    In 1955… Most people personally knew someone aflicted with polio. They knew how bad it was

      In Appalachia, it was unlikely to not know someone on a vent or dead from Covid, yet…

        Fox News tells you not to believe your eyes, and conservatives trust Fox News more than their own eyes.

          I didn’t see anybody die of covid. 2 relatives died after getting the shot tho, of apparently unrelated cause.

          Tell me what to believe.

            Believe the mass graves and filled ERs.
