    1. @Bryan Not getting vaccinated is becoming like playing Russian Roulette. With a hand grenade that takes out people all around you as well.
      But red staters don’t get upset because the bombers yell “MY BODY MY CHOICE” instead of “ALLAHU AKBAR”. 🤷‍♂️

    2. @niels lund out if millions infected they claim 650k plus death plus to scare you to take vaccine ,yet no commercial to say try to eat healthy also and boost that immune system because it’s the ones with underlying health issues that are dying ,stay off that tobacco and big mac

    3. um no, clearly you are NOT! This is about YOU & YOU alone! The vaccine does NOT protect others, only the person that gets it & by you taking extras, you deny another person the chance to get it & live! That’s why the WHO is against this you selfish fool!

    1. “Masks are ineffective in keeping out the virus, which is small enough to pass through the material” – Dr. Michael Osterholm

    2. @OUTLAW Videos You do not understand anything, the Delta variant came from India via Europe to the USA with international air traffic, not with a bunch of people moving slowly up through South and Central America.

    3. @Bryan Viruses are small enough for that, but that’s not how they work, they are in small drops of liquid that people exhale. These drops are large enough to be trapped in the fabric from which the masks are made.

    4. out if millions infected they claim 650k plus death plus to scare you to take vaccine ,yet no commercial to say try to eat healthy also and boost that immune system because it’s the ones with underlying health issues that are dying ,stay off that tobacco and big mac

    1. @Comrade Catpurrnicus COVID WOULD DIE OUT IT JOE BIDEN LOCKED THE BORDER DOWN AND STOP LETTING PEOPLE COME IN WHILE WE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC!! P.S KIDS ARE STILL IN CAGES AT THE BORDER 🤷‍♂️

    2. @Elizabeth Ayres I WONDER IF JOE HIDEN IS GUNNA MAKE THE TALIBAN PASS BACKROUND CHECKS ON ALL THOSE GUNS WE GIVING THEM FOR FREE

    3. @OUTLAW Videos You do not understand anything, the Delta variant came from India via Europe to the USA with international air traffic, not with a bunch of people moving slowly up through South and Central America.

    4. @Comrade Catpurrnicus um no, that only occurs with “sterilising vaccines”, which covid is NOT! If what you’re suggesting was possible, we would have eliminated flu by now, but we can’t do that anymore than we can with covid with currently available vaccines. Please educate yourself & don’t spread lies

    1. And the 4th booster? Cause that will be needed on this new schedule!
      Do you realise what impact 1 billion vaccines could have on preventing new variants if used in that way instead of just on Americans?

    2. Some vaccine. Quickly declines in effectiveness, and doesn’t prevent you from spreading Covid to others…

    1. out if millions infected they claim 650k plus death plus to scare you to take vaccine ,yet no commercial to say try to eat healthy also and boost that immune system because it’s the ones with underlying health issues that are dying ,stay off that tobacco and big mac

  1. Joe Biden is doing a good Job he fight to get people home plus still fight to save Americans fight the COVID I hope he gets all his plans too it will be good for everyone working poor!

    1. Can’t understand nothing your saying I think you need to learn better English before you use our language

  2. When I’m down there I’m going to see if they’ll give me my measles booster and my chickenpox booster LOL

    1. @Scott wetzstein out if millions infected they claim 650k plus death plus to scare you to take vaccine ,yet no commercial to say try to eat healthy also and boost that immune system because it’s the ones with underlying health issues that are dying ,stay off that tobacco and big mac

  3. I guess the majority of blacks and Hispanics who are unvaxxed just don’t trust the Biden admin. Can’t really blame them.

  4. So, the 1st around didn’t work? What about the elderly covid survivors who got the vaccine? Why do they need a booster?

    1. that’s 6 months in summer, but it’s a winter illness, so obviously it will need to be less gap between them in winter months. That’s why it should be delayed now until early winter!

    2. @J L it’s still a winter illness! Same as flu, a small percentage of people still get it in summer, but the vast majority get it in winter. Surely you learnt that last winter? I mean really????? You saw it go largely under control as the temperatures increased & then you saw control be completely & utterly lost as flu/covid season began & then you saw cases dive again as flu/covid season came to an end & now you think you’re not heading for another winter nightmare????? What will it take for you to learn that this is a winter illness? How many times do you need to see a total loss of control in winter to recognise what you’re seeing?

  5. Look at all these sheep …. keep putting that poison in your body soon enough your immune system will not work

    1. @danuta dobrowolska out if millions infected they claim 650k plus death plus to scare you to take vaccine ,yet no commercial to say try to eat healthy also and boost that immune system because it’s the ones with underlying health issues that are dying ,stay off that tobacco and big mac

    2. likely the opposite actually, TB vaccines halve the childhood death rates from ALL respiratory infections, cause they teach the immune system to watch for a wide range of bugs. Why would you think the covid one wouldn’t do that too & would do the opposite? There’s no evidence to support that idea is there

  6. The biggest human trials in history it’s awesome that everything is being approved at record speed god bless America

    1. @Mr R hmmm looks like someone got their little feelings hurt 🤕 by my cheerleading routine. Never knew pompoms were such deadly weapons. Edit- I also like how you deleted your original comment

    2. @Sam Magny Just looked at your dp…You’re my lil sis (or maybe young enough to be my daughter). I’m not gonna argue with you. Big up yourself

    3. @Sam Magny lol… look, lady, I’m trying to help you to not be on the losing side of an exchange between us.

      Firstly (and lastly), you demanded that I answer a question which was not posed to me. Where do we go from here?

    4. @Mr R you responded to his question so you put yourself in it. And you didn’t even answer the question. Where you can go from here is leave it alone because I don’t see an end to this. And then you even had the audacity to delete your original post so……..

  7. How do you turn a sheep into a Guinea Pig?? >> Give it a C0vid shot

    How do you turn a Guniea Pig into a Vegetable?? >> Give it a booster shot

    You’re welcome 😷🤣🤣🤣

    1. @Immersive Music Videos it’s called a joke. Like you, I’m double-jabbed and feel extremely safe and protected

    2. @Immersive Music Videos figured you out: anyone who expresses any skepticism is met with your carefully worded question. Do you not believe that to be so, Agent?

      Edit: I read about this type thing in history… Interesting. A passive, non-threatening way to shut down discussion. Smart man / organisation.

    3. @Immersive Music Videos Your comprehensive skills need some work.

      Don’t thank me, just get it done!

      Edit: (Nearly forgot the obligatory emoji, so…) 😉

  8. America is basically a glorified Brazil at this point. The only difference is, most people like Brazilians, and they don’t invade countries, killing innocents, leaving death and destruction in their wake.

  9. well that’s just stupid! It’s winter when the vaccine needs to be at it’s highest effectiveness to prevent hospitals being overwhelmed! Needs to be October/November that they are given to achieve that, NOT October! This is just setting up for yet another booster in Dec/Jan!

    1. You might as well consider boosters are most likely going to be given frequently because they don’t know how well the vaccine is going to protect long term which it has proven to already not work like they thought which was get the vaccine and you are cured

  10. Imagine how awesome it would be if it took out billions and only ike 5000 people were left in the world. Survivors could get back to LIVING life the way it was meant to be lived instead of just existing being slaves to the government and police with all the laws and rules
