We were honored to have the work of St. Mary’s Center profiled in this recent article in The Oaklandside: “‘Food is Love’: After closing its winter homeless shelter, Oakland’s St. Mary’s Center tried something new. The West Oakland organization hopes its emergency services can still lead to more homeless people getting a hot meal and housing.”

Didn’t J&J just loose some big lawsuit for deceiving the people?
My immune system IS my vaccine. And yours is too!
If something goes wrong, you can't use the vaccine injury compensation fund or sue the maker. With emergency approval, your insurance will refuse to pay your medical bills. The COVID-19 vaccine has killed more people this year that ALL OTHER VACCINES for the last 10 years. The PCR test was designed to make false positive tests with a high cycle rate. They lowered it once Biden got in and got rid of the cases with no symptoms. We keep hearing about people testing positive - WERE THEY SICK ???????? - Bill Gates talked about depopulating the world with vaccines - How stupid do you have to be to get the jab ??
That's not the real Dr. Fauci! But a very real Oakland Senior (and Mom to a St. Mary's Center staff member) who was concerned about taking the COVID-19 vaccine, got more information and embraced the protection and peace of mind vaccination offers.
What about you, are you ready for the vaccine?
