Can't believe people are still having the poison, and listening to these people, who probably never had the crap in there body

I had the first 3 vaccines months ago. I am immune compromised…just recently I was misdiagnosed …after insisting …I was x-rayed and have pneumonia on right lung. After a 10 day dose of very strong antibiotics…. I finished the course but still cannot shake off the dry cough. When can I be vaccinated for the latest Covid Vaccine ?! Thank you for this presentation. Although you might consider a less complicated talk, for those of us who want the info kept simple and to the point. It can become overwhelming to hear so much technical, scientific info!

This particular variant is brutal. I had the 2020 rollout of the delta version. But this 2023 COVID, EG5 had me gasping in an urgent care. Slight sore throat one day and full on violent shivering and dizzy the next. I didn’t get the current vax. I don’t even go out much. But my public safety grew lax too. Stopped using masks and sanitizers. So, I’ve no one to blame but myself. I’m back to full ppe usage while out and about. This virus has been out there doing exercises. Learning better ways to invade our cells. Getting stronger symptomatically as well. It most assuredly isn’t going away.

K i received 💉 kines 10.5.23. The updated 1. mRna thang.

[kenofken]

I'll get it, but not if I have to pay $180 for the vaccine which should cost $30 and then have to pay some sort of administration fee on top of that.

[vicbrittain]

I just a regular guy - this is the most confusing video I’ve ever seen. Just tell me what to take and when to take it. Way to much information. To much MR123 this and XYZ456 that. I don’t care about what Variant is out there. I don’t even know what a variant is.

[firebird]

I have been unemployed since the Covid outbreak in early 2020. I'm caring for my father who is immunocompromised. I rely on food pantries and cannot afford $120 for a vaccine. When will this be available for much less or free?

[randygerber]

I will be in line on day one. Bring it.

[terryfreemark]

Does this new booster need to be from the same company as your original vaccine or boosters?

[tito]

THIS IS SCRIPTED on both ends. This is because they don't believe what they say

It is unfortunate that less than 5000 viewers have seen this important message. Hopefully, they have spoken with their primary care provider.
