Oh, oh, I have one! Via seekingferret, COVID Transmissions (John Skylar). He updates MWF (used to be daily but it got to be too much for him -- he does it in his spare time). He's a PhD and works in the field, and I find his discussions very informative and useful.
Ahaha. I am a college professor who takes immunosuppressive medication with a seven year old who is too young to be vaccinated. I live in Iowa, where a law was passed to make it illegal for schools (public and private) to require masks OR vaccination,
Oh fuck, I am SO SORRY. I hadn't put all that together - in fact, I had somehow missed that Iowa was one of those goddamn "let's turn ourselves into a giant petri dish" states.
What sort of info? Research, news, epidemiology, arguments against deniers/grifters? I pick up a lot of things via Twitter (and then follow links back to sources).
ETA: in particular, there was a moment when someone prominent tried to gatekeep her for only having a Master's not a PhD yet, and many luminaries of epidemiology and immunology Twitter said OH HELL NO:
(That was also when many of said luminaries gently twisted her arm until she set up a Ko-Fi, as she'd admitted she was still saving up to be able to pursue a PhD.)
