Dear MoveOn member,
The availability of safe and highly effective vaccines is our way out of
this pandemic nearly two years after COVID-19 turned all of our lives
upside down.
Almost 202 million Americans are now fully vaccinated, children ages five
and older are getting the vaccine, and the CDC is encouraging all
vaccinated adults 18 and older to get the booster shot.^1,2
With the rise of the concerning omicron variant, it's critical to continue
to spread the word that vaccination is the best way we can protect
ourselves as well as our friends and family.
To keep your vaccine card protected and spread the word that vaccines are
safe and effective, MoveOn has produced a big batch of these "Pro-Science,
Pro-Health, Pro-Vaccine" vaccine card holders, and we're giving them away
for free while supplies last!

card holders. Click here or on the image below to order yours right now,
before supplies run out!

Although vaccination numbers are continuing to tick up, the United States
is averaging nearly 1,300 deaths per day from COVID-19, driven almost
entirely by infections among unvaccinated individuals.^3
Much of the hesitancy from unvaccinated people is coming from rampant
misinformation about COVID and vaccines that is spreading online and,
crucially, by Republican politicians themselves.
Far-right Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken the lead, banning many mask
and vaccine mandates recommended by public health officials and throwing
his support to anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists—human cost be damned.^4
Make no mistake, Abbott's decision is a political one: He hopes that he
can win his election in 2022 by riling up the Republican base and
weaponizing public health advice, using the same playbook that gave
Republicans victories in Virginia last month.^5
MoveOn is doing everything in its power to fight back, including preparing
to run an enormous campaign to defeat COVID conspiracy-peddling
Republicans up and down the ballot during next year's midterm elections.
We'll be rolling out our plans in the coming weeks, but if you want to get
involved right now—and protect your vaccine card from damage at the same
time!—you can order one of our free "Pro-Science, Pro-Health, Pro-Vaccine"
vaccine card holders to help spread the word and fight back against
right-wing misinformation!

P.S. As more and more state and local governments, along with private
businesses, require individuals to be vaccinated in order to enter indoor
spaces, you may find yourself carrying your COVID vaccine card more often.
