Like we've covered a couple of weeks ago, the headlines are still coming out of, I don't

0:04.8

know what we're going to call it. I guess vaccine failure. Check out this headline. It was

0:08.1

Vermont a couple of weeks ago. Now it's all five states. COVID cases are surging in

0:12.7

the five most vaccinated states. Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts,

0:17.7

all seeing surges. If anybody decides to read that article, no reason given just stats.

0:23.1

Just, well, I don't know. Here's the stats and like, move along. LA County, we're seeing

0:27.9

that as well. This is what they're doing. You see the words mystery always when they don't

1:15.8

1:20.1

time frame. So instead of six months after your shots, they're saying now they're going

1:24.1

to have that UK's minimum gap for COVID booster jabs to be half to three months. They're

1:29.1

also saying a fourth booster dose for immunocompromised. So we got to look out for that too, my

1:34.9

match because we've been saying it right. We've been saying from the beginning and periods
