When are we going to hear about "Phase 2" of the orange baboon's supposed physical? I believe they said it would be in February.

Of course I don't believe a thing they say, but just interested in any followup on this particular lie by the media.

By November 2014, just one month after Adams was appointed health commissioner, new HIV cases were being identified in Scott County. By January 2015, Pence and Adams had an outbreak on their hands.

But it took until April for Pence to authorize a temporary needle exchange to stem the rising HIV cases. Pence was morally opposed to needle exchanges, believing they encouraged drug use.

Adams at first had his own reservations.

“There are people who have real moral and ethical concerns about passing out needles to people with substance abuse problems,” Adams told The New York Times in 2016. “To be honest, I shared that sentiment.”

Addiction experts say the premise is flawed.

Yeah, not too swift, this one.

your Immune System will be weakened and you will be more vulnerable to Coronavirus?

It is March, though, so by now everyone should have had a Flu Shot for 5 months.

Especially since I react to flu shots, and have to depend on the herd immunity of others (I'm fine with other vaccinations, and do my share in being part of the herd)

The flu shot has no properties that will protect anyone from the Corvonavirus.

This statement is completely outrageous.

Dr. Fauci needs to get the message out that this is false information. He is the only person with any credibility.

If you haven't had your flu shot it wouldn't hurt to get it. Then it would be less likely you'll get a double whammy.

that it reduces the chance one will contract the flu, and thus remove it from the diagnostic equation. If someone has had the shot but still later show symptoms, it's more of a possibility they actually have CV and not the "usual" flu.

This administration's misinformation is a danger to the lives of us all, and it starts at the top. Chump has to learn to keep his ill-informed mouth shut. (Yeah, I know...fat chance.)
