Thank you for your sense of humor Elizabeth. Thank you for better equipping us to look out for our loved ones. Lastly, please do more segments like this. Where can I go to get those stats that you were quoting at the end?

For someon peaking out about then ineptitudes of the medical system, it's pretty bold of her to conclude that vaccines are safe. I wonder if the hospital ever mentioned the things her baby was vaccinated for within the first 24 hours. Did she check to see if her seizures were a side effect?

Hope at some point when she wants to repot on real news she gets out in the in the streets and do some real journalism and more research Happy to hear her baby is ok cant say that for some that took the vaccine

Hear this well, you get told what to say, and don't have an ounce of journalistic integrity as a result.
