Well it is up to 15 young people I know sick from the virus.

They go to very sick to a minor cases.

The ages are from 17 to about 35.


I fear it will get worse.

No shots for what ever reason.


Young people think they will never get sick.

who is anti vax. I let him have it last time I talked to him. I told him he’s endangering people he professes to care about and there’s no excuse for that other than selfishness.

He's obviously a selfish dipshit, and always will be.

Thanks for trying though.

His grandmother told him after I got done with him he needs his bottom paddled! She’s 85 so that’s he best she had. When he left the family gathering (outdoors) he tried to hug me and I told him I loved him but I don’t hug unvaccinated people. Him included. He’s a MAGAt just like his dad. I’m done being patient with these people.

They are all MAGAts, and most of them got sick with COVID a few months ago. Some of them are close to 80 so luckily no one died, but some are still not back to full health. I see them posting anti-vax stuff on Facebook all the time, it's really sad, I feel like I can't even talk to them anymore.

"up to 15 young people I know sick from the virus"

All currently ill, or since the beginning of the pandemic last year?

enough reproductive opportunities to optimize itself. Trump needs to be executed as a mass murderer because that's what he is.
