    Why should illegal immigrants get COVID and spread it? The virus doesn’t know immigration status. Getting as many people vaxed as we can with the great mRNA vaccines we have is WHY We are where we are.

    Wrong thread. But, since aid started flowing to Ukraine and the “volunteers” showed up, the Russian advance stopped.

    why are they even on this side of the border to even have the possibility of spreading, and yes, you called them illegal. good first step.

    11 million undocumented already live here. Many for years. Decades even. And their crime for either crossing the border illegally or overstaying a visa? A misdemeanor on par with J-walking.

    They are also an important part of our economy. 8 million in the work force doing things like picking crops and construction, that often wouldn't happen without their labor.

    They all deserve to be treated as humans. And if we have enough vaccine to give, which we do, they deserve to get jabbed for free like the rest of us.

    we are buying to make billions for the vaccine makers, are they giving a discount for volume, i doubt it, it is all about the money for them, why do you think they push for more and more shots, out of human concern?

    I have paid a grand total of zero dollars for my three covid shots and my tests. My insurance paid I think close to a 100 bucks for everything but I would have to check my records for that.

    Odd the obsession with Fauci since his agency doesn’t have anything to do with the vaccines. The FDA and CDC do. But then, in right wing boogey man or woman land, you need to demonize people who tell the truth. Repeatedly. And most don’t have the brains to even know what they are taking about. Remember the Ukraine probe— Vindman, all those people who told the truth. All ripped to shreds by the right wingers, too.

    I'll go down this road. Stop trying pass off bs about undocumented & your having to pay for the jab. Your argument is laughable. The jab has been free from the beginning. It is still free, regardless of insurance status or citizenship.

    Covid testing has been free too, though there have been entities that charge and now that funds are running out, some private entities will likely charge, at least until congress provides more funding. But if you've paid, you might want to take it up with your state & county leaders.

    Didn't more people die (with vaccine) under Biden than the previous administration without a vaccine?

    of course they did,more cases under biden also, but that does not fit the biden the savior, trump the devil mantra the left is pushing, never let facts get in the way of a good lie.

    No. The overall death rate under Trump compared to Biden was similar until vaccinations became more widespread among the population. When Biden took office, however, we were at the peak of the deadliest period for covid but since April 2021 when vaccines became available for everyone, unvaxxed have died at rates 9 - 19 times that of vaxxed. This comes to about nearly 9 in every 10 covid deaths since April 2021, with most of the other deaths being people who were vaxxed--mostly elderly and/or those with multiple comorbidities.

    who is denying anybody a chance to live? Are there death squads out there that I should look out for?

    you have to address their housing, childcare, mental, and dependency problems before they can be productive workers.

    @QGator2414 what do you find funny about this. These are simply the facts supported by all the data. Unvaccinated die at a much higher rate than vaccinated
