Misinfo thrives at Spanish-speaking vaccination site; health workers are fighting back
Ohio Capital Journal ^ | July 6, 2021 | Jake Zuckerman

Wanda knows she’s lucky to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Her three adult-aged children in the Dominican Republic haven’t yet had the chance — there are too few doses for too many people to go around.

In the United States and Ohio in particular, the inverse is true: There’s an abundance of vaccines and a shortfall of people willing to receive them.

“Wanda,” 38, who requested her real first and last name not be used, said through a translator her coworkers believe numerous falsehoods about the vaccines.

“A lot of them are afraid, some of them think they’ll die, they’ll get sick, they think they’ll become zombies,” she described. “They say it’s like a magnet, that pulls.”

Pablo Velasquez, 54, who moved to the U.S. from Columbia when he was 18, said he hears rumors from the Latino community — rumors like COVID-19 vaccines containing aborted fetal cells (they don’t)....

Wanda and Velasquez spoke at a recent Saturday afternoon vaccination clinic hosted by El Centro, a social services center serving Latino residents in Lorain County. Hispanic and Latino people comprise about 10% of the county, compared to about 4% of the state at large.

That a clinic formed on a Saturday afternoon is no coincidence. A large chunk of El Centro’s clients work in restaurants, hospitality and agriculture. The hours of most vaccine offerings clash with their schedules, according to Nelly Dávila, a translator at the clinic.

After weeks of planning, blasting the word out at public events, sending out reminders, distributing accurate information in multiple languages, helping with transport and more, about 50 people came through El Centro’s doors June 19 for a vaccine.....

It’s only racism when they say it is.

You’re not smart enough to know when or even what racism means except what they say it is at that point in time.

It's pretty bad when criminal invaders know more about these experimental vaccines than Americans.

"Wanda knows she’s lucky to be vaccinated against COVID-19."

The BS starts with the very first sentence. Why would anyone consider herself "lucky" to receive an untested, experimental vaccine for an illness that has a survival rate greater than 99% for her age group? This is sheer madness.

Misdirection. The vaccines themselves don’t contain aborted fetal cells, but they were developed using aborted fetal cells.

“For men in their 30s, like me, about 1.2 percent of COVID-19 infections result in hospitalization, according to a July study published in Science...Research from Italy found that roughly nine in 10 hospitalized patients said they still had symptoms after two months. A British study reported a similar risk of long-term illness.”

Things have changed since then. If Mr. BadDiceRoll gets Covid, he will probably get the drug that saved Trump and not suffer so bad long-term. But Mr. OldAsianIndian, whose life may have been saved if he got the same drug, may not get the drug due to a drug shortage and die.

“untested, experimental vaccine”

Each one of the two mRNA vaccines have been given to over one hundred million people.

The number given is simply step one.

Within 2-3 years we will learn the Second Order consequences of this action.
