vaccinated. Public information officer Kerri Schuette acknowledged health workers were encountering some hesitancy among residents but said their efforts also were hampered by early supply issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other end of the spectrum are counties like Marin, a largely suburban and affluent stretch of communities just north of San Francisco where 71.4% of seniors are fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a thread of privilege that does lead to ease of access to vaccines that needs to be acknowledged,” said county Public Health Officer Dr. Matt Willis. Many seniors in the county have access to computers and cars, he said, and have been able to access vaccine appointments with relative ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the county made an aggressive plan to vaccinate seniors even before the first doses arrived, he said. Rather than waiting for the federal government’s program that relied on pharmacies to vaccinate residents in long-term care facilities, for example, the health department sent in workers as soon as it had vaccines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county also kept its eligibility rules tightly focused on seniors ages 75 and older through the middle of February, while other counties were expanding to younger age groups and a broad array of occupations. At one point, the county briefly expanded eligibility to teachers, but pulled back just one week later when doses grew scarce. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Add in those who have received at least one dose, and the numbers are far higher: 90% of people ages 65-74 and 97% of those 75 and older, according to the county’s vaccine tracker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To reach vulnerable seniors, Dr. Ori Tzvieli, Contra Costa’s deputy health officer, said the county worked with nonprofit groups to make lists of residential care facilities and low-income senior housing, then sent mobile clinics to each one. “For people who were literally homebound, we send someone inside. Otherwise, we set up a station in the lobby or right outside,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county also set up mobile clinics at farms and places of worship. It gave community health workers dedicated appointments to sign up older residents directly. And rather than have residents track down their own appointment slots online, the department had people fill out forms and then scheduled appointments for them, prioritizing those who lived in low-income ZIP codes with high rates of disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a population of just over 1 million, Contra Costa County now is able to vaccinate 100,000 people a week, Tzvieli said, and has recently opened eligibility to everyone 16 and older. But even within the county, inequalities remain. In Bay Point, for example, a largely working-class Latino community, vaccination rates are still just half of those of some wealthier communities, Tzvieli said. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

About 54% of seniors 65-plus are fully vaccinated, just under the state average. Just more than half the county’s residents are Latino, many of them farmworkers. And about a fifth of the population lives in poverty, which presents its own hurdles to a vaccination campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Poverty immobilizes, physically and mentally,” said Joe Prado, community health division manager in Fresno County. “For a wealthier population, going 3 to 5 miles away [to a vaccine clinic] is simple; you hop in the car and go. But if you’re living in poverty, that’s a big barrier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are community pockets that have not engaged with the county health system, meaning health officials are coming up against vaccine hesitancy and distrust, Prado added. “Our health literacy is nowhere near where it should be, and now there’s a digital literacy problem, too,” he said. “We’re trying to deal with all this in the middle of a pandemic.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That still leaves more than 13 million seniors unprotected despite facing the highest risk of death; 8 in 10 deaths from COVID-19 reported in the U.S. have been among adults 65 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is crucial, Osterholm said, that states continue to direct efforts toward reaching and vaccinating vulnerable seniors who are homebound or hesitant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we say we’re going to open up eligibility to everybody 16 or 18 years and older, that seems like a victory,” he said. “In many states, that is an admission of defeat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KHN senior correspondent Anna Maria Barry-Jester contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There’s one idea that's gaining traction, especially in the travel industry — vaccine passports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essentially, these are official documents that prove a person has been fully vaccinated, and therefore poses less of a risk to others. And vaccine passports are not just being discussed within the travel industry, but also for many types of businesses where people gather. You might have seen them in the news most recently for the fact that \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2021/04/06/texas-greg-abbott-covid-vaccine-passport/\">Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a ban on vaccine passports\u003c/a> in the state, followed by \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/03/us/florida-covid-vaccine-passport-ban/index.html\">a similar ban from Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what is a vaccine passport? What would it look like, and where might you need it? Would you need a vaccine passport to travel? How might vaccine passports interact with privacy considerations, like HIPAA — the federal law that restricts the release of medical information — and what ethical questions could they raise in how they'll potentially affect marginalized communities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED Forum talked with the following experts about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882719/benefits-and-pitfalls-of-vaccine-passports\">the pros and cons of vaccine passports\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Monica Gandhi\u003c/strong>, infectious disease expert and professor of medicine at UCSF\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>David Studdert\u003c/strong>, professor of medicine and law, Stanford University\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Catharine Hamm\u003c/strong>, former travel editor at the Los Angeles Times\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Alexis Hancock\u003c/strong>, staff technologist, Electronic Frontier Foundation\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"passports\">\u003c/a>What Is a Vaccine Passport?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The term “vaccine passports” is currently used very loosely — and it’s unclear what they would actually look like in the U.S., said David Studdert, professor of medicine and law at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really a form of certification that says the bearer of this thing has completed vaccinations,” Studdert said. He added that passports will likely be in electronic form: “Like a QR code on your phone. But it could be in paper form, too.\"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=\"news_11855623\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is this would be something that you carry \u003cem>with\u003c/em> you, and it would certify your ability to participate in certain kinds of activities. The big question is: which activities? And who is going to be demanding it?\" Studdert asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A critical element of a vaccine passport is that it would need to be standardized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The move towards a passport or some more formal certification would essentially elevate this to the status of a formal document,” Studdert said. “But gathering all that information from all the vaccination sites around the country, from the counties and from the states, and ensuring that the right people are given the right authorization is a gigantic undertaking, and one that I think the government will need to guide very carefully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Do Vaccine Passports Exist Already?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Currently, broad vaccine passports \u003cem>don’t\u003c/em> exist in the U.S. And with just 17.5% of the U.S. population now fully vaccinated, according to the CDC, this talk around vaccine passports might be premature, said Dr. Monica Gandhi, infectious disease expert and professor of medicine at UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people desperate to get the vaccine who have not been able to get the vaccine yet, we're sort of in this transition period in terms of availability,” Gandhi said. “Right now, we're already having a kind of two-tiered system where those who are vaccinated feel more safe and those who aren't, don't.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, early iterations of a vaccine passport \u003cem>are\u003c/em> already being seen around the world. \u003ca href=\"https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/excelsior-pass\">New York just launched the Excelsior Pass\u003c/a>, which proves an individual has been vaccinated or recently tested negative for the virus.

There’s one idea that's gaining traction, especially in the travel industry — vaccine passports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essentially, these are official documents that prove a person has been fully vaccinated, and therefore poses less of a risk to others. And vaccine passports are not just being discussed within the travel industry, but also for many types of businesses where people gather. You might have seen them in the news most recently for the fact that \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2021/04/06/texas-greg-abbott-covid-vaccine-passport/\">Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a ban on vaccine passports\u003c/a> in the state, followed by \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/03/us/florida-covid-vaccine-passport-ban/index.html\">a similar ban from Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what is a vaccine passport? What would it look like, and where might you need it? Would you need a vaccine passport to travel? How might vaccine passports interact with privacy considerations, like HIPAA — the federal law that restricts the release of medical information — and what ethical questions could they raise in how they'll potentially affect marginalized communities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED Forum talked with the following experts about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882719/benefits-and-pitfalls-of-vaccine-passports\">the pros and cons of vaccine passports\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Monica Gandhi\u003c/strong>, infectious disease expert and professor of medicine at UCSF\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>David Studdert\u003c/strong>, professor of medicine and law, Stanford University\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Catharine Hamm\u003c/strong>, former travel editor at the Los Angeles Times\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Alexis Hancock\u003c/strong>, staff technologist, Electronic Frontier Foundation\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"passports\">\u003c/a>What Is a Vaccine Passport?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The term “vaccine passports” is currently used very loosely — and it’s unclear what they would actually look like in the U.S., said David Studdert, professor of medicine and law at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really a form of certification that says the bearer of this thing has completed vaccinations,” Studdert said. He added that passports will likely be in electronic form: “Like a QR code on your phone. But it could be in paper form, too.\"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The big question is: which activities? And who is going to be demanding it?\" Studdert asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A critical element of a vaccine passport is that it would need to be standardized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The move towards a passport or some more formal certification would essentially elevate this to the status of a formal document,” Studdert said. “But gathering all that information from all the vaccination sites around the country, from the counties and from the states, and ensuring that the right people are given the right authorization is a gigantic undertaking, and one that I think the government will need to guide very carefully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Do Vaccine Passports Exist Already?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Currently, broad vaccine passports \u003cem>don’t\u003c/em> exist in the U.S. And with just 17.5% of the U.S. population now fully vaccinated, according to the CDC, this talk around vaccine passports might be premature, said Dr. Monica Gandhi, infectious disease expert and professor of medicine at UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people desperate to get the vaccine who have not been able to get the vaccine yet, we're sort of in this transition period in terms of availability,” Gandhi said. “Right now, we're already having a kind of two-tiered system where those who are vaccinated feel more safe and those who aren't, don't.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, early iterations of a vaccine passport \u003cem>are\u003c/em> already being seen around the world. \u003ca href=\"https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/excelsior-pass\">New York just launched the Excelsior Pass\u003c/a>, which proves an individual has been vaccinated or recently tested negative for the virus. The pass will initially be accepted at Madison Square Garden and will eventually be used at various venues statewide.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some feel relief. Others gratitude. Many are overcome and start crying.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some people say the freedom constricted by the pandemic is beginning to return. And that feeling of liberty is familiar to those who have survived previous epidemics. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a spring afternoon in 1954, 1-year-old Gloria Anderson played with a group of toddlers in Billings, Montana. Two days later her mother learned that one of the other children had contracted polio. Within days, Anderson started feeling sick: first a bit of nausea, then fever. Her mom gasped when she put Anderson in a high chair.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I was kicking one leg,” explained Anderson. “And my mom stuck the pin in my left leg, and I didn’t move it.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They rushed her to the hospital where she quarantined for three weeks. Even her mother couldn’t visit. The left side of her body was paralyzed, and the prognosis was dire — she would never walk again. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Anderson was one of the lucky ones. Her immobility was temporary, and six months later she took her first steps. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In rare cases, you can contract polio twice. So when the vaccine arrived in 1955, Anderson’s mother raced her two daughters to the doctor’s office. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was a sugar cube,” said Anderson. “And we all took it. And my mom was radiant!”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The girls were safe. But the disease scarred Anderson both physically and emotionally for life. The left side of her body never recovered, and she’s had to endure numerous medical procedures over the years. In her 60s, Anderson started falling a lot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because a virus almost killed her and still affects her life, Anderson took the coronavirus seriously from the start. She and her husband religiously sheltered in place, and if they had to leave their home, they wore masks. They desperately missed their grandchildren. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There’s heartache,” said Anderson. “These are hard times. But we do it for one another.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like her mother six decades ago, Anderson was beaming when she received her second vaccine shot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel super relieved,” she said. “I am so thankful to feel safe to see my grandkids!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>AIDS in the ’80s. COVID-19 Today. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leo Herrera also felt a familiar sense of relief when a nurse injected a second dose of the COVID vaccine into his arm. The past 12 months marked the second time the 39-year-old watched a virus rip through his community. The virus has disproportionately hit Latinos and LGBTQ people\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I’m a gay man,” the San Francisco resident said. “I have a lot of viral trauma from the HIV pandemic.

Some feel relief. Others gratitude. Many are overcome and start crying.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some people say the freedom constricted by the pandemic is beginning to return. And that feeling of liberty is familiar to those who have survived previous epidemics. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a spring afternoon in 1954, 1-year-old Gloria Anderson played with a group of toddlers in Billings, Montana. Two days later her mother learned that one of the other children had contracted polio. Within days, Anderson started feeling sick: first a bit of nausea, then fever. Her mom gasped when she put Anderson in a high chair.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I was kicking one leg,” explained Anderson. “And my mom stuck the pin in my left leg, and I didn’t move it.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Even her mother couldn’t visit. The left side of her body was paralyzed, and the prognosis was dire — she would never walk again. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Anderson was one of the lucky ones. Her immobility was temporary, and six months later she took her first steps. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In rare cases, you can contract polio twice. So when the vaccine arrived in 1955, Anderson’s mother raced her two daughters to the doctor’s office. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was a sugar cube,” said Anderson. “And we all took it. And my mom was radiant!”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The girls were safe. But the disease scarred Anderson both physically and emotionally for life. The left side of her body never recovered, and she’s had to endure numerous medical procedures over the years. In her 60s, Anderson started falling a lot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because a virus almost killed her and still affects her life, Anderson took the coronavirus seriously from the start. She and her husband religiously sheltered in place, and if they had to leave their home, they wore masks. They desperately missed their grandchildren. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There’s heartache,” said Anderson. “These are hard times. But we do it for one another.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like her mother six decades ago, Anderson was beaming when she received her second vaccine shot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel super relieved,” she said. “I am so thankful to feel safe to see my grandkids!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>AIDS in the ’80s. COVID-19 Today. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leo Herrera also felt a familiar sense of relief when a nurse injected a second dose of the COVID vaccine into his arm.

The virus has disproportionately hit Latinos and LGBTQ people\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I’m a gay man,” the San Francisco resident said. “I have a lot of viral trauma from the HIV pandemic.
