Until now, testing, treatment and isolation have been our only tools to help limit the spread of Covid-19 - but vaccination is the means to finally bring it under control. That's because, when a vaccine is used by a majority of people, it may lead to herd immunity for all members of society, protecting even those for whom a vaccine is ineffective or medically contraindicated. But if a significant number of people who would otherwise be healthy enough to receive a vaccination don't get one, the risk of a continuing pandemic goes up dramatically for everyone - especially when the population in question is so deeply embedded in front-line services.
And now, with a nationwide vaccination program for Covid-19 a growing reality, we are about to discover how that scenario will play out — not because of anti-vaxxers, but because of one of the thorniest political issues of our modern era: immigration.
So if their immigration status causes the estimated 10.7 million undocumented immigrants in the United States enough fear to reduce vaccine adoption, the health of the entire country is compromised.
Nationwide, the unauthorized community accounts for about 3 percent of the population. Estimates find that most live in just 20 major metropolitan areas. For example, over 8 percent of the metro Las Vegas population is estimated to be unauthorized.
Many elements of American life, from the economy to racial justice to the stability and integrity of our political system, are at inflection points, but our pandemic response is foundational to all the other elements of our society. A successful vaccination strategy that includes all of us - including our newest Americans - will determine the extent to which a stable public health environment is established and thus whether other pressing issues may be addressed.

So the not so subtle psyop to build the perception of fear that if voluntary immunization is bad, we must make it mandatory starts.

There is chatter that trump will run in 2024, if the stand is not taken now it over
Bull-shite! That's using the very old and very outdated estimate of less than 11 million illegals. The real number is probably at least 30 million (with many, many more on the way), around 8-9 percent of the population .
Suuure - now that the vaccine that isn’t a vaccine because it doesn’t stop transmission is there, and still requires distancing and masks, it’s perfectly safe to let in hordes of illegals...get real.
Our boot heel is at the edge of that cliff
We do not have another safe step backwards yet again.
So these are “unauthorized Americans,” and they vote.
Um, no, and PDJT’s 2nd term will assure it.
I’m sure the invaders will get first priority for the vaccine.
They’ll give the vaccine to illegals before they give it to us.
NO WAY IN H AM I TAKING IT

Immigration is critical for any growing society. I don’t think many people are against legal immigration.
But rushing to throw open the doors the day after the vaccines start is jumping the gun a little.
Can we wait until things have calmed down a little before we go back to this crap?
I’d say it’s 100-0 Trump “thinks” he’s running in 24. 0-100 that the party elites “let” him run. The VA GOP is already laying the groundwork with a convention for picking the 21 governors candidate. Ensuring at least one jilted rep runs as an independent, splitting the vote and electing our credibly accused sexual assaulting LT Gov.
People lost all kinds of jobs. Businesses are closing. Let’s import all of Guatemala where even Mexico thinks they’re backwards.
And show US, Prof. Neckbeard, where those 8% of gibmedostresquatrocinco ever hesitated for one single moment to avail themselves of US government largesse. Just disguise the vaccine as a WIC/SNAP card renewal or perhaps inject it through an Obamaphone.
Universities and especially their neo-quasi-governmental NGOs are exactly like peak oil -- the mass consolidation and the job losses coming the way of higher frauducation in the next 10 years are truly going to shock the world.
South Texas has a spike in Wuhan virus cases because ambulances are crossing the border and bringing infected patients here for treatment.
