I meant duh, ME! I'd forgotten all about using that link. I'd totally forgotten there's ways around pay walls. As I slap my forehead 😒
No offense. I'm dense.
Thank YOU for reminding me. ✋️ 👐
10 years ago, I was cured of a progressively life-threatening disease.
My life was saved because of the wisdom of my physicians and an innovative medication researched, developed, & manufactured by Moderna. I am forever grateful.
I’m overwhelmed with anger at the cruelty of this administration
Someday, that diapered rat is gonna close his eyes & not wake up, and my one true wish is that it's via a disease caught directly from RFK Jr's ugly goddamned face. Frat boys are supposed to do time for stat rape & get DUI's, not run critical agencies.
America, STOP VOTING FOR KENNEDYS.
I don't, but far too many podunk talibangelical scrubs seem to think voting for a Kennedy is some adorable genuflect toward a golden age. Our finest died in their primes to gift us this choice & 34% of eligible voters didn't bother waddling into a voting booth to save their own republic.
Very true. I often fantasize about a group or organization of white hat hackers that can do exposé on Republican mistresses, wives and kids. They can remain anonymous, but get the info out there. A tall ask I do think. 🤔
The Republican plan is they want us dead to save the country $. Sickies like me-we've been reasoned out of existing & the poor haven't bought this new America, the rich OWN our futures now & they decided death, so.
Every early return to earth is $ not paid out & the foundation of EVERY RW POLICY. 🤨
LMAO. I will survive on spite alone. I know how to survive-I even did something crazy called TRIED not to get COVID & never did. Those aortic dissections COVID causes I had happen WITHOUT COVID so decided better safe than sorry was a worthy plan. Most people have 0 of the persistence that requires.😉
If you look at him, and you think about RFK's life, this is his crowning achievement of a lifetime of doing shit like sawing the heads off of dead whales in between heroin benders.
Healthcare and universities in this country really need to fucking put our feet down. This crazy shit is unacceptable.
If you click on the link in a laptop, immediately control a, then control C, Then open a word doc or notes and paste. it should have copied the whole article. But you have to do it fast.
This is freaking terrifying. We’re in big trouble if there’s a big outbreak that jumps to humans. It could take 6 months to a year to make vaccines here. If one didn’t know better one would think this Administration was deliberately KILLING PEOPLE OFF. I’ve only been saying this from the beginning.
Every single policy decision, from health to economy to tariffs, has been to make people poorer and sicker to thin the herd. It’s their long-term plan to divert money from Social Security and Medicaid (which every working American pays for) to the oligarchy.
How do these contracts actually work? Can the gov't or the other party pull out and cancel the contract at any time and without cause? Then what's the purpose of signing a contract?
Somebody definitely wants a new pandemic! I’m still trying to figure out who that would benefit… Maybe all the crooks that stole the recovery money the last time? Anybody know?
I can see it now. The next pandemic hits and the US is begging every other country for help.
But like covid, we will all have just enough for our own.
Bright side is Kushner won't be around to hoard what little you do have.
The Islamic Empire was a beacon of learning and science during the Middle Ages. Then fundamentalists came to power who thought that the only thing worth studying was the Quran. And their decline continues to this day. We’ve let fundamentalists who think the same about the Bible take over the US.
No vax needed, according to RFK. Just do lots of heroin, have a worm eat part of your brain, and you eat roadkill bear cubs and whale heads, and you'll be in perfect health.
I had every shot as soon as they came out and every booster except the last one. I’ve had Covid 5 times. Last one was symptom free. Only tested after returning from a trip and have grand kids. Dr said no need to boost. You just had it.
I am right there with you- hate shots but got all the covid and covid boosters. Finally got my 2nd shingles shot and now going for measles because of my age. Stay healthy!
TOKYO -- A new type of coronavirus vaccine administered nasally has proven effective when tested on animals, researchers at the University of Tokyo Pandemic Preparedness, Infection and Advanced Research Center (UTOPIA) have announced.
These people believe all you need to do is exercise, eat healthy foods and your immune system will fight off any virus. They also believe that anyone who dies or is seriously injured by a virus is simply unfit to live and should die anyway.
RFK, Jr. and Trump are saboteurs for Putin. Hollowing out our government, dividing the Electorate against each other and weakening our economy and the world's economy.
A medical bloodletting study has been commissioned by HHS. There is no question in RFKJr mind that illness stems from an imbalance of bodily fluids - aka humors. Bleeding a patient demonstrates natural medicine that doesn't fall back on scientific mumbo jumbo or require drug companies at all.
RFKJr. MUST resign!
He is incapable of performing his official duties because he has Delusional Disorder DSM-5 297.1 (F22).
If & when there is an H5N1 pandemic, this decision will cost 10s to 100s of thousands of lives if not more.
We’ll be like 3rd world countries were with the COVID-19 pandemic- begging for vaccines and getting whatever they can deliver- think China’s vax that was 50% effective.
They can turn around and give me one third of that and I'll resolve that within 60 days. They have tried to keep me off the market for years and I could have stopped the COVID 19 epidemic from the beginning, but we're coming now! www.mlfd-medtech-llc.com 😁
This administration wants to kill us. There, I said it. They have not done 1 thing that has made us healthy or safe. He’s nominated a resident not a licensed MD for surgeon general who sells quack science. Etc, etc.
This has to be one of the most disturbing vendettas Trump has - punishing the vaccine makers. Yeah let’s get caught flat-footed again and risk mass death or in the best case, global economic catastrophe.
And the insurance companies? I keep thinking it must be cheaper to allow a woman to get an abortion than bring her back from the brink of death.
Maybe they just raise our rates to pay for all this nuttiness??
I was wondering the same thing? This would affect Big Pharma's $$$. Then again, they are the 1% that probably doesn't give a $hit if the old, weak, sick and peasant class dies. RFK, Jr. is going to kill off all of us eventually.😖
Big Pharma still under the delusion that only Democrats do things that hurt their bottom line. “We’re sure the Trump administration will help us recoup our profits some other way. Right?……Right?”
"These guys came up to me -- big strong guys, straight out of central casting -- they came up to me with tears of blood hemorrhaging from their eyes, asking "Sir, why did you let this happen, sir?"
Just swell. Don't think germs give a damn about politics and who is 'in' and who is 'out'. We're heading down a road of needless sickness and death because this administration doesn't care.
I guess fucking Moderna would be smart to start using all that pak money they spend .. and either pressure the ones that are getting it or primary them and find people who will advocate for them…
Moderna's vaccine has kept me & my brother protected from COVID since it was first available. We don't need to start over and we certainly shouldn't permit a QUACK to cancel the contract to continue their work. They must be able to develop more of these vaccines for the future!
But in my case if I die of anything at all I want somebody to sharpen my femurs and stake all these motherfuckers in the chest where their hearts would be if they actually had them.
Holy sh*t, we won’t be protected from new current and new flu strains, current and NEW COVID strains, Measles, Polio, Plague when it comes again. They apparently just want us all to die or are they just too stupid to understand the scientific connections. Either is DEPLORABLE!
Is there a chance that one or more other countries could make contracts of their own with Moderna to make up for the lost revenue and allow the R & D to continue?
The strains of flu varies as it progresses around the world. Many countries develop their own specific vaccines, ours in Australia is developed based on what flu was prevalent in the nth hemisphere the previous winter.
When the bird flu strikes it will be reminiscent of the days of the black plague -
Bring out your dead!
And they won’t be asking for party affiliations!
They’re going to, of course. And then other countries - not the US - will be first in line for their life saving vaccines the next time we have a pandemic.

Can someone share the article 🙏
No offense. I'm dense.
Thank YOU for reminding me. ✋️ 👐
I'm not sure which the Republican party loves more: death or money.
My life was saved because of the wisdom of my physicians and an innovative medication researched, developed, & manufactured by Moderna. I am forever grateful.

America, STOP VOTING FOR KENNEDYS.

Didn’t get to see why the contract was cancelled. 🫤
The Party of Disease, Destruction, Deportation and Death.
People actually voted to die.
This isn't just some little blip, you are witnessing the mad emperor presiding over the end of the American empire.
Can karma please hurry up and kill all these Republican fascists who are trying to kill us first?
But like covid, we will all have just enough for our own.
Bright side is Kushner won't be around to hoard what little you do have.
Death is the only surefire preventive measure.
I will add that: They fail to realize the disease they're setting us up for could take them out, as well...
(And perhaps COVID wasn't the "Wuhan Flu" they made it out to be?)

This saves nothing, and risks everyone.
If they spend all that money on Moderna...
It's money lost to their grifting clawing greedy little filthy Schmeegle hands.
🤦♂️🤷♂️🫏🤡🖕🖕💩💩💩
I’m thinking a vaccication to Canada may be in order, I mean if you wanna live…

RFK Jr: We will decide who is allowed to get the vaccine...everybody not on the list, screw you

Guess what.
Do we need to pass the hat?
But in my case if I die of anything at all I want somebody to sharpen my femurs and stake all these motherfuckers in the chest where their hearts would be if they actually had them.
😬
(why is there no sarcastic Hitler emoji?)
Given the weak response to the regime, it seems the US public is generally okay with that.
Pathetic.
ignorant, stupid and venal.
I’ll get my medical advice from my physician and not from an asshole that drinks and eats from a toilet.
Bring out your dead!
And they won’t be asking for party affiliations!

Where prevention is “waste,”
science is “suspicious,”
and the next pandemic is just another business opportunity.
They’re not preparing to save lives.
They’re preparing to survive ours.

(I'm not defending the cut. I just don't know what the numbers look like.)
Did they really think this wouldn’t affect them?
Why does the American government hate the American people so much ?
