New Jersey Health Department commercial features kid asking Santa Claus for...

A "disturbing" new commercial running in the state of New Jersey depicts a child asking Santa Claus for a COVID vaccine rather than fun gifts for Christmas.

What do we think? Kosher?

We used to have laws that said if you advertise drugs on TV you must disclose the side effects and this is the first time I have seen anyone pushing any drugs on children as if they get a say in the matter.

Kind of seems like propaganda to me.

Sure but it’s also a form of advertising. Drug companies couldn’t do it and then say, hey, it’s just propaganda.

Oh and the writer doesn’t know, you aren’t getting one of these for your kids for Christmas.

“So instead of getting your child a PS5 for Christmas, go run out and get them a COVID-19 vaccine, it will brighten their Christmas spirit,” he added, calling the ad “disturbing.”

its all propaganda now. look what they’re doing with omicron. when they should be telling people there’s not much to fear from it and ending the travel restrictions, they’re using it to tighten restrictions, shut things down, tell people to skip christmas, push a vaccine that does nothing to prevent it and push boosters that in all likelihood will only prolong the pandemic. all so they can claim to have saved us when it finally burns itself out.

sad thing is it’ll probably work. this thing will be done by summer and the left will be claiming their policies beat the virus. when the fact is the virus is going to beat the virus.

In our area the case counts are already declining over the last 2 weeks from 600 to 444. Pretty nice drop.

Yet look at the headline subtitle…Bogen says no new masks rule, despite climb in cases

Despite Allegheny County’s high daily average of COVID-19 cases and impending threat of the omicron variant, county officials are taking a more individualistic...

I am crazy to believe that with a 70 percent faster transmission rate that this variant will both rise and fall faster than the past two surges?

Faster than you can say vaccine mandates are rendered useless.

I don’t.

Trump made an empathetic case to get vaccines in an interview with Candace Owens , I think yesterday

Good there is no reason to feel betrayed about this.

IMO Biden should have appointed Trump as “Vaccine Tsar” last spring.

Ha ! That’d go over great with the progressives.

Yeah, it most certainly would have been interesting to say the least.

Ripped through SA in about four weeks and is now falling off.

Candace Owens is doing damage control after “so many donors and supporters” are upset over Trump’s vaccine comments. She says he is old, isn’t tech savvy, doesn’t keep up with or read obscure internet conspiracies, and only follows the main stream media so doesn’t have the facts. https://t.co/XAuTFfellE

She’s wrong. Cognitive dissonance to protect a narrative.

Trump isn’t Trumpy enough to a sizeable portion of Trumpers.

Go look at New Yorks numbers. Massive surge in cases even with all the mask mandates and restrictions in place.

Many of us said the virus would run its course and this looks like the act that gets us the immunity we have repressed for two years.
