  1. Imagine a virus so scary you have to convince the most vulnerable to be “protected” against it

    1. When my family came to the US, they thought doctors were revered heavily in the West because they save lives and Western medicine is on a completely new level from where I came from. They’re astonished that there’s so much mistrust now, but I am not. The US is literally the land of diabetes and obesity; that says it all. Anyway, for all you people not wanting to take the vaccine, have you heard what’s going on in India? There’s a fatal fungal infection going on called mucormycosis that is loving COVID-infected AND recovered patients.

    2. @Lin Z shut up u take it and move on. If you scared just off yourself and stop living

    3. @AgentCody Banx8 the corruption and their poisons have only gotten much worse and more exposed in the last 50 years….. even that time frame is wrought with death and corruption.

  2. Never take health advice from the national news or government without researching for yourself, talking to those you trust, and talking to your doctor.

    1. There weren’t “asymptomatic” people…..they never had “COVID” at all. They tested false positive from a “method” that was never meant to be a test or a “gold standard” (culturing). Look up the 2007 NY Times article called “Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t” by Gina Kolata. The scam should become very apparent. Now look up who invented the P.C.R. method, what it was intended for, and who invented it. The name “Fauci” will come up in your research.

    2. @Jamey Lane Ahh yes the inventor of the PCR test who conveniently died not too long before covid. Yeah he said pcr can basically always find anything you want it to He had a lot to say about fraudci too. Great guy to bad hes gone.

  3. “Healthy 17-year-old boy gets blood clots in brain after COVID vaccine” 

    “Everest Romney, 17, felt his neck swell the day after his COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine shot and he then experienced severe headaches”

    1. @Un Known Yeah there is proof the vaccine has killed people. You just want to disagree with someone without doing research or you are in denial about a rushed vaccine. You probably think there is no proof that antifa is funded by George Soros to destabilize democracy.

    2. @John Copenhaver I am going to assume you have some other scientifically backed, peer reviewed data outside of VAERS showing that the vaccine is killing people. Please do share. Also, I am going to chalk it up to your ignorance surrounding the actual clinical trials that were done and the history of mRNA vaccines in clinical trials as your bases for using rushed in a negative or derogatory manner. Additionally, not sure what this has to do with anything but please provide verifiable and documented bank statements, wire transfers, or any manner of receipt for your Soros assertions. Just because you read it on FB or saw it in a video on this platform doesn’t mean it’s objective truth. Im sorry but your assertions lack merit as they are bereft of any scientifically based factual data.

    3. So what’s your point. They already said like any other medication you take there are risks of side effects, Three-year-old Heather Rose Kiss of New Jersey died a week after taking a few doses of Children’s Advil. All three girls developed a rare, excruciatingly painful disease after an apparent allergic reaction to ibuprofen.Jan. 4, 2005

  4. And imagine the guilt she would have felt if her mother suffered a fatal reaction to the vaccine.

    1. @Thyalwaysseek The VAERS system had 4,434 reports of deaths after coronavirus vaccinations as of May 10. That represents a mortality rate of 0.0017 percent, whereas the mortality rate for people who develop covid-19 is much higher: 1.8 percent in the United States, according to a database maintained by Johns Hopkins University.
      However, no evidence or scientific study shows any coronavirus vaccine caused any deaths. According to the CDC: “A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines. However, recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and a rare and serious adverse event — blood clots with low platelets — which has caused deaths.” As of May 4, more than 8.4 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson-Janssen vaccine had been given in the United States. U.S. officials have identified 23 confirmed cases of people who got this single-dose vaccine and later developed blood clots, which means a rate of 0.0003 percent.

    2. @Thyalwaysseek there’s the real info for you, you conspiratorial misinformed lunatic. Read it, understand you’re wrong, and stop spreading misinformation on the internet.

    3. @Rusty Chain However, no evidence or scientific study shows any coronavirus vaccine caused any deaths. According to the CDC: “A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines. “Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to VAERS,” the CDC says. “While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Most reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.”

    4. @The Commie Slayer “Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to VAERS,” the CDC says. “While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Most reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.”

      The CDC also says: “A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines.”
      In other words, not 3,000 but zero, as far as the science shows.

    5. @John Albert The CDC also says: “A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines.”

    1. They will never have Dr. Michael Yeadon on because he will destroy the entire narrative.

  5. And just like a movie…they can form a scenario and play it out on TV as they do in a movie.

    1. @Constituent A they are not to mitigate perceived events. They are preprogrammed events to cull the population for false perceived climate change events that are natural and cyclical. Just rich men trying desperately to stay rich and promote falsehoods about the earth, humans and cause and affect.

    2. @Ada Zade Dais You advocate for Bezos by specifically directing people to make purchases on Amazon by name.

    3. @D RooR Buzzing around like a gnat saying stupid things while two adults are talking won’t elevate anyone’s low opinion of you.

  6. I love the peer pressure. Nothing like twisting people’s arm. So much for freedom choice. You know, my body my choice. Not anymore….

    1. This is why *we must STAY STRONG, both physically, mentally, and psychologically!*
      The battle is going to be loooong if we still want to keep our liberty and freedom to choose!

    2. @ExtraordinaryLiving What happens if the Veterans would have thought like you, Its my freedom of choice I m not going, Where would you be today. No they didn t they took on the repository of protecting there people. To bad you arn t a patriot like them

  7. Shutting off your tv cures covid variants including china and now the brazilian strand and heightens your fashion sense

    1. Exactly. I stopped watching the news last year. I got off work yesterday and noticed everyone was lined up at the gas pump, so I stopped and asked some dude what was going on. Long story short, he said his t.v. told him and everyone else to get all of the gas now and live in fear of the Russians

  8. *How I manipulated my mother to get the experimental covid vaccine.
    Fixed your headline for you.

    1. @Moms MADD
      Yours is the best, most unambiguous, and to the point title! 👏👏👏👏

    2. @Moms MADD yep. I’m going to paste my other comment here:

      DO NOT GET THE VACCINE. My aunt is dying from the vaccine. She had a brain clot, and she got the vaccine four days ago. Don’t believe me? Millions of other people who got the vaccine are dying/dead from brain clots. The vaccine is dangerous. I believe that the vaccine was created by the freemasons, as one of the main people who helped make the vaccine is a freemason. Please, please don’t get the vaccine. I may lose my aunt because of it. Some people may think that I’m a crazy troll or a person that doesn’t know the truth. But the fact is that many other people don’t see the truth.

  9. Thank you very, very much Meria!! This video has convinced me to NOT!!!!! get the vaccine! Without you I would have taken it.

  10. I pushed and shamed my poor mother into taking something against her will, is what she really said…..

    1. @Super Star Vets never had a chance to choose whether to go to war either. Too protect people.

    2. @Moms MADD …lol…you still trying to push that Democrat Naxi propaganda???😅 I am NO threat to you, you ridiculous Naxi. I dont have your ridiculous virus. You will never make a medical decision for anyone but yourself Naxi.

    3. @Moms MADD and dont abuse VETS. You are disgracing Vets, who FOUGHT younNaxis, yiu disgrace them by pulling your oppressive Democrat Naxi tactics to force people to do something against their will.

    4. @Moms MADD …AND…while many Vets didn’t choose to go to war …MOST did choose.
      You are a classic Naxi

  11. I was 16 when I got Covid-19. I’m on immuno suppressors, symptoms lasted less than a week. However with there still being a death toll, be careful. Overall just do what you think is best for yourself and your friends and family around you. Don’t listen to the msm trying to convince you if something.

  12. OMG, am soooo glad to see the ratio of thumb-downs to thumb-ups … gives me hope that there are really more smart people out there … just that they have been silent thus far! 😎
