It’s mighty hysterical when humans say this isn’t real, it’s all made up, until your child, Mom, dad, brother or sissy or cuz, or love dies from C19, when all ya had to do was get a shot to begin with and if that didn’t protect you at least you are pro active and protected those who surround you, but NO remember this isn’t real it’s a made up disease, till one of yours in your tribe dies from this! So ya I wish you all luck and I mean those who didn’t listen to the ⚠️ warning to just hush an get your shot, wear a mask an protect, wash hands an get your shot!

The reason they now need morgue trucks is because of the vaccines. Why else would we be so overwhelmed with the dead when the only thing that’s changed is that people are getting vaccinated.

think for yourself, what is best for you. according to this article the vaccine didn't work. Sorry for your loss, the hospital hesitated the first time. It's on them. FYI, FDA doesn't test drugs or vaccines, NIH does then sends results for FDA approval. Pfizer was approved because Christine Grady pushed it through, she's the head of NIH BIO ETHICS. She is also the wife of Anthony Fauchi.. You go and think about this.

I guess we better stop trying to impose our will on those who don’t wish to be imposed upon. We need firefighters, police, doctors and nurses. If these people strike or walkout in decent numbers we are going to have bigger problems than covid 19. I know I would like a staffed hospital or a police officer available if I need them so as a result I don’t think we should try to mandate what they do it’s not going to go well for the rest of society.

Why isn't an employer allowed to require their employees meet certain minimum standards... including vaccines. Every employee that gets sick is a drain on resources and potentially costs the insurance pool hundreds of thousands of dollars... all preventable by a fully approved and tested vaccine. It is the capitalistic way. Funny how you righties moan about socialism... until it suits your needs.
