Femme not female, she/they

Qatherine is standing on a black mat between the strands of her multicordes. Her arms are spread wide to hold the two halves of the multicordes apart. They are learning forward and looking out between the strands with a big smile.
Qatherine is in the air on a multicordes apparatus consisting of many strands of thin white rope. She is wearing a red and orange three-pointed jester hat and a blue jester neck ruff that look like the Joker character from the game Balatro. Under that, she is wearing a gray leotard with black detail that mimics the top worn by Joker from Persona 5 and black shorts with cut-outs. It is difficult to see details, but she is wearing white and black makeup to mimic Persona 5 Joker’s domino mask. The multicordes are divided into two sections; one section is wrapped under her knee and over her shoulder and the other section is in her hand. Both of their knees are dramatically bent and their feet are flexed.

From NEJM article on FDA's new requirements for COVID-19 vaccination, a list of underlying medical conditions that are considered by the CDC to increase risk of severe disease. This list includes asthma, cancer, mental health conditions, obesity, and smoking; please check the source article or the CDC's website for the full list because it's too long to list in alt text, sorry!
Screenshot of NEJM article linked earlier in thread. Text reads: "Even health care workers remain hesitant, with less than one third participating in the 2023–2024 fall booster program.5 There may even be a ripple effect: public trust in vaccination in general has declined,6 resulting in a reluctance to vaccinate that is affecting even vital immunization programs such as that for measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccination, which has been clearly established as safe and highly effective. In recent years, reduced MMR vaccination rates have been a growing concern and have contributed to serious illness and deaths from measles. Against this context, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks to provide guidance and foster evidence generation."
