Obviously I wish Joe Biden well, but this is what he told me: "For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm." Nice, right?
You mean 0bamacare only made the situation worse, placing more power with insurance companies and large hospital conglomerate administrators. Who could have known this would be the result?
