  1. Shanghai's 25 million are Day 13 of an extended 9 Day Lock-down. New Zealand reached 500 Covid deaths yesterday.

    US HAS OVER 1 MILLION DEAD and 57 MILLION AMERICANS ARE STILL NOT VACCINATED AFTER 2 YEARS.

    Covid deaths: US 1,012,229 – UK 169,759 – Canada 38,044 – Australia 6,569 – China 4,638 – New Zealand 500 = 792,720.

    American parents protest at school meetings about? A: 188 school shootings in 10 years B: Masks.

  2. "Why is Covid in China Spreading Again? because the Covid factory in Taiwan hasn't been destroyed… that's why U.s + Nato is trying to protect Taiwan!!! ….. So,When will the justice Destroy FACTORI VIRUS in Taiwan ??? like destroy in ukraine ???… Go go go… Save The World!!!!"

  3. Fact: Florida is the Medicare fraud capital of the US.

  4. Unfortunately with this Plandemic and the Handing out of Billions of Dollars it has opened the Door to Opportunity for these type of Predators. I've heard of People who claimed they had a Business a couple of years ago on a Gov Website and received thousands of Dollars in Relief! And we wonder why we're going Broke ๐Ÿ˜ณ

  5. It is not a surprise that fraud abounds: the U.S. medical system has been designed for the profit takers and not for the health of patients.

  6. "Telemedicine Fraud Surges Amid Pandemic" so let's #ConvinceItForward

  7. And you are surprised? Lol really? Medicine has joined the other criminals. Look at CDC and NIH!

  8. Another great reason for public execution of those found guilty.

  9. Fraudsters making money off the fraud. Iโ€™ll allow itโ€ฆ

  10. No , I had to take down all of my videos or face further consequences.
    Don't worry about that.
    I know I was wrong.
    But you know an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
    Shock therapy. I had to do it , even though it was wrong .

  11. Inflation rate:
    2017 Tramp – 1.7%
    2018 Tramp – 1.65%
    2019 Tramp – 1.7%
    2020 Tramp – 1.4%
    2021 Biden – 14%
    2022 Biden – 14.9%

    Democrats that with a face?

  12. I had one legitimate telemedicine appointment and found it so unsatisfactory that I vowed there would not be a second one. If my doctors would not see me in person, I told them I would go to the ER instead. I have gotten in person appointments every time I needed one. I get all my medical care from one reputable research health care system. Not interested in anything else.

  13. Hunter biden is guilty of fraud too.

  14. Since comments are disabled for this impeachment video
    —-> https://youtu.be/k5g_hDincyQ
    Let's comment on it here! Watch it and share your thoughts below!

  15. Please DM me if you need with your HYPOCHONDRIA . I take Visa and Mastercard.

  16. The Healthcare industry is really terrible in terms of cybersecurity. Lot of private information get hacked because of the lack of personal expertise. It's not safe to give your info to any Healthcare facility because it's really easy to get hacked.

  17. Thanks for this warning. Ever since I retired and enrolled in S,S, / Medicare, I receive multiple calls from telemarketers wanting donations (mostly for police and firefighter organizations). But nothing like this. So many scams!

  18. Also, another way to dish out pain meds

  19. You must think I have boo boo the fool tattooed on my fore head .
    I am not going in to have any repair surgeries. I need abdominal hernia repair surgery, why so they can steal more organs from me.

  20. The PLOTITICIANS always find a way to scam people and the government, with their massive kleptocratic schemes.

  21. Covid is literally the weakest virus ever.

  22. I really like this woman !

  23. Almost every day I get to learn something like this that makes me feel the fool for working a full time job and keeping thing legal.

  24. For me, if I need a doctor's advice…..THEN I will go to the doctor in person! Why give crooks easy prey in the name of simple convenience? Just my two cents. =#

  25. Criminals will find any way they can to steal from you. Right now the biggest crime in the US is the stealing of Medical information

  26. Liberals will fraud their own grandmother..

  27. Unless it's a fireman offering to lead you from a burning building or a waitress offering to top up your coffee , for ANYTHING that's offered unsolicited just say no . Hang up , block number , close the door , delete , add to spam folder , toss it in the trash are the appropriate courses of action .

  28. 2 countries that are leading the way in this scam Russia , and India . In Russia it is not illegal to hack , and scam Other Countries . Do it to Russians and it's the death sentence . India doesn't have any laws protecting consumer rights at all . That is why so many corporations use India to handle their billing , tech support , etc . Corps claim immunity from the sub contractor's actions . They know full well what is going on , but as long as they get their cut they are fine with it .

  29. G. O. P. On. Snow. Train. ๐Ÿ‘ƒโ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€

  30. Because of economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money๐Ÿ’ฏ

  31. No. You let someone take advantage of you. These fools always blame someone else for them not having a brain.

  32. Were they able to get at least half of the millions back for the federal government? I hope so. Long prison sentences for the convicted people helps too.

  33. Why not use your intelligence for good? These are some smart criminals, just crazy!

  34. And this is why anti-vaxxers donโ€™t trust doctors anymore!

  35. Who answers a call you donโ€™t recognize?

  36. โ€œLife is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.โ€ George Floyd, 684 days sober. Liberalsโ€ฆ Say his name!

  37. What do you know about BLM? Why BLM get a lot of money? Donations? I donยดt believe that all American citizen are dumb that believe that this is true. BLM is being managed for people without not scrupulous and mainly believe that marxism ideology is ideal for Americans. For me, all them should be arrest for long years. Corruptos, disohonest and criminals.๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹
