  1. You continue to make it seem like the vaccine is good. since the states are 80% vaccinated my theory is no matter what these viruses will continue to impact that population of vaccinated.

  2. Oh the irony of this is just plain idiotic. Biggest spreader if misinformation doing news on medical misinformation. WOW!

  3. Fun fact: the unvaccinated are still alive

  4. Misinformation like "the vaccine works"?

  5. It's literally a war against public health in America now. They're cutting every last bit of healthcare funding while at the same time misinformation all over the internet is literally convincing people that ANY form of healthcare is 'evil' & 'poison'. So, what, do people in America NOT want healthcare to even exist anymore? Sheesh.

  6. You know plants could actually cure a lot better natural plants like marijuana or cannabis growing up some in your in your mask if you get covid you'll open your spores of your nose will naturally take care of you I did to my next door neighbor and it's legal in my state I'm from AZ

  7. This is adversely affecting the stupid half of the country, no matter which side of this issue you are on. However, the wrong side is also further subject to the virus, so I don't see a problem.

  8. Take the vax it will help you get adverse effects and no guarantee it will save your life just phizer tryn to make more money off u

  9. Pfizer funds every mainstream media outlet, so if the media wants people to put their faith in the media regarding Pfizer's products, the media should stop taking Pfizer's money

  10. Still hear people denying vaccines are good. Idiots. Got all of mine, haven't been ill for 5 years. Team members at work are constantly sick.

  11. I thought we got rid of medical misinformation when faucci left.

  12. For everyone here who got this "vaccine", all I can say is it sucks to be you.

  13. Immigration Title 42 still in effect while Americans themselves are permitted to roam vax free.
    Got hypocrisy?

  14. It’s not misinformation that is leading to lower vaccine up take for measles, etc. it’s the massive screw ups by the cdc and every other public health agency during Covid. They’re responsible for more children with measles, whooping cough, etc because of the loss in trust by the general public. They’ve made a problem that was bad before Covid worse.

  15. I trust science and the facts. Simple research could deter all this misinformation but unfortunately nothing can cure stupid. On the bright side, all the idiots will die out first.

  16. The problem with the msm, they have become the bullhorn of the government instead of its watchdogs.

  17. “Safe and effective” is misinformation. It’s neither safe nor effective.. BECAUSE IT’S NOT EVEN A VACCINE 🤣🤣🤣🤡🌎

  18. The only misinformation is what I just watched.

  19. I follow CNN religiously. Best I can tell, I have covid, flu, and RSV. Basically, I'm a walking tripledemic. I probably won't survive until the end of the work day. If I do, I'll most likely die in a car crash, because the unvaxxed are bad drivers.

  20. You mean like the misinformation that the vaccinated DO NOT get covid? Mass Formation Psychosis.

  21. Misinformation is easy to debunk if you're honest…

  22. This is an appeal to the Muslim, Arab and African world. My friends America has never come to you with a begging bowl. My country is in very deep trouble. Look at what Biden's popularity was before this mid-term election. It was 37%, and both Democrat and Republican voters said the country was going the wrong way. That was 83% of both groups of voters. So take a moment to ponder at these evil, corrupt election results !!! Help the Republican party, and we promise you this. '' We will never interfere in your ever again''. Ask yourself this question. Why is Africa, Asia, and the Muslim world kept deliberately kept poor ???

  23. Call it selective pressure against stupid.
