Exploring the Impact of COVID-19 Vaccines and Public Health Policy

Community Voice · Thu Oct 8, 2026

Good morning. Welcome to Community Voice. I'm your host, Keith Parris. And I'm feeling all kind of ways this morning. Okay, so they do a disclaimer. Now the old disclaimer said that the views and opinions expressed on this program are not that of the staff and management of WNOV. Now they go and be Pacific and say,

A key pair of Paris are his and his alone and are not necessarily those of this station or its advertiser So I'm trying to figure out what have I said is so controversial That the station This this program is being done on the protest

So this one is this one. The views and opinions of Michelle Bryant are hers and hers alone and are not necessarily those of this station or its advertisers. Yeah, do you need to get no bass player? No, no, no. I mean, hers is just like, oh. The views and opinions of Keith Harris are his and his alone and are not necessarily those of this station or its advertisers. No music, no nut. Just start. Just start. Amen.

Here's his real Catholic. Four one four. Four one four four five two five zero. Four one four four four five two five zero. What have I ever said? That this station could not embrace. Are you crazy? No. Are you crazy? I am not crazy. On a daily basis, I'm about to wreck my car and listen to stuff that you say.

I heard reasonable. I do not attach reasonable. I mean, you just think you so perfect. I am. What? Wait a minute. I'm so perfect. Yeah, you do. I heard, I heard, uh, uh.

I don't know everything. First of all, she didn't mean it. Carl, welcome to the program. She didn't mean it. Good morning. Good morning. I heard that one. Yeah. What's that? Hey, hey, keep it up now. Yeah. And what have I ever said that's been controversial that this station could not embrace?

You can be the double advocate every day. You can be the double advocate. You play that part. So when you play that part, you got to do the controversy, what come with it? Well, you would think that there would be no controversy. As long as you do what you got to do.

And somebody got to play it sometime. Everybody can't be on the same, on the same screen man. That's true. But hey, I have controversy with you sometimes, but we go there. Oh man, I just, you know. And we lay it out. But the thing is that if we didn't have that, we might not have as much of a show.

It's already about everything and nothing. And we put a real emphasis on nothing. Let me do a quick, I had an addition to the list yesterday. Hollywood Swinger. Hollywood Swinger. Yeah, okay. Alright man, let me get the next one.

call her. Welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. She stepped out for a second but she can hear you. Hey, y'all. Hey y'all. Hey y'all. And if I take your love and what's the telephone bill?

Oh boy. You coming to see me this weekend? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

Hey, what you doing? Hey, what you doing? Hey, what you doing?

Well, I'll tell you a couple things. You're constantly putting the black sheet over my chair, man.

That's one. Well, there's a lot of people. Yes, sir. If they got to explain it to you, it's going to be a two-hour program. All right, y'all. You should. You call and welcome to the program. That's it. I'm just trying to figure out calling God she.

Oh man. That's hilarious. Wow. Calling God she constantly putting the black sheet over my chair. Okay. You know what? Me calling God she is like Obama wearing the tan suit. Come on y'all. Yeah, but it just hit a different way. That tan suit obviously. That tan suit was cold. That tan suit. He was flies and fool in that suit. Oh man. And you know they were talking about one time he was

They thought he was chewing gum and he wasn't he was chewing a Nicarag. Really cuz Obama man. He was a Newport. He was a Newport Smoker man Yeah, so that Yeah, he was so what it's not prestigious to chew gum in the wild Yeah, people thought that wasn't you know being serious now if that's if that's not prestigious No, but listen, but if that's not prestigious a blunt

A blunt. But man, what this cat is doing now in the office is a disgrace. Wait a minute. It's a disgrace, man. It's a disgrace, man. Clean up again real quickly. Yesterday, I said that Milwaukee was the only dome stadium left. That's not true. Tampa Bay has a tropical kind of feel, is dome. So, in close. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's about Tampa Bay. Right. So, if you, you know, Dodgers get in, Tampa Bay get in, you don't have to worry about the weather.

Yeah, I'm talking about for the World Series. So Tampa Bay is going to play in the Chicago Water or Cleveland. Yeah. I hope they play Chicago. I hope they play Chicago. Well, Tampa Bay has been flying under the radar. I know, like the Brewers. I was talking to a guy last night when I was picking up food and I was saying, I have not been watching the American League because, you know, we're in the National League. So I noticed I said, we're in the National League. There you go jumping on the field. Call and welcome to the program. They fell off the boat. Okay.

Yeah, Hollywood Swinger. Yeah. So that makes it 36, 37. What do you mean? It was up to. As far as songs with cities and... Yeah, I don't know. Hollywood Swinger hit me. We got all about that one. Hollywood Swinger. Okay, let me man. And then it's so loud, it's not like...

You know, really even, you know, when he talk, he don't represent us. OK, I did say, you know, that when you're in college, you need to study politics. Yeah, you know, that was my major.

And I was having this conversation with a couple people but I just want to pick your brain about this. I just believe here comes the controversy and it is with Izzy. I believe I believe college is really the real jewel thieves bro and I'll tell you why because you spend all this money so it'll put you ahead in life but by the time you finish you behind the A-bar

Ain't you not even operating in the field that you went to school for? Yeah, and I think that that gets us back to remember we were talking about in the military right now There's a struggle and man, you know what man a Pete has said man. He's a punk man a real punk So I'll do that didn't answer your question. He he goes out. He He meets the sailors on the on the Lincoln. Yeah, that Abraham Lincoln. Yeah

But he wasn't because they actually docked today. He went out and met them at sea. He didn't want to be there with the families, you know, as they were getting off. I don't know if that was the day before or yesterday. So he gets in. But in the military right now, there's this whole for him anyway, this whole thing about Athens or Sparta. When you think about Athens, Athens is like educated, enlightened Greeks. Sparta is just military warriors. He wants to get to Sparta.

I think it's the same thing when it comes to education for an employer, what a degree indicates or college is that you're educable because most people going to an environment, they're going to be trained, right? Based on whatever you're doing, you know? So, yeah, unless I'm an engineer or something that's really, I use the term vocational, but if I'm just going in, let's say I'm going in to be a claims adjuster at all state, right?

Well, all state is going to train me. Right. Right. Right. You know, on how to be a claims adjuster. When I went and worked for Milwaukee County, starting off as the economic support, we were financial assistance workers and then they trained me on policy. Right. So my college, all it did was that it just showed I could read. Yeah. But, but, but if that's the case, then you would think about them asking you prior to your college education.

Did you graduate from high school? Do you have your GED? Because that right there shows you can read and write. Yeah, I just think it's context. I remember I was working for it. Well, I won't be real specific. I can't stop saying it. Real specific. But one of the managers was frustrated because they thought that some of the staff could not

Do certain contextual things in terms of how they did their service delivery? That's one of the things that when you go into When you go into college, I think if you go to college unless you're gonna be specific I'm going to be a mathematician. I'm going to be a doctor. I'm going to be and even if you're a lawyer, they tell you liberal arts, right? That is it's learning is education for its own sake. It's it's the joy of learning but why would

Why would they want you to be in so much debt that it takes you half Well, that's a whole different piece in terms of you know, it's always been a cost America began to began to say it was funny under under Ronald Reagan under the white Eisenhower They put an enormous amount of money into education

because we were doing the Cold War, competing with the Soviet Union. And we needed an educated workforce, especially when it came around areas of science, technology, engineering, and math, STEM. I put a lot of money into that. As we began to evolve more and more, Berlin Wall comes down under Bush, first Bush, right? Now it's not that important. And so here's the other piece.

You have a lower level of education of the workforce that can depress wages Okay, so you know if people have more degrees now again the economy also because you have something called Downward displacement that means that a person with a college degree depending on the economy can come in and display someone who normally would get that job without a college degree

Employers can be more selective, right? So I think if you go in you need to I would think that is just learning for its own sake. I heard something yesterday again I'm not training pedagogy pedagogy is teaching children, right? But they said that from Was it zero to three you learn how to read I was listening to a guy who's running for governor and then he said from three on

You read to learn. You learn how to read. Right, right, right, right. And then you read to learn. Yeah, that is true. Right? That is true. So, you know, but what do we do in terms of enlightenment? I don't know if it's Watertown where they won't let them do dirty dancing. Oh, for school? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I mean, in my mind, you expose kids.

To as much and look it should be age-appropriate in terms of what a child can absorb and clearly understand I push back on people who sit up and say because they might talk about LGBTQ that that's gonna make your child LGBTQ. That's not what drives that you know in terms of exposure, so I mean it's It can get a little murky

Again, when I was at brainstorming and they were having this conversation around education, as a matter of fact, one of the participants in that discussion that Roundtable is going to be on our program. There was me who was saying, well, you know, it's education for its own sake, but then for other people, it's like education because you got to eat. Now, it doesn't always translate like, for example, I could have a PhD.

And a guy is a plumber and that plumber could conceivably make more money than me as a PhD, depending on where I have my PhD at. So, you know, it really depends on where we're going. I think now people say college is not for everyone. I agree with that. That is true in terms of maybe a four year liberal arts education. But I do think that learning, I think that learning is important.

and learning is a lifetime journey. I don't think you get to the point where you say, I don't need to know that. And that sometimes, especially as we get older, we get so comfortable in our stuff that then we don't want to necessarily entertain any other idea because I've been doing this for so long. Now, I don't make it right just because I've been doing it for a long time, right? So for me, I'm always the stuff that you learn.

And again, I talk about, you know, just my natural curiosity. When I was a kid, I was naturally curious. You know, I mean, I one time I got my babysitter ended up Miss McKinley, Miss McKinley Clark would pray at noon. And they were putting they were building what is now 43. And I was I was so fascinated with the machines, you know, like this. And so I just sat there so I get home late.

get to her place late. She had prayer and then she whooped me. But it was. Well, she prayed the God and that woman could pray. Oh, man. Yeah, I mean, she could pray and then but I'm just, you know, I just always it was you couldn't sit me near window, you know, because I look outside and I'm just taking everything in now because.

was a good reader that also then went in so you know you go read and then here's something else my mother did and I don't think there was a whole thing was hey mom how do you spell and she said go look it up so learning how to look stuff up learning how that helped me in college when it came to doing research for papers because I go in man and then we had Michael Fisher right if I had to go and look at old newspaper articles so I don't know I think it depends I would like to

I'm reading a book right now by Raphael Warnock. He is the pastor Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Dr. King's opal pit and He's also you a senator from the state of Georgia and he he wrote a book called the divided mind of the black church and what he was talking about was part of the problem is there's the educated clergy formerly educated clergy and then the

other clergy that may or may not be as formally educated as some clergy where, you know, where they're at the Venetian school, master's level, no, PhD level. And there is a divide. There's a divide. As a matter of fact, there's an article kind of falls into this. There's an article from the Brookings Institute on how black people going to white congregations

are being disengaged from areas of politics, especially politics that might have impact on the lives of black folks. And folks, man, the comments where we're going on and on and on about those white churches. And what struck me was that maybe those people went to the white churches with a pre disposition to believe

what they are doing at those white churches, right? And I know socially, because when you get around the issue of abortion, when you get around the issue of LGBTQ, there are certainly certain Pentecostal movements, white Pentecostal movements are so adamant against that. But look, all skin, whether it's a scandal, may can all black folks.

don't necessarily see the world the same way as most black folks, if that makes sense, right? So yeah, they are gonna, if the majority of black folks are gonna vote against Donald Trump, trust me, there's gonna be some black folks who go and vote for Donald Trump. And some of these folks are true believers. You know, they're true believers. And so, I mean, I don't, so my, my whole response to the article was, I think those people already felt a certain way, right?

And there's the other piece of it is that if I can run away from black people That makes me less black if I don't know if that's a precise way of saying that because there is some internal racism that we carry and I heard someone say this the sister made the quote that All of us black folks are recovering from white supremacy, right? We all walk around with a certain level of

believing in the myth of white supremacy. All right, call a welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. Well, first thing I wanted to say with the education, you don't have to be the best, but always challenge yourself because you're constantly learning and you're never too old to learn, but you can go with time. But this is what we must understand. You have your independent thinkers.

who use logic. You have your co-dependent thinkers who go off somebody else, and you have your free spirit thinkers. And then you have some thinkers who are just down right off. They don't challenge nothing. It's like giving them a bag of bricks, and you hit them in the hip with it, and they say, well, where's the bricks at? Well, they were never in the bag.

Some people are just not like stupid. But when you are a free spirit and an independent thinker, you look at everything from both sides and can't nobody pull a sheet over your head. So when you look at people who might vote for Trump, those are the co-dependent thinkers. Those are the dumb thinkers. Those are the people who don't use logic. Those are the people who say, oh, it's the immigrants. It's the immigrants. But when you look at the great thing that's in the.

temper is somebody with the last thing a shower off. When you look at.

But you know, the Mexican, it's not the Mexican that moved in the neighborhood. It's your cousins that's bringing the neighborhood down. But you choose to live in denial because you know you don't have everything within you to make the cut. So instead of you dealing with the blame, you want to put your blame on somebody else because you just don't want to look in the mirror and know that you're lazy and you feel that raising your kids because you raised a lot of bastards and niggas. And then you look at the Mexican.

When we talk about that, how much of that is systemic? I mean, people growing up in an environment, and this is how they choose to adapt to their environment. But that's a question, but I want to roll back to something that you said, and I loved how you talked about the different types of thinkers, because at least you're thinking. I remember somebody asked me, they said, so.

What what what kind of preacher are you? I said one that reads and thinks I mean that that that I'm just using religion right now religion Does not absolve me from logic from reason right and from thinking You know and I think that that that is and then and not so much learn how to respect people but understand that everybody doesn't see the world the same way I do or Everybody didn't exist in the world the same way I did and so

Just being able to I agree though that there are people who always feel like you talk about them other ones You're not talking about me and the reality is yeah, that's why You can that you sort of the n-word That could be all 40 million of us depending on how it's used, you know, I'm saying so And I was gonna say a great example we can look at our black families, you know how they said we don't have no generation of wealth

whether you can look at some of these families where you've got one person in the family who got caregiver burnout. They're trying to do everything for mama, daddy, grandmama, but you've got the rest of the family that's quiet on the telephone because they think you're going to ask something of them that's not in their heart that they don't feel that anyway. But they can make it to church every Sunday. But then you have the one family member who made the sacrifices to make sure everybody is okay.

But then they cause you three, four times a year. And so you have these conversations that holds no value. And then when everybody's laying here with their cold feet, now everybody got their hands on, or they say, yeah, it's something I can do with me. I'm gonna extend the hand, but don't ask me. But then when everything go from sugar to sugar, honey, I see nobody's there to help. So we can use that as an example right there.

You know, just look at our Black families. Black families can have a whole lot of help, but people never want to help because everybody feel like they're too busy. But then when everything hits south, now everybody want to, you know, be proactive because the person is dead and they're spanking in the waves when they couldn't really help from the beginning and y'all could have retained their re-generation or well. So there you go. I appreciate you.

Have a good day. Let me do a couple quick announcements as we go to as we go to break on Saturday, October the 10th from 12 to 2 p.m. You can receive a free hot lunch and the supply of toiletries at the Greater Life Community Center. That's 2432 North Tatonia Avenue, condo number two. This building is just.

north of the Greater Galilee Missionary Baptist Church, the Free Hot Lunch in Toiletries. You can get these, get the Free Hot Lunch in Toiletries, why supplies last. This event is brought to you by the Gathering at the Crossroads. And again, that's this Saturday between 12 and 2, 2432 North Titonia Avenue at the Greater Life Center. If you want toiletries or a good hot lunch, you can also do that. And then let me also announce

that Miss Michelle Bryant will be at Zion Hill Church on Sunday as part of the whole Porter talk much. Oh, voter education outreach that they're doing. I thought she was going to say she was going to be the guest speaker. I was going to say, I got to come see this. I got to come see this. You're listening to Community Voice?

And you they should also include in that disclaimer ride out Again we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back Well that's the case I got something I want to say

We got callers Caller welcome to the program Hello, yeah, yeah They're trying to call in

Yeah Give me the other number they can call in. Okay Go on man You hear me man? Yep Okay, yeah, I couldn't hear you at first, but then I heard you saying call the other man Listen, I heard a caller called in a few minutes ago and he keeps going on me about the Mexican stuff like that

I mean, if this is when it becomes an issue, and I wanted to talk to Michelle about that too, because she's always talking about, you know, people of color. See, you have to really ask something. No, no. Hey, Mitch, I'm not even going to do this because I'm actually waiting on Congresswoman more to call in. Let me ask you a question. Do you believe hope? Do you believe in justice?

Of course. Does justice have a color? No, but it's been a perfect goal. Okay. And so if justice doesn't have a color, but we understand that maybe some people disproportionately impacted about how justice is executed. Okay. So what I'm saying is that when people, I think that that's the divide. I mean, for many, many years, people felt like, oh, it was the Mexicans who they benefited from what we did.

No, they had their own struggle. Can I say something before you call, before Congress lady Moore comes on? Let me just read this right quick real quick. Because the 19, and because the National Relations Act of 1790 restricted U.S. citizens strictly to free, was strictly to free.

white persons. The federal government had to recognize Mexicans as legal white, so they could automatically transmit, I mean, via transmit into U.S. Okay, all right, man. Hold on one, hold on one, hold on one. I can keep going. I can make it, hold on one. Good morning, Congresswoman Gwynne Moore. How are you?

Thank you. Good. Good. Well, welcome. Welcome back. Welcome back. Are you all currently out for the election recess? Yes, we are. I hope that everybody who's out for re-election, all 435 in the House are up for re-election.

We have a speaker because you're breaking up a little bit and we want to be able to hear you. Okay, get off speaker. Okay, you're off speaker. All right. So nobody in my, nobody in my bedroom can now hear what we're saying. Okay. Listen, nobody here, nobody's here, but go on. Is that okay? Yes, it's just the tens of listeners out there.

Okay, so I think we got a lot to talk about today, Keith. There's an election, of course, November 3rd, and early vote starts October 20th. Melon ballots have already been mailed out. Yep, yep, yep. And there are three amendments, constitutional amendments on the ballot. We can discuss them.

You know, people can get the short version of this or the long version of this. The short version is no to amendment one, no to amendment two, and no to amendment number three. Please don't leave it blank. Vote no. These are Republicans who have, you know, their tricky way of trying to limit once again what black people can do and what

Democrats can do with regard to having power. And so hopefully, if we have time, we can go through that. First would suspend, you know, it's worship during emergency amendments. They don't want, they want to change the Wisconsin constitution so that the government cannot shut down churches.

during COVID. And of course, we saw a lot of people die because they worshiped and then spread COVID. So it's a tricky language, you know, where they say, you know, so, you know, no temporary orders to close. That's what that person would do. And the second one,

Before you move on, before you move on from that, are there instances where the government, and now we talk about the impact it has on the collective, has to write and somewhat even say the responsibility to step in, especially when we start talking about spread of communicable diseases and then airborne communicable diseases and then people find themselves in that space.

Do you think that this was an appeal to the religious right? Exactly. Of course it is. Of course. And people who did not want to wear masks and, you know, people who, you know, reacted very violently to being told what to do. And yeah, it's the religious right and it's the right wing period.

And COVID was, you know, COVID deniers, people who wanna prosecute Mr. Fauci, who did some of this research, yeah, this is the amendment for them. And I think it's also this whole question of the debate on fact and faith, right? Right, exactly.

You know, God does not expect, God also created doctors and researchers and stuff too. And, you know, there shouldn't be any debate about public health. I noticed even the Jehovah's Witnesses stepping back from, you can't take blood anymore. I mean, this is a health and safety precaution. And it is the government's responsibility.

to really make these kinds of interventions, just like it's the government's, I think, responsibility to require kids have vaccinations before they go to school so that they don't infect other children. It measles. It is deadly. And the right wing, and of course, people like Robert Kennedy Jr.

are on the other side of this. So this amendment was inspired by that whole white wing movement. And they're using churches to be able to put the camel's nose in its tent to disallow the government to be able to do public safety, public health safety stuff.

What about the, as we move, the non-discrimination change to the Constitution? That would be amendment number three. That's the one where it says it would add language to the Wisconsin Constitution prohibiting state or local governments from granting preferential treatment. And look at the words they use, or discriminating.

based on race, sex, ethnicity, and national orange in public employment, education, administration, or government contracting. In other words, no most set aside for minority contractors, no more DEI. This is the anti-DEI amendment. The answer is no. And I know that it's tricky language because it's triggering language. Nobody, you know,

Nobody wants to see the words discriminate, you know or preference or preference, right? You know and so This would put it in the Constitution. It's already illegal to do this but this would double and quadruple down on it so as to lock it in in perpetuity that they could never be an educational opportunity

or contracting opportunity, hiring decisions. This would affect even the private sector. So Northwestern Mutual wouldn't be able to say, we're looking for African-American or Hispanic agents because we want to expand our customer base. No, they wouldn't be able to do it. It would discriminate against everybody being able to say, hey,

We want to make sure we have representation So that's number three number two it would end the governor's partial veto and they're mad because Governor Evers was able to get 400 years of funding for public education. It's a power that governors have In whose state it was cast of the partial veto. It's called the ban of white veto and it enables

And Scott Walker, Republicans have used it profusely. And now that Governor Evers is in there, they want to shut down that ability. And of course, if David Crowley were to succeed Governor Evers, then that would be a power that would be shut now. So the answer to amendment number one,

regarding the worship during emergency. No. Number two, eliminating the governor's partial veto amendment. No. And amendment number three, the preferential treatment or discrimination amendment. No. And do not skip them. Do not skip them. No, no, and no. But of course, in order to vote on any of these, you got to go vote.

And so, if you want to vote, of course, anybody could just one word, myvote.wi.gov to register to vote or to check your registration to vote. And of course, since they have all tried to keep us from voting, everybody should check to see if they're registered because

You know, all kind of funny stuff, you know, you know, I know they purged a million people off the roads in Texas. I don't know that they've done that here, but if you need to move, you need to re-register to vote. You need your photo ID, your driver's license, or your state ID, but you can also bring like a hunting license.

Your bank account records with your name and address in on it Your refund check from the IRS Maybe that that But you should be just be prepared electric bill and everybody got an electric bill So phone bill with your name and address on it

your checkbook, you know, so be prepared when you go to the polls. This ain't no game this time. No, this is to register to vote. Yeah, and so early vote starts the 20th of October, I believe. And of course, oh, by the way, oh, by the way, since we're talking about vote,

Guess who endorsed David Crowley for governor recently The one The one Obama put out a video saying that David was had a very serious had a very He has a background very similar to Obama and and then he

totally completely enforces it. That's really very exciting. David Crowley, Obama has endorsed him. And I think today, Governor Westmore is coming to Milwaukee to support David Crowley. Let me ask you, if I may, a political science question. In a state like Wisconsin where there are not a lot of independence,

How important is turnout to either party? Turnout is everything because You know, here's a state that is basically 5050 and the small sliver of people who truly are Independence really do determine the outcome of the race. It's the independence who determine it, but it's also the the

The voters who vote infrequently, for example, all those people who only were Democrats or Republicans, but they only vote during the presidential year. Those people will matter a lot if they were to show up. We need a presidential turnout. A lot of it has to do with the amount of money and advertising and stuff that's being spent.

You know the difference between the presidential and A General election I'll give you an example Republicans have been able to Forbid the city of Milwaukee and the state from taking any money from non-profit organizations To do the simple things that they used to do like putting You know yard signs

uh in the in the in um uh saying today you know today is election day vote they're allowing they're just allowing that connection that nexus between the city and state and voters simple things like that some people who were moved and and so the candidates don't necessarily have their name and address correctly they won't receive mail those people

the people that you know who were young and have never voted those people will be critical and so what uh you know erica crawley david crawley's wife is asking is that everybody get at least five people who you know will not be able to vote unless you help them do it there are people in the nursing home who are fully capable

a voting. But they need your intervention to make sure you check with the facility and make sure that they get an absentee ballot. The absentee ballot is a thing. When you have information there, I think you can ask for an absentee ballot up until... Go to mindvote.wi. You might still have time to ask for an absentee ballot.

Yeah, I think we do. All right. Well, it's important that we vote. It's important that we register to vote. I think it's important also that we understand the issues that we're voting on and what we're voting about. So we really appreciate that. Anything else you want to share with us this morning? Yeah, it's flu season. Oh, man. Got my flu shot. Yeah, flu shot and COVID shot. Most insurance will pay for it.

In their 200,000, I think free shots being given by between Walgreens and CVS, you could call up and make an appointment. Some let you just walk in, but I would call. It's really important as we opened up our comments about the importance of allowing public health to do what public health does, keep us all safe and healthy.

So people should try to get their flu shot and their COVID shot. And you could probably get a free. There are lots of ways the drugster can tell you how to do it and get the Rx. You can have your own insurance. You'll get some kind of receipt or go on your record.

So, you know, you know, you got it. So, go do that. All right. Appreciate you. Congresswoman Gwen Moore. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're listening to Community Voice. We're going to take a break and we'll be right back. All right. Welcome back to Community Voice and I'll go back in the chat.

Welcome back. Welcome back. Let's see. Someone said I got my shots Tuesday afternoon, both flu and COVID. A lot of people I know aren't taking the shots. Can I tell y'all a story? Well, I'm going to tell you. White people's ice is colder. So when the COVID vaccine was first made available to people, go and get shots.

And because of all the conspiracies that surrounded black folks in health care. We put a tracker in you. Yeah, all those things. So you know what I did, Clark? I went to where the white people got their COVID shot. I got the good shot. I got the good stuff.

He got the blue magic. He got the blue magic. Just in case you thought that there was a difference.

because it was the Johnson and Johnson one. Yeah, but it wasn't like they did one. And so if you get yours at North Division, send them this ship, but then if you get yours at Reagan, send them this one. But I don't know, Keith, because my pushback is, why was it that they was giving black people the Johnson and Johnson one, and they was giving all of the... It depended on where you... No, no, no, it depended on where you got your shot, and you had an option.

Right. So that's what I'm saying. Look at the demographic. Right. But see, that was the whole piece where people need to do their due diligence, because what we discovered was Moderna was more effective than Johnson and Johnson. Right. So they stopped making the Johnson and Johnson, but that's the woman that they was giving all of the black. Not all of the black. A lot of white folks are that age. No, no, no, seriously. Man, look at the difference. You just said it.

You just say it depends on the way you was getting it from. Look at the demograph of it. The whole the whole demograph of it in that area, man, they was given the black. Now do a poll, Keith. How do people call in the acts? How many of y'all got the Johnson and Johnson shot? Yeah. Ask him. Ask him. Ask him, man. I'm telling you, look at the demograph of it. They didn't know which one they got. Oh, they know what they knew. No, we didn't know.

But the people that was given it knew. But the one that Johnson Johnson when the fake is the one the one the Johnson Johnson was the one that was causing blood clots. That was the one. And it was a different and they use a different technology for the Moderna. Yeah, so that image. Why would you you listen if the whole objective is to find something to cure this thing? Why would you remember that we had never

That's part of the trial. I get it and and and then because we didn't do we The normal trial period, which is usually one to two years Right, that's normally how they go in they test the drug. It's one to two years But under Trump operation warp speed They went out so then what they found out was there was one that was more effective than the other right we found that out in real time right The people then had the option

Then they go in and get the other one, but I know yeah, but you got where I was but you got to look at Now both I understand both of these things was experiment. They was trying to figure it out, right? But however, you're not gonna use me as a guinea pig

Now I got blood clocks. I got all these situations and stuff going on. But I didn't have at first. But there's a certain level of trial and error even when you go with your doctor. They use a monkey. I'm just saying. A monkey don't pay no bills. They don't pay no taxes. Use an elephant. I mean, why would you want to? No, but what I'm saying is if you go to your doctor to be treated for blood pressure and you're a black male, it's going to be a bit of trial and error.

because the normal blood pressure dosage is based on white males. I don't know if you remember, what was it, all of us? Where all of us was going and one of the things they were doing, which I was really a little distrustful for, now they're not paying us. I was a little distrustful, let my DNA be any place. I think my DNA is around here enough. But to...

That that became this whole thing of where it was more precision medicine like they do it for white males and That whole specific genetic makeup of white males is not taken into account white females black females Asian males Asian females so Part of his trial and error like if I if I go in with my doctor he or she might prescribe a certain dosage Find out based on some other things. Okay. I need to go in and change that so there's always a certain level

of trial and error when you go in and you do treatment. But gotta remember, we're doing this in real time. We were just talking about, I was telling Jermaine about a funeral mass Saturday, one of my former classmates. Now, he died in August. They're doing the mass in October, but we got to talk about COVID. And remember, there were some people, man, they sat in that freezer for a month and a half, right? Because the funeral homes had this thing about, what was it, 14 days?

You know, and so, you know, you you had to sit there and those bodies had so I think in real time Real time it was it was different, but I think once people began to you know, the Johnson and Johnson came off of this Madonna and it was the other one. There was another there was another one. So, so how many people died? There was some people had blood yeah, but it was and again, I'm gonna say this one is too many

I argue with Meach about this, I argue with Keon about this, but when you look at it statistically, and that's what you have to look at, it was like something that Brenda said on Tuesday, there is nothing that's 100%. There are gonna be some folks who might have a very different reaction than the whole general population.

Sometimes the collateral damage is that some people will die, but then you have to look at it in terms of one. What was the percentage of people who died or had serious complications because of the medication as opposed to the people who died who didn't even take the medication, right? So we had people, especially in the South and rural areas because you know, you ain't got number of times. So conspiracies become your life. So, so question. Just like these.

commercials. Say, and I'm just going to use this as an example. Say you're having trouble, you know, with your eyesight, right? And the doctor say, okay, here you can take this, you know, whatever it is, take this and it's going to help you with your sight. But the fine print is diarrhea, your toes going to fall off. You might die. All of this other stuff that is written small that you can't see. But these are the underlying

issues that can happen to you. And seeing by law now, they have to let you know when they're doing the advertising. Right. What the risks are. That's why they say it so fast. Right. What the risks are because it, depending on what you're taking, I mean, and I would say that most medication, there could be some side effects, right? But wouldn't you take it though? It's the question. It depends. You take it. Yes or no?

Yes, and no the woods you take it if the side effects is your toes gonna fall off diarrhea You can die all this other stuff that they say that I could die I'm probably gonna be a little skeptical in terms of taking it But then I also have to take in to now. What's the actuary on that? What is percentage of people who actually have these side effects because What I what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say well the vast majority of people

overwhelming majority of people do not have these side effects. Now, if I'm the one that just gets the side effect, see you all in glory, huh? Black Shroud. He was the only one. He was the only one.

you know, it's like, but you know, and everything is a risk. There's nothing out here that does not have some level of risk. It'd be very, very, very low. It's like driving to work every day, right? There's a risk. I just drove past an accident all the way in. So there's a risk that that can happen. So the question becomes, is what I need to do, and I'm just going to say, you know what?

I factor in the risk, but chances are I won't get in an accident, though, then that's when I get hit. Carl, welcome to the program. Good morning. Hey, what's up, y'all? What's happening? Jermaine, if you're concerned about that kind of stuff, you can always speak to your doctor about that, not where all the side effects it is. And then when you go to your pharmacist, he can explain that to you also. See, but this is the problem, George.

But you like like keep it had keep it explained to you You're gonna die from something I'm gonna be silly at the same time and I'm getting rocket brother You say you were in the world But I have been I've been redeemed but you were probably doing drugs right bought with a prize

And did you think about all that stuff when he was doing the drugs? Yeah, I've been redeemed because of that. I guess you're not hearing what I'm saying. I am hearing what you're saying. I didn't do drugs. Let me ask this question. If I'm being treated for cancer and they're going to give me chemo, chemo has shown to be effective, but I could lose my hair. I could have some. Right. Do I not take the chemo because I could possibly lose my hair?

Well, I mean, do you got to look at your options? And then at the same time, Keith, you can develop stuff from the team or radiation that could take you out to down the line. So I guess my point that I'm trying to make, we can make excuses for what we don't want to do. But I would recommend, but everybody's got their choices, right? We are grown and we can make our choices, right? But for some things, Jermaine, don't.

I mean, sometimes we can overthink things to the point. Because Tori asked me one day, he was like, I was like, you know, because at first I was a little skeptical about the shot, right? The COVID-19 shot, you know, am I going to go a third here or a third? And I'm like, why are you thinking like that, you know? The way people were dying from COVID, because we had underlying, underlying.

then though you didn't die from COVID, though you died from your underlying issue. You died because of COVID. But it was your underlying issue that took you out. COVID didn't do it. But until you got COVID, you had not died from your underlying issue. But your underlying issue, it was going to kill you. No, no. But you had not died from your underlying condition. I get it. But once you got COVID, it sped it up. Right. So you died from your underlying condition. So the shot was to slow it down.

the point I'm trying to make is that you know we can make excuses for what we want to do and what we don't want to do brother I'm just saying it's not excuses brother it's not some things you something okay if you don't want to use the word excuse we can use another word but I guess some things that I'm just trying to say Jermaine okay because me and you okay and I hope you don't mind me saying this could be because you you said it one day or on on TV yeah I mean on the radio

We both, we both went through prostate cancer. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Yes, sir. We just went, we just went different things. You didn't want to die from that, did you? No, I mean, okay, so you died from it. And there could have been some side effects in the treatment. No, I didn't have treatment. I went and took the surgery. I took the surgery route. Right. But you could have had, you could have gotten an infection from the surgery. Right. So when they put you under, under that stuff, you could have died. Right. So it ain't, it ain't the prostate that would have did.

the damage, it would have been the anesthesia, it would have been everything else. But it was the treatment. It was the treatment. But it was the treatment. To get it to end up what we're trying to tell you, Jermaine. But you know what, Jermaine, I know when we think we right, we gonna push back on it. No, that's not it, George. It's not that I'm thinking that I'm right to what I'm saying is, I'm right. No, I sat back and watched everybody like, okay, prime example. We've been watching basketball for years, over 30, 40 years, right?

How many times have you noticed? How many times have you ever heard of any basketball player getting the blood clot during the season? Never. No, that's not true. Who was it? That's not true. Who was it? God, usually, because blood clots will happen after God comes. I don't know what they got to do every week. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. Because depending on your surgery, and that's why we've gotten to the point where, but what I'm saying is that there were

Who was, wasn't Yana sat down? Because of the shot. He took the shot. He had blood clots. And that was the injury. That's why the clots came home. No, because of the injury. Listen, Daniel Lillard. Daniel Lillard had Achilles' tear. Right. Him coming back from there, he ended up getting the blood clot. How many people have had Achilles' tear in the year, in the seasons that we have watched that have never done with? Blood clots. I don't know if you've ever been hospitalized. Yes, I have. Okay. One of the things they give you.

constantly are blood thinned. No, sir. I didn't get blood thinned. Because when I had, oh, listen, you should have and you probably didn't know. No. When I, when I had the stroke and I had a mild stroke, right? Right. I was in the hospital for two days, three days every day. I got a shot to prevent me from getting blood clots. But that's that is one of the things that go along with surgery, right? That's what strokes is.

A stroke is your blood, it's a blood clot in the brain. It could be. That's what it is. But what I'm telling you is, man, that after surgery, most people get blood thinners. Listen, I'm a because of blood clots. But let me tell you my experience. Okay, but your experience. I get it. Universal. I get it. But you just asked me a question. Yeah. You just asked me. Did I? But the danger, the danger is saying that what my experience is.

where the overwhelming data says something else. No, but you just said that most people have surgery and they do not get blood clots. But some do. Right. But you just said, because I said they didn't give me blood thinners. You just said out of your mouth that they should have. So that. No, I didn't say they should have. Yes, you did. No, I didn't. Man, I can rewrite it safe. You just said it. I didn't say they should have. You said they should have given it to me. No, no, I immediately went into what happened to me. But I was talking about what happened to me. OK.

Call her up to the program. Hello. Good morning. Wait, let me turn my bridge off. Okay, Jermaine, it's time for you to start swimming back to Cuba. Why I gotta go back to Cuba? Because you don't want to take the shot. You ain't taking the shot.

Somebody gotta listen to the testimony. I can say how great y'all been. Listen, blood sentence when y'all, like he said, listen to some time. When y'all arteries clogged up. My arteries have never clogged up. Blood. That's what caused you. I get it. So this is what I'm saying. Keith just said, in his situation, they gave, hold on, hold on. Because let me finish. Let me say it. Let me say it. What happened was,

What happened was, with the shots, it caused blood clots. That's what I'm saying. For some people. That's what I'm saying. The overwhelming people, it did not. But again, for some, it did. If I have one out of 100, 99 didn't. It's still too much. Especially that we didn't have it before you took the shot. Now you have to get into statistical variance. But what I'm saying is, it puts you on blood thinner.

You're going to be a blood that is for the rest of your life. So that's not true. Well, I mean, I know people that are based on their conditions. Exactly. My point that I'm saying, but everybody isn't. I get it. So my point is this key. Why would I want to deal with blood clots? And I've never done dealt with these before until I took the shot. I will take the risk because they can treat the blood clot. But if I have another malice.

That's far worse than the blood clot. The blood clot is just part of doing business. But if you take the shot, it can cause other underlying issues. Any treatment.

Any treatment can cause another underline because you're putting something in your body, or you're doing something to your body that's foreign to your body. And your body is reacting, but people's bodies, based on our own unique DNA chemistry, react can react differently. That's all I'm saying. But what I'm saying, if you still have to answer my question, if you're gonna say, look, I refuse treatment because I can get blood clots. Okay. Your, your, your choice. Your call.

I knew there was a buddy of mine. He went in for and this was back in the 80s. He went in for a killing surgery and you know what he died from? A blood clot. Right, because that's a byproduct of surgery. Listen, I get that. But what I'm saying is he had the surgery and through the surgery, it caused the blood clot because he had a surgery which did something to his blood. Me taking a shot and getting the blood clot. I didn't have a surgery. I took the shot. Okay. The vast majority of people who got the COVID.

that scene did not have blood clots. But the people that got the Johnson and Johnson, it was a high percentage of people. They had a higher percentage. But that's what I said. But even the overwhelming number of people who did the Johnson and Johnson did not get blood clots. No, look up the percentage of people that got the blood clot that was on the Johnson and Johnson. All are welcome to the program. Look it up, Keith. Good morning. That's why they pulled it all the market. Thank you. And Pfizer was the third one. Thank you. Pfizer, Pfizer. Good morning.

Good morning. This is Rick from Germany. Good morning, Rick. Good morning, Rick. I just want to say that the Americans, the Europeans and the Israelis put that flu out there and then offered the vaccine. So we're all guinea pigs. Look, man, Rick, we all been guinea pigs since the beginning of the time when it comes to medicine.

That's how you that and there's always a risk that you're going to have some collateral loss based on treatment. So now you have to think about the overwhelming. So if one person gets it, that means nobody should ever take it with 99 people who took it didn't get it. I mean, so if they didn't have it before. I took one of the vaccines, but I didn't follow up with the boosters and I got my kids.

out of America because I didn't want them experimented on in the American medical system as children, as young adults, or as seniors. All right. Here you go. Yeah. So that's why they pulled it off of the market because too many people was getting blood. All right. Here we go. No, no, no.

The number of people who develop blood clots from a COVID-19 vaccine depends heavily on the specific type of vaccine, but overall, the condition is extremely rare. The most notable and severe link involved Johnson and Johnson, JJ and Janssen, the adenoviral vector vaccine, which caused a specific blood clotting situation called trabosis, and I'm not even gonna do that, at a rate of roughly four cases.

per million doses. Okay. Four cases per million doses given, or about 0.004%. Because of this risk, agencies like the FDA and CDC recommended other vaccines, and the J&J vaccine is no longer available in the United States. A similar adenovirus,

vaccine AstraZeneca showed a completely rare risk globally, estimated at roughly one to two cases per 100,000 doses, depending on the age and group region. For the widely used mRNA vaccines as Pfizer, Biotech, and Moderna, the large-scale safety monitoring indicates the risk of blood clots is exceptionally low, with some studies tracking isolated increase in certain types of blood clots, though they remain statistically rare.

Okay. I met my daughter, she was going to the doctor. She was real sick and she didn't know what she had. So they sent her home and come to find out the same system that they started talking about the COVID is what she had and they didn't know how to treat it. They just thought it was like a flu or something. So for her to go home.

after she found out, yeah, she had to go get that shot because she didn't know because she said that pain. That was she had. She thought she was going to die. And my daughter, she was over. She's overweight. So just, you know, is she diabetic? No, she not that bad. Yeah. And again, it just talks about the risks. And that's why they took the Johnson Johnson off. But even then Johnson and Johnson was four cases per million people. Yeah. And they rushed that.

Yeah, both of them were rushed. Right. Like I said, normally trial period could be two years, three years depending on what they're doing. Like flu vats, you know, I mean, so it, but that was one of the myths out there that, you know, and then of course it says medical research repeatedly shows that the risk of developing dangerous blood clots from getting sick with COVID itself is substantially higher than getting them from any vaccine.

According to public health data, a COVID-19 infection carries a blood clot risk that's up to 10 to 100 times higher than the risks associated with the vaccination. Call the one to the program. Good morning. Morning. Thank you for taking my call. You're welcome. But just to be clear, the Pfizer vaccine was the first one to come out. And then Moderna was the second one.

and Johnson and Johnson was the third one. And I think the reason a lot of black people went with the Johnson and Johnson was because of the name. But you did have an option of which vaccine to take. They were announcing all kinds of locations of where you could go to get the vaccine. But I think

that name, Johnson and Johnson, it caused a lot of black people to want that one. Me, myself, I took the first vaccine, which was Pfizer. And I took that at the VA Medical Center. Thank you. I appreciate you. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning. Yes, I'm calling just to comment on

But when more Congress lady one more has said about shot uh-huh I'm just saying did you ask her if she took it? No, why? Well because lots of them are really there to just ask me promoting it, but they are not taking it themselves if anyone takes that shot believe me you are doomed I do believe that you're not You're definitely gonna be doomed

If you take the flu shot and not the flu shot, I'm talking about the cold. Okay. What are you basing that on? I'm basing it on all the ones that have passed away from it. No, that's not true. That's not true. Well, you can say it's not true if you want. Well, the numbers say it's not true. Well,

You believe what the government tells you? No, I can believe. I can believe. You know what? I don't even have to do it. I can look at the people who got the covid vaccine. Who ain't dead? They ain't doing. I'm one of them. Yeah. But a lot of people did die. No, no, not from the vaccine. That is not true. So, so, I have a doctor. I'm glad he's doing well. You know, you're blessed when you're doing okay. But let me tell you, do you know anything about, um, do you know anything about, um, the rapture and do you know anything

about the mark up to be 666. What's that got to do with a vaccine? It's all tied in. No, it isn't. No, it is not tied in. It is not tied in. Yes, it is, bro. It is not tied in. Where do you think the mark on? What do you think? We're in the end times now. We'll ask you a question, dear sister. You go to the doctor for anything.

I go to the doctor every, just about every other month. Okay, do they give you shots for anything? No, sir, because I tell them no. Okay. All right. And you've gotten better? Yes, definitely. Well, you say you go in every other month. I have to go. I had back surgery. Okay. They gave you a shot when you had back surgery. They gave you a shot for blood thinners. Did they not?

that was before. I ain't covered my blood and then we have, but that was before COVID. Let me say this, let me say this. You can dismiss science until you find yourself in ICU and you're going to want all the science available. And what you're just saying is you're not doomed because the overwhelming number of millions and millions of people took the COVID vaccine and did not die. Well,

First of all, if you look back at the history of the scientists, what they're saying now is there were warnings. They did not tell you what those warnings were. The warning goes with all of the things that happened to the ones that it happened to. If it didn't happen to you, perhaps it hasn't happened.

No, I could I could. If you got that in you and you did you get vaccinations when you were a child? He's not here in a word because you are the mark. Okay, did you get vaccinations when you were a child for Rebella for smallpox? Yes, my mother is at the mark of the beast when you got those shots. No, it's not. So what's the difference? The difference is now day and age.

They're putting it in their business. This is a shot for today's shot, the mark of the beast. Do you believe in God? Yeah, what's that got to do with the mark of the beast? If you read the Bible and revelations, you know what? And the great danger in people trying to be literal with the book of revelations is it gets you in a lot of trouble. No, it doesn't.

God, God's word will never get you in trouble. I don't know what religion you are and you don't let people finish talking over this radio and you laughing and talking about a whole bunch of crap that whatever. Let people finish the conversation sometime because they'll speak the truth. And you, you're interfering. I understand this is your radio station.

But I also understand taxpayers are paying for this radio station. That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. I don't care if it is or not. I respect you. But I'm just trying to tell you. All right. I appreciate you. That's the mark of the beast. OK. You can put it on your forehead on that. OK. How many shots did you take? I had the regular vaccine, and then I think I had two boosters.

Okay, my child took it also, one of my children. I only have two, one of them took it and I've always prayed and hopefully to God it came right on out of his system because thank you, Jesus, he is fine. But that doesn't mean that it's all fine. You did not take the, you didn't take the COVID vaccine? Well, I would never admit it. I would never.

I would never do it, but I'm not broadcasting it because I don't want nobody coming after me trying to jab me. Because if you call me to try to jab me, you might get a shot in your ass. All right, I appreciate you. Well, yeah, you ready to hang up on me now, huh? Well, you've had five minutes. Is that what you do? Is that what you do?

No, we actually got some other colors. We have other colors. When you go right ahead and encourage people, the more you encourage people to take that back, God's hearing you and it's all strikes on your head. You ought to stop that. A lot of people ain't even saying that they're taking the shot. The ones that have taken that stand, they will never take it again because they're going through so much. That young man that's just like you are, a young man in office is telling you the truth and you ought to listen, let the people listen.

and stop trying to interfere and let that man put the information out there so folks will know what's right and what's wrong and that is in my opinion and in God has has let me know from reading the Bible that the mark of the beast is coming and that's it God is COVID in the Bible I mean is COVID in the Bible COVID

I haven't seen nothing about COVID in the Bible. I haven't seen anything. But the mark is in the Bible. The mark of the beast, the mark. I appreciate you doing it. All right, you listen to community voice. Amen. Go get the holy one. And y'all said what Keith said. It's your show.

We're going to change that this way. And callers. No, you didn't. And callers. And no, the government don't pay for WLV. It is businesses that pay for WLV. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. I love black people all over the world. Let's go to break there.

I'm trying to read it, Clark. What did you do? COVID is the one plague in the Bible that Moses did that was never revealed. All right, appreciate you. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning again. Hey, Salish. Jemaine gave me 100 scriptures about the Bible calling people fools. I read them, Jemaine, but still, I guess I'm a fool and I took that chance with the COVID shot.

Yes, I did take the shot. I don't know if the lady was referring to me. I took it. The flu hadn't called it last week. Okay. Wednesday. So that's my opinion. Can I do this disclaimer? Oh, I want to say this too. The categories of like the five sir, not the five sir form.

the three different names and the Johnson and Johnson it got bogged down for categories because of the price range people couldn't get the shot because they were so expensive then they came out with a second one I guess that meant middle class and then they finally came up with Johnson and Johnson for for everybody to be able to afford the shot. That's not what happened. That's not what happened.

Okay, they were either covered by health insurance or they were covered by the government. Johnson and Johnson was removed because of the the higher and again we're talking about four and four and one million four one two three four and one million who had the negative side effect which was blood clots four and one million

And so they took it off. And again, it was the technology that's used. But appreciate you. Let me get the next one. But why would they take it off if four in one million? It's not effective. Because the other ones didn't have any. Blood clocks, right? Right. OK, my point. There you go. All right, here you go. The other vaccines? Call the one to the program. Good morning. Hello. Hey. Hello. I can't hear you.

I can hear you. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay, this is Annette. Annette. First of all, the young lady that was not heard, but the elderly lady, I just wanted to say that I started this stuff when I put that on your post earlier. I was just going to say that I'm glad I got the shot. I've been getting COVID since it started, and I don't, you know, whether it's at my doctor's office or what have you.

I never have had uh exposure to COVID even though I work in the healthcare industry and what have you um and and I wanted just put this out here a lot of us as a race had died of COVID and didn't get to treatment. A lot of us died okay and I was determined to you know take my grandson my grandson he didn't even want to get tested for it.

He said, no, because they're going to stick something in your nose. It's a chip and all that stuff. And I had to convince him just to get tested. You know, we need looking on social media and all that stuff. And, you know, whether he's going to get the shot or not, he said, that wasn't too bad. I never had any symptoms, no blood clots. And I'm older than you, Jermaine. I'm older than you. You look at the age factors, and I get it about the blood clots, but I just want to share something with you real quick. It took me off a high blood pressure medication because I lost weight.

And I'm like, well, all these years, I was gonna have blood pressure medicine. Was there a risk? Absolutely. But there was also a factor in that. When you're coming off of medication, it's because you're doing better. So your doctor, you're doing your research. I always say when the doctor says, be your best advocate, you.

Do your own research. And you did that too, Pete. You said, when you brought the doctors on the shows and the COVID was out there, thank you. Thank you for this station. You did bring your experts on. They said, your best advocate is to listen to the doctors, the professionals, get on your computers, pick up your materials. So to me, going forward, that's what we have to do.

Talk to your family, same thing with voting, all of that. We have to be more vigilant in our own personal healthcare decisions. And read, read, read. And the Bible, and we'll end with this. To a lady that called in, saying about the Bible and all that. Our God says, my people perish for the lack of knowledge.

And that can go both ways, mother. That can go both ways because, again, though, you just said that they that you was off of your blood pressure pills and you lost weight. The reason you was on the blood pressure pills is because your weight elevated situations just like with diabetes. If you lose the weight, you can lose diabetes because it's in the food. Yet you can't because Carci Poe. I'm saying his name right now. Carci. No, hold on. Carci Poe was at stage three diabetic.

All right, he went to the doctor. He lost the weight. I was never diabetic. I'm not saying you were. I love you. I was never diabetic. That's not what I say. If you're on hypertension all your life and in your family genetic, that's my family. High hypertension family. That's the only reason why I was hypertension. That's not what I was saying. No, but let me say this. Whether you lose weight or not, he changed his diet. He changed and he probably went on to medication.

You can be very sent. Listen, you can be very thin and be a diet. I get it. But what I'm saying is because that has everything to do with your body's ability to produce insulin. Okay. Well, let me use me as an example. I went to the doctor, right? Now my weight was 297 a couple of years ago. The doctors told me your borderline diabetes, you got to lose the weight, right? I lost the weight. I didn't, I lost the weight. The stuff that I was eating, I stopped eating that lost the weight. Hold on.

I lost the weight and the doctors told me themselves. It was in the weight. You have to get that fat up off you because it's in there because of what you're eating. I get it. But that's what caused diabetes. That's what I'm saying. Okay. Well, my husband died of diabetes, but sodium is your biggest enemy of to raise your blood pressure, salt, sodium chips and things like that. If you if you if you can just monitor.

there's sodium that goes into your body because you know you just watch water stay away from a lot of high fruit toast and things like you know the products on the on the shelf you want to eat natural foods you know if you can our carrots and in cauliflower and what can i say broccoli man i mean

I could cook you a meal. And this is really good. You know, I mean, just eating natural foods, brother. And like I said, I eat a lot of salad, green beans, things like that. Fresh food and food. And I'm gonna tell you, it will bring down your blood pressure. I'm not taking none. Let me do this. I can't believe you have it. I have another caller. Appreciate it. I love you. Love you too. Call along to the program.

I told them we're going to break this program started off wrong. And we've been on a dial with spiral. Call and welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, I want to share something with you. You talk about the doctors and scientists. Look at blood pressure. In the 70s, blood pressure, considered your regular blood pressure, normal blood pressure, would have been what?

I mean 150 over 90 or something like that in about 1990s. Oh, they dropped it down. Where you going with this, man? Huh? Where you going with this? Because we don't have a lot of time. I'm going to show you how science changes on you, okay? Okay, no one has argued that science doesn't. Oh my brother, if our blood pressure was good, all of them used in the 1977

You know what that's called me. That's called research ongoing research. Just because you have a certain point to date because of ongoing research, then you go and you go, you need to change that. You know, they used to use leeches. But what they did is they lowered it. So now everybody got high blood pressure. You see, you know why everybody got acid reflexes? Everybody got heartburn around this joint because of what we eat. It's because what we eat.

Okay, I don't want this right is what you can so it is what you can saw me Every time I call

I get kicked back. You won't never let me just run my plane. No, because, because, because I'm gonna use a bad word. Because that's what I've been hearing all morning. Can I say this to you, everybody got heartburn, right? We never had heartburn. Everybody don't have heartburn, but you don't get heartburn unless you're consuming something that causes the acid in you. I'm going to tell you what you're not consuming, sir.

What was that? You're not confirming salt. Salt. They took that out of our day because we can't. Yes, because salt is a killer. Hold on, man. Back in the day, brother, they gave you prescriptions to go get cigarettes. Remember that? Okay. Next caller. I gotta go. Next caller. Appreciate you. Me's gotta go, man. Caller, welcome to the program. I finally got in. Yeah, you did. I want to teach right out. Uh-oh.

Stop being like me Let somebody finish dialogue is not not allowed. Oh, no And and we need to talk personally and you need to talk personally with with Parish and get off the air with that long circle of bull whatever

Wait a minute. So you waited all that time to hear him say that? Paula, welcome to the program. He ain't even on no more, man. I got anybody else? No, you made it, man. He is here. Have a good one. I didn't make him that. Alright. I'm standing ten tall. Let me do, let me, let me do this. Let me do this. As much as you have everybody, don't say anything, as much as you have the right to your opinion, as the sister said,

Opinions are like buttholes. Everybody got one. But your opinions need to be based in fact. If you want to start talking about, because we're talking medicine and medicine is based in fact, it ain't based in opinion. And only when you will then do an opinion is when all the facts have failed. Then I have to go into supposition. It might be this look to this day.

the doctors have not figured out specifically why I had the stroke. They had a thought and based on what they did, they prescribed me medication and I've had a stroke. I'll tell you why because you can't call it God's seat. That's what happened. You can't call it God's seat and he got tired of you and pokes you in your brain.

Well, I'm sorry that the D&D took it personal. I didn't mean it personal. Go on, welcome to the program. My bad. Okay, can you hear me all right, Keith? I sure can. Okay, yes, the lady who had called in, I understand she had a lot of good points, but she also said it was her opinion, which she ended up saying.

First, she said, it was a fact that the Mark of the Beast is here and is in this different stuff. You don't know what she's talking about there, because she would have to read the part about the Bible that talks about the Mark of the Beast. It's coming during the tribulation period. And I understand a lot of people believe that the tribulation period is here now.

But that's not true, because we do have tribulations. And then when it comes down to the COVID, medicine and stuff like that, that people wouldn't take. I remember my daughter wouldn't take it. And thinking it was some minute, but she called COVID. So once they got her to the point where she could take it, he took it. My daughter was about 20.

Okay, can I do can I do this real quick? Let me let me do this interjection Younger people did not have the same negative impact that older people did or people with comorbidity. They got sick Right, but because like like kids because of their immunity systems had not been compromised comorbidity Compromises our immunity and that means our ability to fight off infection. That's why older people had a different outcome than a 25 year old. They got sick

But they didn't necessarily die unless they had another comorbidable high blood pressure Diabetes right so yes because of the majority now they've said that probably every American now has had COVID right but because of herd immunity because of vaccinations The outcomes have been less severe so I because I can remember my godkids everybody in the house had COVID at the same time. They were younger

They survived. It was like, you know, a bad case of the flu, a very bad cold. For people in my age group who also were diabetic, who had high blood pressure, right, there was something else because not only is your body trying to deal with those co-morbidities, it's also dealing with a new virus that the body has not built immunity to.

So I think there was a lot of science there and that's why they're going the second time around that maybe the fear was the kids would go to school, contract it, take it home, and then somebody who was older, you know, would be exposed to it and then they would have this a more negative outcome. Here's the other thing. Just because you get the flu shot.

just because you get the COVID shot does not mean that you will not get the infection. What it's saying is that you will have a less severe outcome, okay? So when people get, cause we always feel like, oh no, no, it's just saying that I'm in a better position to fight the infection than I was prior to me getting the vaccine.

Right, but I'm pretty much in agreement with you. I said that about my daughter and some other people because they said that they don't know what's in it. And I have told her and told other people you didn't know what was in all the mother shots that you took and shots that you took. Or even the four of you. The shots that when you went out of the country. Right, the four of you were eating. And then so therefore she, once she got right, she took it.

But my stepmother, she wouldn't take it. And she passed away from the condition that she had. Because once you get COVID, and you have a certain condition at heart or whatever, it'll take you out when you. That happened to my buddy. So if you have these underlying conditions before you get COVID, you take the COVID shot, right? You get COVID, you still got these underlying conditions that could be affected from COVID.

Yeah, but but but the level of what's the word I want to use that I can get COVID, but it won't cause my body to really overcook. Try to fight the infection. I'm in a better position to fight the infection. That's all that's all these vaccines are doing. Right. Building up immunities. Immunities help us fight infection. Right. My last point, um, um, when, when Jermaine, Jermaine was talking about, uh,

taking the product period here and there, or some people had died. Well, some people died that took the product because they took the product too late. Some people already had COVID when they took it. But how do you know that it was too late? How do you know that? Because they died. Okay, well, hold on. Okay, well, since we're saying that, there has been 55 cases of death after COVID-19, after people have taken

the shot, and it has caused relationship issues with people looking at the government because you got these people. How many people? Hold on. That has been reported. How many? Well, what's the number? Well, it says 55 cases has been reported, but I'm sorry. How many millions of people? They didn't say, but it's saying 55 has been reported. In the remaining cases, the casual link between the vaccine and the death was not...

Was not proven proven. Okay, so out of the out of the out of the on the other cases But these are 55 that they know for sure How many people live in America? I know that but what is 30 million you had 55 hold on wait, I'm sure is more than 55 We gotta go I gotta go

Let me thank you. Let me thank you. Let me thank you. Let me thank you. Let me thank you. Let me thank you. Let me thank you.

That's all I got to say. Life give you half a little pressure. Bye-bye. Here I go. That's it. This guy said life. Your mic is turning off. Let's go. Hey, y'all, a good little woman. And management says so. I hope to talk to everybody tomorrow. And as always, go from his place and peace. I don't know.
