Isn't this sad? Our country (and the planet) is getting so way out of control. Just get on with living and block out the fear mongering. FFS 🤬

You're not fooling me with the fear mongering. Unjabbed, unmasked, healthier than most because of it

More fear yay. Vaids sufferers should be concerned.

Masks do nothing to stop viruses. The holes in them are to big to stop anything. There’s not enough microns in the fabric

there’s also far too many ugly people walking around

Surely wearing a mask is good hygiene when it spreads when people cough or sneeze droplets which contain the bacteria.

Any excuse to vax people. It is the Transhumsnism Revolution

This is 100% bought on by the vaccine destroying immune systems.

Had a friend who cured strep without medicine. He used a butter knife and lemon juice. Not kidding. It worked.

More fear mongering because COVID and all the bs strained have lost momentum so let’s try another form of bull shit you his msm bs media all f lying and fear mongering so let’s try another angle like more bs

Where can i get my jab from? 🤣

This is honestly starting to get more and more funny.

Oh my God,ffs,do these people think everyone's a dum arse.Viruses of this nature don't just show up.

Why isn't there a lockdown?
