Nobody’s pushing the vaccine to compromise your rights, or hamper your happy hour - there’s no microchip, shedding or quackery. No one in the ICU likes “I told you so”, while you’re waiting for a lung transplant. Many of us care about you, even if you hate us. Get vaccinated.

We mourn the loss of the two victims and are praying for the recovery of the more than 20 people injured at El Mula Banquet Hall near Hialeah. We are working with local authorities to bring justice to the perpetrators. Justice needs to be swift & severe! .
