    While it's an old link, immigrants illegal or otherwise are not responsible for the the spread of Covid in the US.
    No, the surge in Covid cases across the U.S. is not due to migrants or immigrants

    Not really news but I finally contracted Covid Thursday morning following three days of very careless behavior at a music festival last weekend. My wife woke up sick today. I'm 64 and she's 67 an we've both had a full round of vaccinations and are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms. I doubt we'd be doing this well without the vaccinations.

    Speedy recovery. Ask the doctor about Paxlovid.

    Was not calling you out, just how you worded the post was a little confusing. I saw Duchen also was a little confused. Yes, kids can get sick from Covid. It happens to extremely rare, like much rarer than getting sick from the flu for children luckily.

    That is not a study that shows any definitive answer. That is a person making an assumption. Not real data. Let’s stick to facts. Fact is illegals are being let in our country without being vaccinated.

    This is pure CRAP!

    No one has said in context (people do not write it every single time) that bad outcomes cannot happen.

    The data speaks for itself. Young and healthy are at little risk. You are the one being disingenuous with this post.

    Fully vaccinated account for 91% of COVID deaths in one country (wnd.com)

    Overall, there were 15,113 COVID-19 deaths by May 31, with 13,666 of them among the vaccinated population.

    The Expose noted that defenders of the vaccines argue that 50% of the population of England has refused to receive a third shot, presuming the vaccinated deaths are largely among the double and single vaccinated.

    However, 12,442 of the 15,113 deaths overall were among the triple and quadruple vaccinated population.

    The England data, indicating otherwise, is consistent with an analysis of Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccine trials that found the mRNA shots are more likely to land a recipient in the hospital than to provide protection from a severe adverse event.

    We attended a family reunion on my wife's side in Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago, about 20 people caught covid. Only 4(fully vaccinated and boostered) of the 20 were vaccinated, yet everybody had the same symptoms pretty much. The older group above 60 were mainly extremely fatigued and younger, below 40 described it like a 48-hour bug.
    I was pretty shocked that my wife and myself didn't get or if we did never had a reaction, I was with my brother in-law(first one to show symptom's) for literally 2 days straight. Our natural antibodies protected us and allowed those that did catch it to have very minor reactions

    It is dishonest to trot out or misuse information that is proven incorrect. Be better.

    Just because you believe everything that you're told doesn't make it honest, it makes you gullible and angry

    I have repeatedly taken quotes from the handful of table pounders and those who spread false information. Those people should not now be upset with me that they have been yet again called out for false statements. For those who are now offended, I offer no apology.

    Of course you won’t apologize. You think your crap don’t stink. Well, it does. You are arguing that me and others are saying it’s zero. It’s not zero, it’s an extremely small amount of kids getting sick from Covid. Much smaller than who get sick from the flu. That is proven. Where you go off the rails is you continuously say the vaccine is safe, yet it’s not, especially for teen boys. So you are talking out of one side of your mouth and you look foolish. Just admit you were wrong and move on. It’s not that hard.

    Not unexpected considering you made a blatant disingenuous false accusation/insinuation with your snarky response. You know that no one in context has said that people are 100% not going to get sick. You are the one peddling unnecessary fear. Unfortunate for those that fall for it. That said. Most see through it now…

    The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
