  1. You can hear the pain in the nurse’s voice as she talks about her father. My condolences for every family that has lost a loved one to Covid

    1. @Steller 187 I’m not getting the benefit personally ®e£a®d. People lost their jobs and can’t find work and need support. The states and trump was and still is a complete failure! Most cases, most deaths, no support for Americans who need it but at least trump started football again! Our food banks don’t have 2 miles long lines and we are celebrating Christmas in our homes and not on the street! America is the laughing stock of the world, we are all pointing and laughing at you and your president, it’s unfortunate for the people but that’s suppose to be the presidents job to worry about not mine 🙂

    2. @Nick it’s not our presidents job to hold your states governor or majors hand and if you think so you know nothing of government or history.

    3. @Nick fortunately for you the comments aren’t being saved. But the videos of these reporters lying to America are being saved, for history. I’m sorry your a victim of misinformation in our propaganda war.

    4. @Steller 187 You lose! Just like trump! And by a “landslide”! Have a great time in lockdown with Biden, maybe it’ll get a little better and less of your people will die! It’s a complete failure, it’s really shameful honestly, I can’t help but feel bad for many Americans, I’m extremely proud to be Canadian! I don’t know how many times during this pandemic I’ve said “I’m so glad I’m not american!” It use to be a place everyone loved and respected, trump turned it upside down and destroyed how people viewed America. Shame.

  2. For those that are skeptical you have every right to be but millions of people will take this before it gets to you. So if you are nervous fear not, plenty of people will let us know of side effects.

  3. Exactly……My friend her mom and dad got it at same time. My friend got it from her dad whom was the only one she visited other than her mom and they don’t know how he got it as they all took precautions. The dad’s symptoms for 8 days was extreme fatigue, the mom sneezing and sore throat for a day, my friend had severe flu symptoms, fever, aches, going to bathroom a lot for 8 days then on the same day my friend and dad were taken to hospital unable to breath. The dad was put on a ventilator my friend on oxygen. The dad passed two weeks later and my friend remained in hospital for close to a month. Month and a half after discharge from hospital my friend is still on meds. Spiriva, Breo, singular and antihistamine cocktail. She’s doing better thankfully but doesn’t know how long she needs to take the meds for as she is still breathless at times. Everyone has a story but the one fact remains is that you do not know how it will affect you!

  4. I’m glad this brave person got her vaccine. Sadly many other people will not get it in time. What a strange time we live, when 3,247 people die in one day in the USA. Every day I thank god nobody I know has been taken by this terrible plague. I know eventually we will all loose people we know to Covid-19.

  5. Nurse Ramirez thank you for helping Americans in our time of need. I’m so sorry for the loss of your family, my heart goes out to you and your family.
