I just want to tell folks that yes, for those doubting Thomases, that the damn thing is real.

I’m feeling funny; even though I had my vaccines, double shots, I’m still almost like, hmm, that doesn’t mean that you’re immune.

So, folks, there are a lot of people walking around with it, but they don’t even know,” he said.
