  2. who funded the coronavirus research … set it up … released it … to auswitz with them … !! …. family. together ..1942 …

  3. Of course there will be healtcare shortage. They dont get paid well and they are expected to work a lot of hours to help people in this pandemic.
    At a same time plumbers mechanics remodeling contractors truck drivers are using the shortage to overcharge their service and they say well if you want it I dont care in arrogant way.
    So you have somebody making money but when they are sick they need help for cheap

  4. People aren’t pretending. It’s just not everyone has the same life. Their are people who’s lives haven’t changed. Their are people who’s lives are still the same. Accept that their are people out their who do have better lives. You’re not in everyone’s life so you don’t know the joys in everyone’s life. You don’t know peoples lives but instead you’re so entitled to think you know everyone’s life but truly don’t .

  5. And more misinformation that is allowed to be spread everywhere without any accountability by the mainstream media to say that this is the unvax that is the problem which is 100% false, anyone with a brain and common sense can see that.

  6. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. There is no other intermediary. May Jesus Bless you, trust Him, give your life – and He will take care of it :pray Convert yourself and believe in the Gospel;

    I recommend checking the meaning of pharmacy from the Greek FARMAKEIA – literally the operation of medicine during the time of ancient Egypt or Assyria, Biblical translation as the full meaning of this term

  7. You won't shut things down or slow the spread, that's what happens. We are trying to not lockdown but the virus is going to force lock downs anyway but worse.
