Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

📊Studies show:
✅HBV vaccine seroconversion in HD is ~70%
❌Drops further in diabetics, elderly, & malnourished
💡 Tip: Use adjuvanted vaccines (e.g. Fendrix®) and check anti-HBs titers regularly.
