So that's 18,777 more people have died from COVID than the number of voters he won by. Plus we're only 7,000 away from surpassing the total number of US miliarty killed in Vietnam.

Gotta love that personal choice agenda, especially when we're fighting an unseen enemy, known as COVID. Plus, I heard that a General Willey Coyote made a call to Moderna AND Pfizer, the enemy of our enemy...

I had my Moderna booster two weeks ago at the VA in Mulberry, no side effects at all. I also got my flu shot at Walgreens, along with the two Moderna shots back in Feb and March at Publix, I feel safe.

I guess not everyone who is not able to be vaccinated for medical reasons feels the need to protect themselves with a protective mask, so that is on them.

As a Vietnam veteran (disabled) I think there is not a comparison. That was a seven or eight year war. Most there who were in jungle combat were drafted and had no choice but to go.

In Vietnam millions were wounded, lost limbs and scared mentally for life at a very young age. Many today are dying from the spraying of Agent Orange and other chemicals.

If you got your booster at the VA, why didn't you get your flu shot there also? Just curious. I am kind of surprised that the VA would give a Moderna IF it has not been approved as a booster yet. Maybe they were given different information than the public.

To go to the VA is 11 miles up Buena Vista from my house, about 35 minutes each way. I can go to Walgreens with no appointment, usually I can get one right away without much wait. When I come home from MVP a few days a week, I go right by the Walgreens at Pinellas.
