Default Foreigners coming to Florida to be vaccinated
I don't have a subscription to the WSJ but there is enough of this article that can be read which says Florida is vaccinating non US citizens. The vaccine is paid for my our government yet Florida is vaccinating non US citizens. How can this be?

idk, this sounds like some kind of 'bait' for haters. IF it's true, we don't know why they had the shot-maybe they have to, to board their flights home? isn't jfk requiring travelers to get a shot?

Welcome to the Health Tourist Club.
UK has had this all year round for years.
People fly in to get free treatment and abuse our health system from all around the world.
Costs us billions.
