One Republican Congressman says instead of sending stimulus checks to every qualifying American, direct payments should go to people who receive the coronavirus vaccine. “I hope the administration will look at that option because we actually buy something with our $1,400—and that’s herd immunity,” said Rep. Steve Stivers (R., Ohio) in an interview with Yahoo Finance Live. President Joe Biden has called for individual $1,400 payments in his $1.9 trillion relief plan—which some Republicans argue is too much and some progressives say is too little.

Can we please just get on with it and start a new party? I will never vote for a Republican again. I hate Republicans more than Democrats now.

Just give them 30 pieces of silver. I’m not sure there’s an amount of money I’d take. There’s a reason they want us to get that shot. Maybe someday we’ll find out what that is.

How about people who have had, and recovered from Covid-19 ? They are already carrying the antibodies to the virus.

Does anyone know where one can get their 'I got my vaccination shot' documents. Asking for a friend.

Reason #27.558 (this week) that the Republi-Can't Party is dead to me!!!
I officially became a "conservative independent" a couple of weeks ago. While I will never vote for a Demon-Rat for anything, I will continue to support solid conservative candidates even if they run as Republicans. But my donations will go directly to their campaigns. The Republi-Can't Party will never see another penny from me!!!! They didn't just stab President Trump in the back, they stabbed me and all of my fellow and sister voters in the back. It won't happen again!!!!!

How is getting a vaccine herd immunity? I was under the belief that the definition of herd immunity was gaining immunity from an illness by intermingling with others and over time the body develops antibodies that fight off the illness. Or something to that affect. Seems to me, locking down everything slows or eliminates herd immunity.

FYI - I’m still getting emails (although greatly reduced in number) from Ronna McDaniel and GOP.

The fact that they are so eager to fob this witches' brew on the public should raise suspicions about their motive, and the long term effects of this so-called "vaccine." If it's made from Pfizer, then it makes me doubly suspicious. There are competing vaccines being developed around the world and coming online. I want to learn a LOT more about them and their side effects before I'll let any of them in my body. I don't trust any of those people. And is that Bill Gates skulking about in the shadows?

As a retired ship's captain (cargo not cruise) I have for most all of my professional life carried what we call a yellow book. No big deal. It simply is a record of all the current vaccinations you have had and when. Measles, polio, yellow fever, about 15 others if I recall.
You need it with your passport to travel to South America, Africa, southeast Asia, and others. I am currently jabbed for about everything under the sun and when I get my COVID shot it will go in the book too. Your doc should be able to give you one.
