Open Thread | COVID UPDATE

I can’t say this enough.
Get vaccinated.
99 of every 100 people dying today from COVID
ARE UNVACCINATED.
If you are 12 and up…

YOU NEED TO BE VACCINATED.

99 of every 100 deaths from COVID TODAY
ARE PREVENTABLE
PREVENTABLE
PREVENTABLE😠😠😠😠

They are dying FOR NOTHING😠😠

She broke down the numbers

Stop saying incompetence. It is deliberate malice.

There are brilliant Black doctors out here giving great COVID VACCINE knowledge and advice:

Others are more tolerant of the “vaccine hesitant” than me. It has been several billion shots given worldwide. Time for you to step up and GET THE SHOT!😠

At this point, anti-vaxx is anti-Black

Truth

😂😂😂😂

😢😢😢😢😢

Da phuq😠

    The entire ‘ Border Crisis’ right now in Texas?

    The entire scenario just doesn’t smell right in any way, shape, or form. 

    Haiti is an ISLAND.

    AN ISLAND.

    I repeat – an ISLAND. 

    How do all these desperate poor people from an ISLAND, 

    get to Mexico, in order to get to the TEXAS border?

    Why aren’t they hovering off the coast of FLORIDA?

    And, I was told , over the weekend, that a lot of them came from Brazil.

    BRAZIL?

    First, we had them from MEXICO.

    Now, we have poor, desperate Haitians going to BRAZIL.

    and, from BRAZIL, suddenly popping up in Mexico on the Texas Border. 

    STILL, nobody has made sense of this for me. Because the logistics don’t add up.
