  1. I’m grateful to be fully vaccinated.
    And I’m grateful for Democratic Leadership.

    1. Yes! I was really nervous about getting vaccinated, but we had covid last year, and we are not interested in reliving the experience. The minute after I got my vaccine, I felt this massive burden lift of my back. I shocked myself by crying, and I am not a crier. I get my second next week, and I am so so SO relieved.

  2. It is what it is, do nothing.
    I’m gonna get a million vaccines in arms, doing so well, there are extra we can share with the world.

  3. At this point, just sneak up.on those without a mask and just Jab them with A vaccine. Oops. I tripped and accidentally jabbed you.

    1. But the Republicans give money to the rich and corporations. Thank god for Republicans for giving our tax dollars to those essential entities. How are they going to feed their children? MAGA!

  4. I was really nervous about getting vaccinated, but we had covid last year, and we are not interested in reliving the experience.

    1. So far I have received the moderna vaccine and the Johnson and johnson. If I get a chance to get the Pfizer also I will

    2. @Tyrone Jackson I am in no way typical. The sheep are Trump followers who still believe covid is a hoax but if it’s such a hoax why did trump still get a vaccine after he caught it and it almost killed him? Also anyone who believes Trump’s big lie about the election is a sheep

    3. @edward cunha Propaganda at its best. How can we be this stupid? Vaccine still in clinical trial stage; make you sign a waiver that states long term effects are unkonwn; 99.5% survival rate for healthy people; immunity given to drug company; on and on! Good luck all you Sheep!

  5. Thank you Mr. Slavitt.
    You helped saved more lives than we will ever know.
    God bless you:)

    1. @jacq danieles There are way too many far left pundits like this who push manufactured fantasies, theories, & agendas with no real science, or historical facts to base them on.
      Then they rewrite history thinking they can gain credibility by lying about the past. HONEST, TRUTHFUL PEOPLE DON’T BUY IT…

    2. @jacq danieles So no comment on Jim Crowe Joe saying the quiet part out loud? Let me guess, you need to read a CNN article to have the response programmed into your hivemind.

  6. Manufactured consent by bribery = communism

  7. Manufactured consent by bribery = communism
