Mona Peterson says
EXACTLY WHAT WAS AN OPINION? EVERYTHING IN THIS REPORT WAS FACTS,NO OPINIONS WERE GIVEN… SORRY CAPS ARE BECAUSE OF EYESIGHT ISSUES. THIS WAS JUST A WEEKLY REPORT FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THAT’S ALL !!
Brian Borgelt says
Not a word on possible side affects, as is required for any other medication.
Does anyone else find that odd?
Mona Peterson says
SIDE EFFECTS OF WHAT? NOT ANY SPECIFIC MEDICINE NAMED,AND WHEN YOU DO SEE ONE NAMED, IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RESEARCH THE SIDE EFFECTS. SORRY,BUT CAPS ARE BECAUSE OF EYESIGHT ISSUES.

I am still waiting to see the numbers of vaccinated and non vaccinated being hospitalized or deaths. I know several Pierce county residents who are fully vaccinated and were in the hospital for weeks with covid19. So let’s expand to share this information I find it hard to believe that it’s only non vaccinated getting sick.
