Why Do Some People Do Not Believe in the Vaccine

Arya @yoalldudes (35037) • Philippines 20 Nov 20

While I was rejoicing here looking forward to a time when things will get back to some form of normalcy. I mean I can't even get outside of our province, to do so would be a pain. I am very sensitive and have a low pain threshold...

frankie2013 I do believe that Pfizer and the other pharmaceutical company whose name eludes me now have developed a vaccine so quickly because the COVID pandemic is worldwide. They just had to move their ass and get it ready and with a 95% accuracy. Here in Canada they...

Cats!

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 11 Nov 20

frankie2013 Yes you are right. Runt, my cat, is the king in his castle. He often goes to tap on somebody's arm. That person thinks he wants food or wants to go out. The person gets up and Runt nimbly jumps on the chair and makes himself comfortable. Everybody loses their...
