A study with data from ~14 million children shows that COVID19 infection is significantly more harmful to kids’ hearts than the vaccine.
Marty Makary falsely alleged that “children died” because from COVID19 vaccine. Whomever told him that failed to account for SARS-CoV-2 infections.

This clip will be forever burned into my brain. When @sanders.senate.gov told them they would be killing 51,000 people with their vote and they did it anyway. It was like watching him beg for mercy at a public execution.

Warren: "Observe the cruelty of what they're doing. I was a Special Ed teacher long before I ever got into this job... They need extra opportunities so they will also have a chance to succeed. Donald Trump wants to just take that away & Republicans are willing to just stand by and watch him do that"
