Health officials worry nation not ready for COVID-19 vaccineAs the nation awaits a vaccine to end the pandemic, local health departments tell AP and KHNews they lack the staff, money and tools to distribute, administer and track millions of vaccines, most of which will require two doses. KHNews Hell there is no way I'm injecting anything into my body this administration has come up with. They have peddled lies from the start. I'd rather take my chances with getting the virus rather than having damaging side affects from a vaccine that was rushed to market. KHNews I'm not awaiting this vaccine from Bill Gates chocked full of New World Order agenda.....big pass KHNews And here I am worried about other things like - 1. how much will it cost. 2. will it be available for use in other countries. 3. if Trump loses, he might destroy the vaccine out of spite.
