Highly deceptive headline. Goes on to mention the CDC (of course) saying that breast cancer patients are “at a higher risk” of getting deathly ill from the Fauci-Wuhan virus.

Especially if the've been vaccinaeted, thereby comprimising their already weakened immune system.

Maybe she shouldn’t be in a public position if she is afraid of the public. She’s supposed to serve the people, not the other way around. At any rate, good for the Surgeon General.

This is the epitome of this hysteria.... everyone needs to wear a mask for a seriously ill man instead of the seriously ill man staying home and working remotely

BINGO! Time for her to resign and let someone more "capable" take over.

I’m guessing Polsky has been jabbed. So why is she worried about catching the Woo Hoo Flu?

I’m also guessing she KNOWS due to her cancer and her higher risk of catching covid BECAUSE she’s been vaxxed - she has every reason to be worried and nervous.

Stupid twit. In her condition - she ought to stay home. Far away from EVERYONE. The vaxxed and the unvaxxed.

My 65 year old mother got COVID 2 weeks after her last round of radiation to treat breast cancer. She’s alive and well. These blanket statements about people based on diagnosis is getting old.

I’m also gonna guess that Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo also has been vaccinated. So again - WHY is this twit making a scene simply because he won’t wear a paper towel on his face?

“Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has received the full approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, meeting high standards required for the vaccine to be considered safe. It has been administered to millions and proven to be effective against hospitalization and death. However, immunity against infection can wane over time.”

IF I WERE THE EDITOR, IT WOULD’VE READ THIS WAY:

Pfizer’s Corminaty vaccine has been granted license by the Food and Drug Administration, with further study required to determine if it meets high standards required for the vaccine to be considered safe. Pfizer’s COVID 19 bio-N-Tech vaccine, issued under Emergency Use Authorization, has been administered to millions and proven to be somewhat effective against infection. Many adverse reactions, including deaths, are suspected of the vaccine. Immunity to the infection can wane over time.

She needs to quit and go home and spend time with her family instead of grandstanding for headlines.

she is the one who needs to take ownership of her health. Stay home if you are that much at risk.

Today in Covid Theater...

Desantis has driven dems mad with his success, like Trump did. Just a proxy attack.

Cloth is NOT magical and blocks no virus (as they are all smaller than smoke particles which go right through cloth). Democrats and MSM are liars and always call things the opposite of what they are, just as Rules For Radicals tells them to do. I read an article over at TheRightScoop on the consequences, “Thousands of state workers resign or fired over vaccine mandate in Washington State”, so give that a look. Nobody is anti-vaccine but these are NOT vaccines. You don’t get sick from those, or need to distance, or to wear a mask. Plus I would think the State’s Surgeon General (a doctor) would know more than a State Senator on that issue anyway.
