FYI vaccines are critical but they don’t prevent the spread of COVID. Getting vaccinated helps prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death but in order to prevent the SPREAD of COVID you need to wear a mask, test, improve ventilation, and stay home when sick

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️
