Allison Beam, the temporary new face of the PA Department of Health. She's only the ACTING Secretary.

[lightman]

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

FReepmail me to be added to the list.

[Bulwyf]

Looks like a villain.

She suggested the accelerating pace of vaccination combined with continued use of preventions such as face masks and social distancing can enable Pennsylvania to weather the surge without a return to tighter restrictions.

Separation and suffocation aka "social distancing" and face masks ARE tight restrictions.

Especially on one's air intake.

[rktman]

WOW! Hey, at least they’re telling it how it is. No shot? Unpatriotic hater racis’.

[Jan_Sobieski]

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Yeah, because otherwise some fraction of one percent of the population will die, most of whom were in the process of dying already, or who will actually die from something else and their deaths will be blamed on COVID and your regrettable tendency to think with your head and not your TV.

This whole vaccination crusade smells to high heaven.

[HamiltonJay]

She’s an attorney. Has ZERO experience in health care at all

Even more inept than the cousin it who preceded her

[Flick Lives]

“How do we collectively partner on making sure folks understand that the facts and science are there, that the health and safety of our communities is reliant upon us getting vaccinated? And that the freedom that so many folks want, and the local control, will be facilitated best when we have the most folks vaccinated in the community,” Beam said.

Marxist / collectivist / authoritarian talk.

[JonPreston]

Ahhhh...F them and their vaccine.

One good thing about being old and retired is that there isn't a thing they can take from me that I give a much of a siht about.

[EEGator]

I don’t want to hear her talk.
She’s better seen and not heard.

[Qiviut]

The “jab” is being promoted in a way that it’s the key to ‘getting out of COVID jail’. The elderly in our area are jumping through all sorts of hoops to get their jabs .... desperate to see family & friends again. Those eyeball deep in fear porn are also acting the same way - we have also noticed that the first question, pretty much without fail, people are asking when they talk to you via phone or in person after a bit of an absence, is ‘have you gotten your vaccine yet’?

[Osage Orange]

Beam me up...AH.

[nonliberal]

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.

[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

[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.

[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!

[The Toll]

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

[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.
