What I want to know about is the new FTX variant. For those who don't know, the FTX variant has itself spread worldwide, causing accute loss of financial ability to those unfortunate enough to be affected by it. Congress needs to DO SOMETHING about this...NOW!!

Covid brought in tons of watchers for news sources. They’re really not letting it go.

[HelennaPierce]

Still a pureblood and I'm never sick, unlike many of my vaccinated coworkers. I'm not getting jabbed over and over again with something I know nothing about.

[visoroverwatch]

XBB sounds like a rapper name than a covid variant lol.

[johnnybravo]

public health experts. their track record speaks for it's self

[corporalsanders]

Why do they make such a big deal out of each new variant. They already said it's not any more dangerous and deaths are still low.

[henryroman]

They should also mention that all the other variants were resistant to the boosters as well.

[adamsquires]

I still haven’t gotten any jabs. And I still haven’t caught any coof. I thought if you didn’t get the jab, you were supposed to get it.

Shout out to all my pure blood heroes 💪 👏

[Ratch]

Smh. I just got over Covid for the second time. I hate Covid!!!

[bobbybrown]

Like I wear my mask at da club, like I wear my mask here…never mind a clot shot test, how’s about an IQ test for these people.

[smithgorrilugum]

I've remained unvaccinated going on three years now. What am I supposed to do; run out and get vaccinated and fully boosted now??? Give me a break!🙄

[MattyTheConstitutionalist]

Lol a new variant 🤣 I'm still waiting to catch the first strain.

[duvine]

To see a pandemic variant being reported while maskless in maskless crowds is priceless.

[Vikingsmoke]
