Did Y'all get the AIDS vaccine?

We should focus on being civil and educating people about the [Covid vaccine] and not trying to bully them into taking it and work at it that way,” he told right-wing podcast host Erick Erickson.

“[The Covid vaccine] is basically how the AIDS vaccine worked. People wouldn’t take it early on because it was mandated, they started educating people and now it is doing a lot of good out there. Same scenario, different year that we are dealing with right now.”

Salon reports Kemp has used this argument before. “Well we are not going to have a statewide mask mandate,” he said previously. “[Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Health Dr. Kathleen] Tumi and I believe that they do not work. They did not work with the AIDS vaccine and they’re not going to work with the corona vaccine.”

Unvaccinated couple die within hrs of each other, leaving 7 children

I felt a sense of anger and sadness reading this. A year ago, this time, a story like this would only invoke sadness. But now it’s just inexcusable to have all this responsibility and not get vaccinated

After a woman apparently died from COVID-19, her husband, who was also hospitalized with the virus, was so distraught by the news that he passed away hours later from a heart attack. The high school sweethearts, both 44-years-old, left behind seven children.

“They met when they were 14 years old, got married, been married 22 years, and had seven beautiful children,” said Tiki Green, sister of Troy Green, Fox 2 Detroit reports

Sad to say a good # of people in this country would have sided with the terrorists

If 9/11 happened today. That’s how low we have sunk. They would delight in NY being attacked. Anything to own the libs😢

RIP Michael K. Williams

Such a gifted talent. You will be missed. It is ironic that the last film he worked on was about the shadiness of drug rehab facilities.
There are a select few characters that we never forget. Michael’s portrayal of Omar in THe Wire, is one of them.

Cinderella on Prime is good fun

Fantastic escapism from all the bad news. If you are an 80’s music fan, you will love some of the musical numbers. I started watching with my 8 yr old niece, she didn’t love it, she went to bed half way through it. I think this version is more grown up version so not something she would like.

Help me understand this abortion vigilante law

So a perfect stranger can sue another perfect stranger for helping a woman get an abortion, even though perfect stranger #1 does not have to know this woman? I’m not trying to be cute. I’ve always thought there needed to be some kind of damage to you - the person suing? I don’t get it. Can other laws be passed so citizens can sue other strangers for breaking the law, even if it does not affect them personally. Help me out here

Andrea Mitchell is a joke

Never been a fan, she was just rambling about President Biden wanting to get out of Afghanistan because nobody agreed with him in 2008 and he was trashed in Bob Woodward’s book. “He never forgot that”.
So now we are down to him being slighted?
