She goes on Rachel’s show and says you cannot get the virus if you get the shots & then has to retract that the next day. What kind of person would do and say that? All the time while she is saying this the CDC released it got over 9000 reports of Vax breakthroughs. The CDC says the numbers of breakthroughs is much higher because these were reported to CDC and most are not reported. So, let’s see - breakthroughs are rising, Indian variants that might evade vaccinedhave arrived in US - great time to all take off your masks
