So they are telling the unjabbed to take the jab because the jab works And telling the jabbed to get a booster because the jab doesn’t work All while telling everyone that the unjabbed are putting the jabbed in danger by not getting the jab that didn’t protect the jabbed. #science

Had Delta when I was in South Africa this year, had two vaccines since. Not downplaying this but South Africans aren't nearly as freaked out as USA? Freaking out doesn't help. Getting good sleep and good nutrition is a better use of energy.

Have a friend whose wife is in the hospital because she is a paraplegic after an accident. He literally saw them set up tents and crowd of people came while the cameras and news was rolling and then after the news left they packed up the tents and all left....saw it with his own eyes. Even posted pics it on facebook. Probably get taken down though.

We have millions of people here on long island. People getting sick left and right and it's only just starting. Be thankful if you live in a rural area.
