Who believes the CDC now after COVID?
I suggest you do a little soul searching.

Arexvy…not Apexvy
Hello! I received my RSV today. My insurance (CenCal) / Medicaid approved it with a prior authorization.
Condolences
Did you have any side effects?
@@annecyle Not really just a sore arm.
do you get a free gift with every shot
The gift of health!
@@NFIDVideosi already have health.
I know you are being facetious, but, yes, you do. If you are at a grocery pharmacy, you get 10 percent off your groceries for every shot.
@@Jan96106of course you do 😂
@@NFIDVideos i already have that. No one was born with a vaccine deficiency.
Congratulations! I’ve thought a lot about you and Dr Shaffner over the last few years. Lynn Sliz
I- wow
😥 too many lives lost
I have received both Pfizer vaccines without incident.

Elisabeth and Ethan are pros. They medleyed some great Johnny Cash tunes and wrote new lyrics to deliver some crucial messages about how we can save ourselves and - at the same time - support our overburdened healthcare and frontline professionals. The duo, known as Songband, sings of inconvenience, illness, death, financial struggles, loneliness and other topics appropriate to this nightmarish year. Yet they perform with smiling enthusiasm - even humor - and it works. Please show this video to as many people as you can in honor of the healthcare and frontline workers it was made to celebrate, and in the process you'll be sharing the talents of these two versatile virtuosos, virtually.
Ethan Schaffner and Elizabeth King are great performers and their song is fantastic
Congratulations Dr. Heaton and thank you for your wonderful work!
This is amazing.
John F. Modlin, MD is one of my third cousins! Our common ancestor is Elias Modlin 1823-1864 who died in a civil war battle. He was stationed on the far end of the formation and when the retreat was sounded he didn't move out fast enough. He was fighting for the Union. I track down as many people as I can with the Modlin/Maudlin surname and it amazes me that they are all related. Well, I have to make an exception for a few folks with the Modlin name who came over from Poland. Otherwise, when I trace the Modlin/Maudlin people back, they all come from Pasquotank County, North Carolina and they are Quakers (who keep a good record of their members.) The Modlin/Maudlin family comes from England.
He looks sexy in a tuxedo.
He really has to be thanked for his work.
Natural
I hope that he lives to smile like this again! Who would you like to be in the fox hole with....You Doc!!! Keep fighting for us. We need someone who is not scared to say the truth and stand by it. Not say what's popular...but the absolute truth!!!
That was a great presentation
Doctor Anthony Fauci, the man, the myth, the legend!
.......And he is almost--are you ready--80.
