TV host Andy Cohen said he's disappointed that — even though he's tested positive for 'robust' Covid-19 antibodies — he isn't allowed to potentially help coronavirus patients by donating plasma because he's a gay man

TV host Andy Cohen said he's disappointed that -- even though he's tested positive for"robust" Covid-19 antibodies -- he isn't allowed to potentially help coronavirus patients by donating plasma because he's a gay man.

Cohen told"The View" on Tuesday that the roadblock is what he calls"antiquated and discriminatory guidelines by the FDA to prevent HIV."The FDA's updated rules bar any man who has had sex with another man in the past three months from donating blood or plasma.FDA says it is expediting the use of a blood plasma treatmentIf there are enough antibodies in donated plasma, some doctors say, it can potentially kill Covid-19 in patients who have the disease.

He’s plans isn’t needed

That's f'n ridiculous

Why should we care?

That is wrong!!

He’s got to make it about him...disappointment 🙁his disappointment, his COVID-19, his blood, he is not allowed to help

Who cares Cohen, donate some money then. Jesus Christ, you fricken whiner. Grow a set.

Absolutely ridiculous! During the pandemic of 1918 they wouldn’t allow African American nurses to help, so more people died. I wonder what the reasoning was then? SMDH

Robust hiv robust hepatitis robust stds so why do rainbow 🌈 ppl complain so much?

Awww Poor Andy has to follow their safety protocol and not be a special unicorn who thinks the free world of blood donation revolves around him.

MsActiviss Same! I was told I could not donate blood for my own son because I was a gay man!

PattyArquette Yeah, that is some bullsht.

Good

That sounds like bullshit

Seems there’s more to this story, Being gay shouldnt matter when giving plasma, unless something else has come up in the blood work. Not just because he’s a gay man! If only being gay is the reason it’s ridiculous an discrimination, especially because it could save lives.

Lmao

It's dangerous gay men invented aids

Hmmmm can’t heterosexual people also get HIV?

You're one person! Its fine! DONT WORRY ABOUT IT. WE'RE NOT!

It's because he works at CNN, not because he is gay.

He's in a high risk category for HIV.

Do you have other problems with your blood or they just refuse you because of your life style that’s what they need to prove

High risk just like Intravenous drug users and people who have multiple partners. The publics health is more important than the feelings of the alphabet mafia.

What now thats racist to me

All they need to do is test for an StD and then they should let him, it’s as simple as that.

D0wJ0nEs The real villain 😁

Haha. Now watch as all the liberals start going against science the way they accused Trump of when he mentioned Hidroxychloriquine. Lol. Such f’n hypocrisy.

He’s robustly looking for attention

Ok this is lining up with something I've been reading and it's really pissing me off. Want to shake the nation up. But I'm only 1 person. I'm an observer, and this stuff isn't funny anymore. Simply put they are looking to do what Hitler did. No: LBGT, JEWS, POC, PWD. PT 2➡

JinxIsACat We are living in the dark ages.

Robust COVID-19? Is that what they're calling it now. What was wrong with just leaving it HIV/AIDS?

Yes, I don't respect anyone that involved in those housewives shows, they are wrong and disgraceful.

Stace_RNresists Didn’t know he had the covid, how sick did he get I wonder- the anti-bodies disappear fast

Well there is a good chance he has AIDS so don't think he should be allowed to donate it would be a death sentence for some people.

You have to wonder how they actually “test” someone for GAY blood People are so ignorant Sorry Andy can’t donate-it takes a real asshole to say no because he is gay

This needs to change and quick. If he doesn't have HIV there's no reason why he should be prevented from donating plasma.

USA! USA!

Could it be that there is, yet, no cure for aids?

What the hell has sexuality got to do with Covid - pathetic

It is what it is ... chill out gay man ...

Andy, we also had to say no to Magic

WTAF This is insane!

The rules about donation definitely need to be revised. I worked in England in the early 90s and am forbidden to donate because I have an increased risk of mad cow disease.

As a closeted gay man, whenever i participate in blood letting its always been a 'Dont ask, dont tell' thing. Just need to know your negative hiv status and thats it. No need to divulge that youre gay. Theyre going to run it through tests for infectious diseases anyway.

Huh?

What year is this?

It is a stupid rule.

That's discrimination against homo👎👎👎👎

It is soooooo messed up that because you are a gay man it is automatically assumed you have HIV. Thank GOD it's not a death sentence anymore but the stigma is still there. Same when PULSE happened. Gay men could not help their community or loved ones because of the stigma.

Many reasons you can't donate Plasma: 1. Travel abroad in the last 8 weeks 2. Tattoos/Piercing (12 mos 3. Recent pregnancy (12 mos 4. Exposure to Ebola (8 wks 5. Blood pressure 6. Low Iron levels 7. Poor Liver function (Protein) Our blood supply is not political its medical.

Damn..

If I get Covid 19 the gayest man in the gayest world can welcomely help provide their gay blood so I and so many other sick people can get help. Are people afraid antibodies from a gay man will make them gay less then a sinner? What? I don’t get it. Stay tough Andy thanks4trying

If you have herpes you can’t donate blood either. There are reasons why many can’t donate.

Men who might have Aids should not be donating blood.

You’re good to go Andy. Trump got rid of that dumb law.

What about the fact gay men have an increased chance of having sexual diseases?

Ah guess that’s how complex n complicated this LGBT thing can get....

I’m sure he will make another horrible show crying about it

AIDS is probably the thing they concerned with

When racial equality is still an issue, no surprises with the stigma associated with sexuality.. he should have known...

Technically if you’ve been exposed to hiv you might not test positive until 3 months after. My ex is a medic and he got a patients blood in his eye, patient refused to test for hiv so my ex had to test every month for a year. They told him by the 3rd test it’s not likely.

How silly.

Absurd.

Oh wow thts crazy!!

...? Labs prefer only MALE mice for testing ____, while medicines are prescribed to eVeRybOdy. DiVeRsiTy = Liability ?

So outdated, discriminatory and disrespectful.

JDiamond1 My Dad died of AIDS in 1995 at 38, it was a blood transfusion not because he was gay. And if he was so what. Andy Cohen should be able to donate plasma.....

I thought they changed those CDC guidelines recently allowing homosexual donations. Maybe plasma is different.

i’m A+ any chance he’s A or O? if the cis-hets don’t want it, we queers should start our own network.

BrandonLeeNews talks about this all the time.

But they’ll take free bio anything from black folks/bodies that DONT volunteer

Then quit having unnatural sex

That's rediculous

JDiamond1 Absolutely ridiculous. If he is believed to be high risk for HIV+ merely for being a gay man, then run an HIV test and if clear take the plasma. We are in a global pandemic and need to be smart, not bigoted.

DrJenGunter This is BS. The Red Cross dropped the deferment to three months if a gay man has been sexually active, but they need to get rid of it entirely.

Plasma is plasma dang!!!!

WHAT?

JDiamond1 What idiocy! Do people think a transfusion will make them gay?

When I was a young man I knew this was a thing, so I got in the habit of never donating blood. I’m waiting on my 2nd test results to see if I’m neg & could donate plasma if I had antibodies... I guess it’d be a “don’t ask, don’t tell” thing. Or I could just lie to them?🤷🏻

OH NO!!!!

Everybody considering donating plasma should be tested for HIV. Period.

Yeah this is b******* but on a side note Andy's hair looks amazing.

It's not that being gay is the problem... Google it!

Are they afraid people are going to catch the gay? Wtf?

MEDIVAL...👎👎

Because gays basically sick people, how they can treat patients !!!!

Great, next.

Good

Andy who I've never heard of an Andy Cohen before. . . Doesn't ring a bell. (I'm sure kathygriffin agrees)

freedom_for_jordanian_teachers With_Jo_teachers With_teacher

😢😢😢

He's not a gay man CNN - he's a person without a cervix...duh

And this is newsworthy?

What in the AF!!!!!

It’s not because he’s a gay man. It’s because he gave his adopted dog away. Do a little research, sheeple.

I lived in the UK for several years during BSE and even after all this time am still not allowed to donate blood or plasma. And that’s a good thing.

The land of the free eh? Racist homophobic sexist oh wait That’s your president realDonaldTrump get with the times ,,

secupp Gay people on average have more pathogens in their blood.

What the F? Why?!

Boohoo

secupp Yawn

Because gay men have a higher incidence of HIV and you know Andy Cohen got sum virus-ey ass blood

Welcome to the Dark Ages.

Yep. That's bullshit!

...yeah but...how is it Trump's fault?

I assumed they screen everybody who gave plasma!!! For health issue isn't there a protocol!!! C'mon!!!!

Cry me a River Andy!!!

Its absurd. I lived in UK 91-92. Was a vegetarian and havent been able to donate blood since because of mad cow disease. Since 1993!

Don’t be disappointed be pleased they are putting measures in place to ensure disease control. Being gay maybe a concern that you could be carrying other disease that they don’t want to pass on. That’s honest even though it’s part insensitive.

We're disappointed he survived. Is he still playing trap the clam with don lemon?

secupp And I can’t donate because of diabetes. Policy is made to be followed.

I commiserate with Andy but that's how the cookie crumbles - so to speak! Let me just venture to say -good luck and stay happy and gay..

Because you are out and gay you can’t donate plasma. Closeted gay plasma is still accepted. This is a stupid, hateful rule that has no bearing on public health.

HIV is difficult to detect early which is why the question about unprotected sex. The group (gay men) is specifically called out because it’s still the highest by far group of infected cases. It’s the same reason drug users aren’t allowed to donate.

What?! Cmon what year is this? Since when does sexual orientation or preference have anything to do with covid 19?

secupp The same for me because I am transgender.

Don’t want to spread AIDS to cure Covid do you?

Being gay should not prevent someone from helping develop a COVID vaccine. Period. Having invented the 'housewives of' shows and further developed the pox that is reality TV... exile to a small uninhabited atoll?

Whaaaaat!!!! Wtf What if another gay man would like them and what if others would still like them?

Why? Did he also test positive for HIV?

Back in WW2 I used to be a seaman.

Ridiculous. Any and all resources should be funneled towards resolving the COVID situation, including the plasma of gay men (obvi)

Choices have consequences 🤷

Got damn cnn how many times you gonna post this story

Oh well.

But there's nothing to stop someone who might be HIV positive and straight from donating. This makes as little sense as do most things these days. HIV, like Covid-19 doesn't know the difference between straight, gay, bi and pan. FDA is antiquated and needs to make a change.

Damn shame! So what if he is gay!Y?because of aids FOH they have testing now where they can tell if it’s laying dormant in your body this is bullshit and it’s unconstitutional!! Andy now ya know how is black folk feel! Sorry buddy! I’d take your blood if it meant saving a life

Fake news

You mean he's a gay individual without a cervix?

That's a really lame excuse giving plasma doesent mean that it's gay or straight I like Andy a lot and this must have hurt him it is offensive

At least he can get tested! My daughter was to be “scheduled” for test WITHIN TWO WEEKS!! That was TWO WEEKS AGO and we haven’t heard anything from any testing agency to even come in!! GrandTraverseCounty taking realDonaldTrump orders on less testing presents FALSE RESULTS! DUH

The interview asked if Andy would moderate the debates

Kkkkkkk Being gay is against God will

Anyways....Next😴

👍👍

'They're worried about HIV in blood,' not because he is gay. Quit your decisive & inflammatory headlines. Instead of dividing, work to get it changed. EnemyOfThePeople

WHAT?

Recycled story

This will all change on January 21st. Take a deep breath all you racists and homophobes... or I guess i could just say Trump voters- life is going to be very upsetting to you from now. We are in charge now.

Well they don't want aids to go with it!

What a stupid decision.

I can't because I'm British, and old enough to have lived there during the BSE thing.

That is so stupid. Is he going to give someone 'cooties' just because he is gay? If he can save lives then who the he'll cares what his sexual identity is.

You'll get over it, Andy. Plenty of other ways you can help.

This is so wrong and seeing so many people in support of this is disheartening. His plasma could save lives. Stop judging.

I`m sorry? What century is this?

America does not support gay marriage. It's the very reason corrupt politicians would not allow referendum vote for Americans to decide

Should have thought about that before playing butt darts.

Sound and excellent decision

BULLSHIT!

Medical science is so bigoted!

Tough scene

I agree that it's unfair but the article clearly states active in the last 3 months. Abstain for 3 months, get your antibodies checked, and, if still robust, go donate your plasma. If it's that important to help then it shouldn't be a big deal.

This is insane

Ok Andy, so they don’t want your plasma, just go sit down somewhere and give thanks to God that you are alive, when so many have died. Your self-importance is not attractive. How dare they reject Andy Cohen’s “robust” antibodies filled plasma. Sniff, sniff.

Fucking crazy!!!

WHAT?

Cohen must keep in mind there's a fight much greater right now. Americans are suffering and must die alone due to the ravaging grip of the covid19 pandemic. They have been abandoned by a president. There is great trouble in the Land.

Not true at all Hes had something in the past that couses them to not take his blood

Sucks to suck (pun intended)

AS a gay man, I can’t help but not care. Maybe, just maybe... lie.

Lmao lies again.. the virus you corrupt people have said is man made with human protein strands. once again yoir claims are lies, countering your previous claims as its been done over and over about everything.. why.. cause 0 one knows a fukn thing and its all government take

It just never ends.

That is just ridiculous!! 😡

Well... the whole wiener in a anus thing kinda gross...

Nice division piece. Bs

hahahahahahahaha

America, you’re still living in the dark ages, UPDATE your laws and your humanity 🤦🏻‍♀️🇺🇸

That is terrible

DaveBautista This law needs to be abolished. Any healthy person should be able to give blood. We have rigorous screening for many diseases. LGBTQ+ people should not be kept from donating much needed blood.

True, gay spread AIDS, Ebola, they r devils.

AIDS

It is sad to see how our society has not moved foward in the 21 first century. Plasma is Plasma no matter who donates it.

Are they afraid someone might catch, 'the gay'? How stupid.

If it will save lives, who cares whether Andy is gay or not before his blood plasma can be donated? In this era where even animal blood can be transfused into humans? Poor judgement & unnecessary rigidity that we can hardly afford right now - change that regulation!!!

Around two-thirds of all new HIV cases are homosexual men. The policy solidified only after half of all hemophiliacs died in this country from contaminated blood transfusions. It was politics back then, it's politics now. Bye, Felicia.

The comments tho!!!!! Why would a gay man be more prone to HIV than anyone else. Genuine question

He'll get over it

Why would we want his plasma? Use your head Andy. No, the other one

Absolutely assinined! Thanks to Andy for wanting to help!

If this is precautionary and it includes behaviors that'll allow for donating plasma, like abstinence for a few months, if it's important enough you'll abstain from sex and donate. If not, shut up and move on without trying to start some shit.

What the hell... You most certainly can save my life if I ever need you 💋

That’s so ridiculous! I cannot donate either in spite of being O+ because I’ve lived in Europe in the 80s and there could have mad cow disease 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Andy thanks for educating. I did not know that.

.。。。。

This is terrible! We need everyones help to combat The Donald’s Covid-19 Pandemic!

DaveBautista Welcome to Bizarro America, Andy.

Ummmm, I thought they stopped with that bs years ago at least for donating blood. WTF is the difference. Andy is wanting to help, dammit!

I’d have his antibodies any day!

Seriously? Are we still doing that?! News flash- people are gay, straight, bi etc.. why do people care so much about other people’s intimate preferences?

Yep!

Well they think you might infect someone with gaiety. How can this still be a rule? Its 2020

They don't want Andy's creepy blood.

What in the fuck have I just read

Huh ? don’t they test it to ensure it’s disease free,

Should Of Stayed Straight !!!🧐👍👍 Not Our Fault & Leave Our Rights Alone!!!🧐🧐🧐🧐

Sure they're 'robust' so 'robust'.😂 Anyone notice the over representation of Gay and and lesbians on TV? What's up with that? If TV was real life 85% of the people I'd meet would be gay or lesbian. 🤔

I'm disappointed for you! I thought this was 2020!

😲

Reason 873 why homophobia is deadly stupid.

That’s ridiculous

The 1980’s are calling and we want our gay phobia back....

Someone tell CNN that Anthony Fauci came up with the one year celibacy rule because he's the expert and understand epidemiology within different demographics.

America’s weakness. We claim equality for all. What a farce!

WTF? What kind of thinking was that? If the issue would be about sexually transmitted disease, they can just take a sample of his blood and if it's free from it then he can help many lives, then if he has it, then just refuse it.

At which point will he donate blood.

I know people who listen to CNN don’t like to read but it literally says: 'if any sexual intercourse with another man in the past 3 months' That’s because HIV can go undetected for the first 3 months. AND Anal intercourse is the easiest way to transmit HIV. CNNFakeNews

What does his sexual orientation have to do with plasma donation?!

Well...

Holy sh*t. That's disappointing indeed.

Wtf Why?

So RealCandaceO there is something out there that the FDA fears more than COVID-19...interesting. Hannity MAGA

Can’t they can check his blood to make sure it doesn’t have any AIDS viruses?

If I never get anymore Andy Cohen, it will be too much.

Proof that the AIDS stigma is alive and well. As a heterosexual I am also at risk of contracting AIDS from unprotected sex but I can contribute without any questions about my history. I could be a prostitute. wow...

Well who is to blame for that?

I understand his anti bodies are little rainbows?

The FDA must overturn this draconian regulation that started from the HIV epidemic.

That is not right.

Would you trade COVID-19 resistance for AIDS? Me neither.

Maybe get a second opinion? Or third? Article references timelines in April and May which is last year as far as covid is concerned. Remember when masks were not recommended? For whatever reason. Glad you're doing well

OMG what does that mean? Thats just down right idiocy! This administration does not use the sense that they were born with! Thats discrimination! God help us?

Andy that is so stupid! Your plasma can save many lives.

Well that's what butt sex does... Gets you banned from donating plasma

Life is filled with difficult choices. Get cured of covid-19 then die of AIDS.

It’s Faucci

Most likely this is not a prejudice but ordinary laziness. Otherwise, it is impossible to logically explain the rejection of the so necessary antibodies. If you have the required AIDS test.

I totally understand your disappointment and something needs to be done about this outrageous discrimination.

I mean.... who knows what kind of disease there might be other than that.

Wow, this is absolutely ridiculous & stupid not to allow another human being to help other human beings! We are more the same then we are different. What the fetch is going on in this country?

Ya get over it.

I’m gay and able to donate After calling them about this antiquated law and they lifted it. I’ve donated twice so far

What is there not to understand, people? He is a high risk for HIV. This has been going on for decades. What has changed besides media bias?

We all want your antibodies !!

All this while Trump pushes a unproven drug to make money off of, no worries a reckoning is coming.

nicole_bertrand Total bull shit! No real reason he shouldn’t be allowed to donate plasma!

Unfair and unreasonable.

The ARC changed who can donate plasma. They are realizing those old stereotypes are no longer valid.

That's a consequence of choosing to be gay. We font want your plasma

Andy I love your thick head of hair. Don’t cut it.

What century are USA living?

Barbaric!

Sorry

OMG WTH

What? I feel like something is missing here...

That makes no sense at alll... absolutely none

All I know is that I will be more than grateful to accept his antibodies if I needed them.

Ok ?

Probably because of HIV

Can't donate because he's too happy?

His lifestyle is potentially prone to hiv/aids and is just as risky to spread through blood.

HIV risk

jfc

💔 🌈

Are you kidding me This is beyond wrong and I blame it all on realDonaldTrump TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

No thanks.

This I don't understand

And the thing is that there’s no scientific proof of one’s sexual orientation.

Why?

Only black lives matter. Remember.

He should say “just kidding, I’m not gay”. Then he can help out a whole bunch of people.

Oh well clean up your life.

Thats completely ridiculous and prejudiced!

Oh well . . . Next . . .

🤬🤬🤬

Lol

That is dumb as hell!

Horrible!!

FakeNews CNNFakeNews

Hey Andy

If he is having stranger sex he cannot be allowed to donate plasma.

This is asinine. If I’m in need of blood I’m not gonna ask if the blood is gay. WtACTUALF does that have to do with saving a life if the blood is not positive for Hepatitis or HIV/AIDS?

valerileist That doesn't make any sense to me. I would think that anything potentially harmful in a donation would be screened out, regardless of the sexual orientation of the donor.

If I get sick, I’ll gladly accept his gay antibodies.

America: Incapable of leading the world in anything other than Covid19 cases and deaths.

That needs to change. We can test for HIV now.

That is just wrong!

Get over it.

Things need to change!

Another shining example of why that lifestyle is wrong

Any other health issues! Should not be stopped just because of being gay!

That is correct. It’s a safety issue.

That’s rediculous. What difference does it make!

So awful!

Makes sense. Can you donate if you grab women by the pussy and have unprotected sex with a porn star?

I question robust antibodies; medical community say antibodies are not long term gone in 60 days

What bull shit !

I thought that was changed, but Andy, if I ever need blood, you’re the first person I’m calling.

Y

HIV can be undetectable for up to 3 months. Gay men are at a much higher risk for having HIV.

This needs to change. The rule goes way back to when HIV was considered a predominantly gay disease and before we had adequate testing. Anyone could be positive for HIV. If your going to exclude for HIV concerns then exclude ANYONE with risky sexual behavior in 3 months.

Just another thing to blame Trump on, even though no President has changed this in almost 40 years lol

Nobody’s DNA is going in my body

🤣🤣🤣

CNN sucks --

Has he apologized to kathygriffin yet?

They dont even take blood You would figure that a gay man would know that

What?!?!? I'm sure many would love to have his antibodies!!! Utterly ridiculous. We have not evolved one minute.

2020 PEOPLE, we keep going backwards 😥

June4th What?...Why?

?

He also has AIDS

Might have H.I.V

Bummer

It’s about time that America comes out of the dark ages and joins the rest of the developed countries in a modern age where peoples sexuality does not exclude them or devalues them

The highest prevalence of HIV is amongst men who have sex with men. You don’t have to be gay to have had sex with a man. There is a distinction. If Andy hasn’t had sex with a man in the last 3 months he should be able to donate plasma.

Is this for real? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Of course he does

he take it in poop hole then the mouf and the poop gets in the blood so no body wants poopblood

It unfortunate, but if there is a reasonable explanation, and it comes down to a safety call, then sorry if you’re feeling are hurt. But thank you for trying to help, many won’t even try.

April 2, 2020 CDC Blood Donations COVID19 For male donors who would have been deferred for having sex with another man: the agency is changing the recommended deferral period from 12 months to 3 months.

Nothing to do with discrimination. It is because of a potencial HIV, he had sex with other man in the last three months. CNNFakeNews change your headlines to a more true statement.

CNN, as the king of fake news, used a controversial title to attrack viewers. so basically, they want to rull out the possibility of HIV contraction, from a gay guy who had sex with another man in past 3 months.

WTF this is totally F'd up!!!! Andy I'd gladly accept your antibodies!!

Can't believe the world is still doing this

Scientists should reply concerning this case, anyhow this is a confession from him that what he is doing is neither right nor normal , try then to return to your mind ,GOD will accept every real repentance.

Unbelievable.

News worthy crap from CNN

I guess this is when the homos on the left hate what science says?

For this to still be a practice just shows how archaic and behind America is. We are the dumbest county

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we don't wanna spread gayvid-19.

Blood is blood this was unfair for Andy Cohen

Was he refused by a specific donation site, or refused across the board? On a different note, why not allow him to donate and then use only on other gay people, if that even makes a difference...

Sad

That's ridiculous... so if a person has not come out and donates they will be able to detect that in a test of the plasma? SMH... Zero logic to the people who are in charge of this program.

2 min of fame ? Stop putting the sex card- Reach to Red Cross.

That is really really stupid, he should be able to! Gosh people...

That's fucked up.

At a population level, men who have sex with men have a higher risk of acquiring blood-borne infections,' says a spokesperson for NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT).

It just sucks that trying to move our civilization forward is like spitting into the wind.

We need to reevaluate exactly what it is that is suppose to make America a world leader, aside from its military.

Well their loss

BravoAndy has the platform to speak out for this issue MakeItHappen!

it's not because he likes men. it's because he has anal sex with a population that has a lot of anal sex, which has a high probability for spreading disease.

What!? He can’t donate antibodies because he’s gay?! What nonsense is this?

That's ridiculous

That is a terrible decision. I don't understand. Scientists need this plasma and they are discriminating against people who want to donate? I don't understand. This makes me sad.

Umm, BULLSHIT. I donate regularly at CSL plasma, their only concerns are if you use intraveinous drugs, recently had a tattoo or piercing, and whether or not you recently had sex with a prostitute. That is literally it. So stop fucking lying.

no gay plasma, thank you!

Breaking.

That makes no sense, what does being gay have anything to do with it

That is just whacked!!

Everyone has a card now.

Of course , the HIV

Attention seeker Andy

That's a believable as ChrisCuomo and BrookeBCNN having the virus.

Come to Ireland we just lifted that ban 😊
