Tomi Lahren criticizes the push for COVID vaccines and boosters, highlighting a new FDA-funded study suggesting that older adults who received last year's booster and a high-dose flu vaccine in the same visit may have an increased risk of stroke. Lahren questions the rush to authorize the experimental COVID vaccine without going through the normal scientific process and expresses frustration with the damage caused by lockdowns and COVID policies. She argues that those who advocated for these measures should not be granted grace or forgiveness, as they have ruined lives. Lahren concludes by urging people to demand freedom and never let such actions go unchecked again.

The Sioux Falls School District provides guidance on COVID protocols, including self-monitoring for symptoms, testing, and following positive case protocols.
