Lots of folks in Hawaii are getting vaxxed! It's the motivation that comes from seeing friends and family members die or get really sick. Live ALOHA, get the vax! People are already getting boosters.

Too bad that this pro-vaxx movement isn't catching on across te country - especially in those areas where te hospitals are overburdened with the unvaxxinated. What does it take?? I also found it disturbing that the Lt. Governor was being harassed at home - and that his kids had to experience the stress and insanity.

over to the other is a plus, take a victory when one can and move forward.

The other side wants him to suffer for what he put the Lt Gov and his family through, putting his BS out there in the hope of influencing others, over-worked hospital staff, taxpayers who have to pay the hospital bills for this ignorant piece of reich-wing garbage, et al.

OK, it's Saturday night and I'm feeling generous... best two out of three!

That's a good thing - and exactly what the Lt. Governor would want.
