Need to publicize this
We’re assaulted with image after close-up image of bare arms and long needles. I flinch each time I see it. But I’ve now had both Pfizer vaccines, and I literally did not feel either one. Others report the same. We need to publicize this to people who are holding back. It does not hurt.
Hollow and pointless
So Biden is telling those that want to come here not to come, to stay where they are. How is that different from Trump refusing their admittance and sending them home? Either way, they are where they came from right? Going to or staying in their home country. No, because Biden’s words are hollow and pointless, because when they come anyway they get to stay. He thinks we should gladly take care of them all.
What a shame
I was in the first class of Daniel Webster Junior High in Waukegan. We were very proud of our school and it’s name. What a shame to change it now.
Credit the scientists
Neither Biden nor Trump actually deserve credit for the vaccines. The scientists who put the stuff together deserve all the credit. The companies that hire these scientists get the credit. And Trump gets zero credit for the speed at which the scientists were able to assemble, and then test their vaccines. The many scientists at the universities across America over the past couple of decades have created knowledge about the DNA of humans, animals, and viruses. Thus, with this newfound knowledge, it should no longer takes years to produce antidotes to new diseases. I suspect that time will continue to shrink on how long it takes to produce an antidote to whatever appears. The former president ordered 100 million doses of vaccine. The current president ordered 500 million. Buying vaccine is no big deal. Distributing it is a worthy process that seems to be going well under the current administration.

Take the politics out
Sen Hirono stated that most Americans agree with the background checks and, in the same sentence, says Republicans won’t pass legislation. Well, if we all agree, why hasn’t it passed? Because we as voters don’t count. It’s them and they’re agenda. Common sense says checks and waiting period. Take the political agenda out of it.
Step up
We don’t even have our own country under control with the COVID-19 virus, and thousands of illegal immigrants are pouring into our country to bring more deadly virus with them. What kind of an idiotic thing to allow. Our government needs to wake up and stop these people from entering our borders. All we do is take them in, give them a place to sleep, food to eat and we taxpayers pay the price. Let their own countries take care of their own problems. I’m sick of seeing this over and over again. Biden and Harris need to step up.
