Comcast NBCUniversal previously launched "Plan Your Vaccine," a nationwide awareness campaign, website and tool that provides the latest news and information about when and where people can receive the COVID-19 vaccine. To date, the tool at the center of the campaign, PlanYourVaccine.com, has been visited 7 million times since its mid-February launch, helping many people navigate the complicated vaccine rollout process. Rooted in the gold-standard journalism of NBC News, the site lists over 20,000 confirmed vaccination locations around the country - it's one of the only national resources on the vaccine - and is highly interactive and can be personalized for the user and their loved ones to make their own plans in English, Spanish or Mandarin. Comcast NBCUniversal has also leveraged its considerable reach across all platforms and influential talent to generate awareness of the site and to encourage millions to "Plan Your Vaccine."
F these braindead communists.
All for a Virus with a 99.98% rate of Survival??? Why would you need a Vaccine for such a Virus?? What purpose would it serve? who benefits from everyone taking a vaccine for a virus with a 99,98% survival rate??
I wish them well.
I will not be participating.
Bathhouse Barry is a pro at receiving injections. And they can get Big Mike to demonstrate how to give one.
“That’s a man, baby!”
wow guess they sense they are losing steam and need to throw all they can at it. they will in the end fail to accomplish the full extent of their desired evil. God wins.
The hospital my wife works for has done multiple outreach efforts in the black community.
They have gotten tepid results. And yet the scratch their heads wondering why the cannot get vaccinations in the hood.
They don’t want any help. They want “something” for it. Stupid people dying is sad.
You have a nice day now.
As of now, the United States has posted 31,608,403 cases and 569,556 fatalities where the virus was at least one comorbidity on the death certificate. That’s 1.8% or a 98.2% case fatality rate. Or, with 330MM people in the US, that’s a 1-in-579 chance of dying, or the same chance of dying from a pedestrian incdent.
All they need is Micheal Jackson to sing We Are The World.
I’m more than willing to get a saline shot along with these dopes
If Joe, Barack, Michelle, Faith Hill etc are telling me I “should” do something, my gut tells me “no way!”
>>s and dispel concerns surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines,
How about dispelling the concerns about getting covid at the grocery store because someone may have touched a package and put it back on the shelf.
How about dispelling the concerns about getting covid outside in a park because someone was jogging around without wearing a mask.
>>Rooted in the gold-standard journalism of NBC News
Smells like bullstalin
Stands to reason, if these pukes are pushing it, it can’t be good
This is a great day.
These amazing folks have just returned from their trip in the time machine to twenty years in the future and are going to report back to us on the long term effects of the vaccine!

Mrna is a single stranded sequence of nucleotides. The protein spike it produces is not. It is mathematically impossible for it to produce without additional nucleotides. Where are they coming from.
