There will be 500 cases soon if not already.
Some will die. If you are not vaccinated you could be one of them
You have today to get vaccinated That’s it.
Decision is yours
The vaccine allows for more people to choose life!
You can only receive the mark if you worship the devil/the Beast.
If you don't worship the beast, how will you get it?
Further to that, how does the vaccine, give you the mark on your hand and forehead, when its injected into your arm?
Why not other vaccines? How many have you taken in your life? How many have you allowed your children to take? Why not the food we eat which is genetically modified anyway and would be a better agent to kill us?
I am not sure I understand what you are saying.
God is watching and you are not showing the wisdom that He gave you.
The idiots who won’t vaccinate.
Don't wish death on anyone. You have no idea what's in store for you.
And what music do you want? The theme from Dumb and Dumber?
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
The rest of the world that is vaccinated are opening up. The countries with selfish , unvaccinated people are going backwards.
2. The U.K. uses the Astra Zeneca vaccine.
3. Conspiracy theories and YouTube nonsense are what’s killing people.
FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD IS OVER THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN UNTO THEIR PRAYERS: BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THEM THAT DO EVIL...AMEN!!!
Get vax’d!
If you are not vaccinated you may get it without symptoms but you will spread it quickly which means you could infect others who get very ill.
If you want to take both doses in July then you need to take your first dose by tomorrow and your second dose on the 31st. But if you miss the first timing you can still take your first dose anytime in July which offers some protection until the second dose is available.
Don’t wait to see people in hospital please go today and get vaccinated.
From 49 to 91
Rapidly.
The Delta variant is here. The other site has confirmed the test are being sent to T&T for testing against this variant because as usual, we don't have the facility, or money to test for it.
We don't have the money, to pay for rapid test and that is why the hospital is being overwhelmed, but we are talking a brunch of cow manure, instead of focusing on what counts.
I am vaccinated. Mine are vaccinated.
Good luck.
vaccinated or not we have to ask how did the virus come here.
Is it in fact because of vaccinated carriers bringing it in without quarantine?
All in all this is the most likely scenario and vaccinated persons do not wish to accept it or accept they can still carry & spread the virus.
They are actually the ones being careless selfish and reckless because they’ve been vaccinated.
Not to mention we are very silent on the adverse effects of the “vaccine” and the new technology that differentiates it from a traditional vaccine.
How many times Biden warning them ?
No where they ever say they can’t or won’t catch it.
That’s why they frighten.
Imagine taking an experimental vac then still catches and scared of catching it too soo it appears they don’t trust the vac cause I don’t see why they soo scared and they took both shots yet speak of the unvaccinated etc and making bubbles.
Even bullying the Vaxxers to take it yet they took and still scaredy cat
SMH .....
