    1. The booster he received recently may have caused those blood clots… thousands of clots in VAERS system in 2021 when vax was released…

  1. I really miss Al Riker. He knows a lot more than weather and shows it daily. I especially admire how he continued after Matt Lauer left. Hurry back Al

  2. I love Al’s enthusiasm! He has reinvented himself with his weight loss and joy for living. God bless.
