What people are saying?

Paul Komierowski I have no problem with those refusing vaccination as long as they do not work where they increase the risk to others and, fundamentally, that they do not get any medical care if they contract this bloody virus or else they pay some other penalty.

MelanieJoy I honestly thought better of the Dutch, that they understood what was necessary to beat covid. But then I look at my extended family and realize “oh that’s where they get it from”. Too bad they couldn’t take after the German side a little more in this situation.
