YOU GUN TOTING RUBES! YOU RACIST, SEXIST, BIGOTED, HOMOPHOBIC, UNEMPLOYED TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO POST YOUR RIGHT WING, PRIVILEGED HATEFUL SCREEDS FROM YOUR MOTHER’S BASMENT.......please help us get back to normal. It’s your patriotic duty to help others.

[lightman]

Ranch Covidians.

[asinclair]

Easy.

1. Remove the word "emergency" from the approval
2. Remove the word "experimental" from the approval
3. Tell the vaccinated they don't need to wear masks
4. Tell the vaccinated they (mostly) won't catch COVID-19

[lightman]

Bingo...without ending separation and suffocation there really isn’t much of an incentive for getting vaccinated.

For some of us the 24-36 hours were the hangover from hell plus menopausal hot flashes.

Gotta make it worth while!

[silverleaf]

Uh Oh
They are running out of willing volunteers for Phase 3 clinical trials of gene therapy shots....

[CaptainPhilFan]

Anyone else ever had the impression that when these political snobs say “Folks” they actually intend to say “Ignorant cattle” or “Silly ewoks”? I consider it a huge insult.

[Harpotoo]

Look, get the shot, don’t get it. I wasn’t gonna do any except the J&J. I’m good now.

[roving]

I didn’t get the shot, yet I’m good too. Weird.

[cgbg]

folks understand that the facts and science are there

Actually, these vaccines are miracles.

With less than one year of development, the brilliant scientists used time machines to travel into the future and determine the long term (five year, ten year, fifteen year) effects of the vaccines.

We are so lucky to live in this age of miracles!

Want to see what Heath Secretaries can be “hinged” on sweetheart?

[Chickensoup]

Have you decided not to get Jand J?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

The solution will involve convincing people, especially in rural areas, that they want and need vaccine, according to Pennsylvania Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam.

Don't. Want.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

"Ms. Beam is not a doctor and she comes from outside the health department. "

Is this an improvement over the last Man pretending to be a Woman, who technically was a doctor??

[Mom MD]

We have vaccines. they work. let those who want the vaccine get it and those who don’t want it alone. A vaccinated person will not get or carry covid (or the rare percent that do will not get a serious case) so they don’t have to worry about it. A non vaccinated person has made their choice to take their chances with the disease. Neither one is a threat to the other so what’s the issue. Let’s open up

[lightman]

The only “improvement” is that her parts are genuine OEM.

[lightman]

Open up, mask down, and come as close as y’all feel comfortable.

I’m into barefaced hugging....

[semimojo]

Remove the word "emergency" from the approval
Remove the word "experimental" from the approval
Tell the vaccinated they don't need to wear masks
Tell the vaccinated they (mostly) won't catch COVID-19

These may all happen more quickly than people think.

For the first time the CDC has data and has acknowledged that vaccinated people don't contract, and therefore don't spread, the virus.

This was widely expected to be the case but until they actually got the study results they weren't going to say it was OK for vaccinated people to not wear masks in public.

Pfizer is preparing to apply for full FDA authorization, not just an EUA, as soon as they complete their trials on children. "Normal" FDA authorization could be in place by mid-summer, at least for Pfizer and probably the other vaccines soon thereafter.

[Mom MD]

Gov cuomo? is that you? (just kidding)

[lightman]

This was widely expected to be the case but until they actually got the study results they weren't going to say it was OK for vaccinated people to not wear masks in public.

They don't want the vaccinated newly star bellied Sneeches crowing "we've got stars now".

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strengt War is peace.
Orwellian double speak from PA’s acting secretary of scary eyebrows.
