    1. Well it’s written in the laws of these pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer you’re not able to sue or bring a class action lawsuit against any of these pharmaceutical companies if injured.? as a result of taking their vaccines.. forget the conspiracy theories? that tells you everything you need to know?

  1. I was a young nurse, and I look young for my age and a lot of my patients always seemed very nervous oh, so I would throw a bunch of medical jargon at them and explain what I was doing in medical terms so that they would trust me. So many people walked up to me can I speak to the nurse? And I would be like yeah that’s me. Oh, can I speak to the charge nurse? And I would be like yeah… That’s me.

    1. It’s not like she has more experience as a journalist than all the people interviewing her combined or anything… …oh wait, she does.

    1. I can’t think of a single place on Earth that hasn’t sold their neighbor into slavery. Usually as the phrase of ” nations always hate their neighbor ” used to be more true than right now. Wars political, for more land to hold more people, or just to spread a religion were many before the 1900s. You still have wars going on for land and religion. For political reasons i think we mostly got away from those but the other reasons we as a species haven’t.

      The losing side almost always never got to write the history and almost always was either killed or if they were lucky sold as a slave. Some got away from it by being so far down on the social ladder than no one paid attention to them but they were effectively slaves to the local leader anyways.

  2. The biggest reason for distrust is individuals saying one thing and doing another. Doublemindedness. Real leaders and authentic people emulate excellent behavior. Caring and loving behavior is easy to spot.

    1. That’s the problem….they don’t know. They skipped the animal trials, we are the 3rd trials that were skipped. They have no clue what the long term implications will be especially using new “technology” or the the effectiveness or length of effectiveness. Now Australia has stopped their vaccine because there were HIV positive results.

    2. @chrisntheboat no it’s not. It’s in Australia. They made a vaccine, during trials some people tested positive for HIV. I suppose the question is, are they false positives and if not, was it from the vaccine. Those questions apparently have not been answered yet.

  3. Hi I’m so glad you keep the news informed and honest. You are helping to keep America united. Thank you for continuing to give us the truth.

  4. The government and its entities has killed many people in the name of science and religion especially my black brothers and sisters. United States has a wicked satanic history. You trust them!

    1. But it did happen I dont care when it was told. One thing I can say NOBODY stole that from her not even that dumpy trumpy who doesnt want to even say it happened but instead takes credit for the release of the vaccine…

  5. Not for nothing I’m kind of offended they only included her role as a faith leader in the header. She was a better journalist than a good portion of CNNs staff.

  6. As someone from Tuskegee, Alabama there are other fears that incorporate this mindset. The myths that are still taught at medical universities about blacks continue to be perpetuated. When the majority of these doctors go into practice, they have been indoctrinated with pre-conceived stereotyping with such ideas that blacks have higher pain tolerance, our skin is thicker, and often view our health concerns as complaints, making it easier to be misdiagnosed. A lot of these doctors need to examine their bias in order to build trust in minority communities and will assist in lowering treatment disparity.

  7. Henrietta Lack from Staunton, VA I believe. I’ve been trying to think of her name for the last month. THANK YOU for reminding me. That is a fantastic story right there.
