#OTD 1951, Henrietta Lacks died of cervical cancer, but her cells lived on, playing critical role in polio vaccine & important drugs. “They were taken in a bad way,” her grandson said, “but they are doing good for the world.” #MondayThoughtsfacebook.com/jerry.mitchell…
@tatereeves If the fed government had not required all public school children to be vaccinated I wonder how many children would be in leg braces, and wheelchairs due to polio? My oldest brother had polio. Antivaccors in the 90’s are responsible for my 4 week old daughter caught Pertussis.
The President has no authority to require that Americans inject themselves because of their employment at a private business. The vaccine itself is life-saving, but this unconstitutional move is terrifying. This is still America, and we still believe in freedom from tyrants.
Sad. One of the most respected leaders of #CivilRights Movement, #BobMoses, has died. Registered Black Mississippi voters, despite being beaten & jailed. Architect of #FreedomSummer. If anyone deserves to trend on Twitter, it's #BobMoses. Please help him do that. #Hero#Courage
@tatereeves The NGA situation at Oxford is one of the best. They are prompt, accurate, professional and pleasant. Couldn't do a better job. We owe this military much praise.
We just scheduled 20,000 new first doses of the COVID vaccine in an afternoon! This is why it was so important to open access—people are ready! We’ll get them out as fast as we can get them in. More opportunities coming as soon as we get more supply—working on additional avenues.
@mrogerspc@tatereeves Same here. Called MDH 2x today & took the “call back” option. First was 60 minute wait time. 2 hrs later, called again for new est wait time of 99 mins.
Next call was gov’s office. Bitched and moaned to nicest young man for 30 mins
@msdh how do we get an appointment??? Other people are going to churches and other places, but my 68 year old husband hits roadblocks when he tries. Help!!!!
@scbarfly@tatereeves Try finding these “vaccines” on the Coast!!! Nothing available, hotline has a 70+ minute wait time and Coastal Family Health puts you on hold and then hangs up after 22 minutes. This reminds me of the unemployment fiasco.
@tatereeves U cheer on parts of the coast that are killing it. U chastise others excessive unused doses. U make vague promises of “new weekly shipments arriving” and “new appointment availability.”
@tatereeves no vaccines available in:
•Harrison County: MS Coast Coliseum and Convention Center
•Jackson County Civic Center, 2902 Shortcut Road, Pascagoula
Why???
@tatereeves#mdes I am confused!! You want me to work to help keep the small business I work for going, but you want me to look for another job!! I am not quitting my job! My boss just can’t afford to pay the three workers for 120 hours yet. Businesses are not doing great.
