      "I can't shut up about mine." Good for you Rudolph! Well done! Everyone needs to know about diseases like MS so that they can be sensitized and will donate to research. My disease is chronic depression, but only another depressive can know what it is like. Diseases like MS are physical so are relatable. Not that I would trade places with John King, but no one blames him for his disease and presumes to tell him to pull up his socks or just looks puzzled or changes the subject. They can't relate.

      If you took this gene therapy good for you, then you don't need to worry about those who aren't. It should be a choice. Natural immunity should be allowed. Exclusions for health, religious reasons, etc. should be allowed. True statics should be told, reported, & not covered up. Optional prevention & treatments should be allowed. These shots still have side effects so they have risks involved and there should be no censorship like there is now. Drs should be allowed to treat their patients the way they think is most appropriate for them & not fear losing their license. Also, Col. Powell didn't die of COVID. I've had family members who had COVID that recovered without hospitalization. 1 vax (mandated) ,1 not (wife was mandated). I'm not & will not take this gene experiment. Mandates are unconstitutional & against take Vit D3, B complex & other supplements & have for yrs. Get my flu vax yearly. Have visited friends without masks, one who has been homeless on & off, diabetic since this started & have not had COVID.& even have commodities including a heart attack last year from an electrical problem with my heart, not a plague build up problem (thanks to taking CoQ10 for the last 10 yrs-Dr. recommended & chromium picolinate for my thyroid instead of thyroid med). You say we should have open & honest debates but CNN, MSN, etc. hasn't done that because that doesn't fit the narrative & you know this. Those who have tried lost their jobs with you, MSN, etc. So good luck with having open, honest & fair debates. I'll believe it when I see it.

    Thank you for standing up up, John King. I love that you are so open and I love your broadcast especially on the politics side. You make it all understandable. Be blessed.

    Incredible! John, I saw you during election week and you were fantastic. I'm so impressed at your professionalism and your refusal to "be the story". What you said about "the woman behind you in the coffee shop or the supermarket" was something that we can all learn from. This will go down as one of my favorite and most important CNN clips! All the best to you, John.

    God Bless, John King. Being real is the greatest gift that anyone can ever give to others. Being immunity-compromised in today’s climate is a challenge for all of us.
