Fact check:
mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).
This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.
Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.

This is a time when we need courage. Courage to stand up and be peaceful but loud. Make your voice heard...but not cross into violence. This is a time when your fears are real but you can't let them hold you back. Way too many people in positions of power are self muting. I'm not one of them.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.
Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”
Translation: No.
Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Stop listening to dinosaurs. Stop paying the consultants that got us here. Stop asking for money instead of telling us what you’re going to do to fight back. The DC bubble has never been more glaring to me than ever. People out here are absolutely pissed and scared. Figure that out fast!

If this ambush of President Zelensky was planned, it makes the behavior of Trump and Vance even more disgraceful. What democratic ally can ever trust a single word uttered by these despicable men who spit in the face of every American who fought and died to save our democratic nation?

In light of the disgraceful behavior by the president and vice president, every elected official, Republicans and Democrats alike, should step up to speak for freedom and the truth. If you're elected by the American people, you have some standing to try to save what can be saved of America's honor.
