HannahB It’s shocking that there are still adults who don’t understand how this vaccine works. Although, I suppose it’s not a surprise coming from someone who refers to it as a ‘jab’. Educate yourself.

Phil Cooley You traveled on a plane but that doesn’t mean you caught it on a plane. Planes are constantly refreshing the air, everybody wears a mask, they all face forward and people talk very little. You likely didn’t catch it on a plane.
