Five of my husband's co+workers quit because the place they work are requiring masks again. A few other people started yelling that they were being treated like Jews in Nazi Germany. It's not fun living in a town with mostly brainwashed idiots who think Fox News Is real news.

YOU ARE LYING. The FDA only extended the EUA.

Must be a coincidence that Pfizer is the only FDA-approved vaccine… 🤔

Want me to get the shot, then I want to see them little kids get that shot. It is just a cop out telling everybody to get it for the kids. Vax or not, That would prove your shot works. Keeping it real here! You guys are missing something here!

MyPresident is doing a great job cleaning up a sht ton of TRUMP'S disasters!!!!!!!!!!

It is a tough legal position. I do think that it is best by far to get vaccinated than not. Mask up, too. Protect one another. = Democracy needs you

If this was Trump, you be calling him a facist. But when democrat leadership makes an over reach of authority, its 'good news'.

Pfizer-BioNTech is not an 'open patent'; Moderna is...yet the administration makes no effort to distinguish between Corporate Politics & Medical Ethics. Meanwhile, Pfizer reaps our tax revenue for Germany while Moderna is spurned for preferring Scientific Transparency over Greed.

We need to ask the Taliban if they are sure we can vaccinate ourselves first. We don't want to piss them off.
