True story....15 people in a bank branch became ill within a 10 day period. 8 were vaccinated, 7 not. At first, 6 tested positive for the flu and negative for CoVid, and 9 positive for CoVid. After a few more days of being ill, the 6 that tested positive for flu then tested positive for CoVid. No one was so ill to require hospitalization. The 16th person was sent for a test as she had a headache....2 tests later, she still tested negative. She was the only one who had CoVid originally, very sick, but recovered after a few months. The moral of the story - whether you get the shot or not, whether you get sick or not - it's a crap shoot. Your individual immune system plays a role....your co-morbidity plays a role. Bottom line - do what you feel is best for you and yours.

The influx at the Texas border has had little to no impact on the number of people in Florida with COVID, because it has had little impact on the number of people in Florida, period.

Immigrants in from Mexico/Texas aren't being sent to Florida and told "be free!" and just cut loose at the airport. It just flat out isn't happening. It's fear-mongering, a CONTINUED attempt to blame Mexicans for all the ails of the USA, because the fear-mongerers don't want to admit that they could have done more right here in the states to reduce transmission, but chose not to.

Just like Europe blames the French, the USA blames the Mexicans or the Muslims, depending on the situation that week.

Anyone needing non-COVID hospital services are also suffering. Elective diagnostics and surgerys are delayed leading to non-COVID deaths.

Most cruel is the inability to visit loved ones in the hospital.

If you are vaccinated your risk of hospitalization is very low, and your risk of death is very, very low. It is mainly younger, unvaccinated people going to the hospital and unfortunately dying. It is their choice to not be vaccinated at this time so they will suffer the consequences.

AND maybe the U.S. gave it to China to study and experiment upon?

There have been over 5000 deaths from the so called vaccination. The second shot can be deadly. Survival rates are 98.5% untreated over all age groups. Adding treatments like hydroxychloriquin, ivermectin, monoclonal antibodys and more increase the survival by over 60%.

I am not living in fear.

How about doing the humanity thing and vaccinate these immigrants? There’s more than enough vaccine that the southern states aren’t using.
