Key thing is people should have a choice - and with that comes consequences for their choice. Period.
So if we can't be sure, we can't make statements that they ARE vaccinated. The answer is, "we don't know".Well, an earlier poster linked to data showing that the kids coming across the border ARE vaccinated. The adults, due to the high vaccination rates, probably are vaccinated, but can't know for sure.
Why would we let illegals cross in the first place, secondly why let them through without proof of vaccinations and third, why would we vaccinate illegals and not just send them home? It's the trifecta of idiocy that our Federal Government did all three. Obviously it's easier for us to vaccinate, but not everyone agrees.While you can have a choice - don't get vaccinated - what's easier, vaccinating yourself or trying to find any unvaccinated people coming to the country as tourists, immigrants (legal or illegal), and citizens who are returning from overseas?
And your choice has consequences for others. I know several adults who came down with whooping cough recently. They hadn't been overseas; hadn't been in contact with people from other countries. Got it right here in the good old USA from kids whose parents didn't vaccinate them. None of us has really paid attention to the fact that the whooping cough vaccine lasts about 10 years; the thought was that was good enough since all the kids got immunized. Well, it's not good enough anymore. Get your TDAP booster (the shot for whooping cough, among other things)
True.
