"Jail anyone who refuses to PROTECT LIFE"
"unvaccinated selfishness"
And let's not forgot that most of the NFL players stood in line so they too could play the vaxxxine death lottery. They were injected so they too will have a pretty good chance of dropping dead long before they would be expected to die.
