Well if we had a better immigration policy we could potentially vaccinate climate refugees coming into the country.

Also before we start scapegoating immigrants we should probably start addressing the incompetence within our borders when it comes curtailing this virus. Up until 2 weeks ago Republicans were anti-vaxx and the majority of them STILL have an issue with wearing a damn mask.

Well there's noting we can do about governmental incompetence. White folks play this game with every major political event and this time is no different. And i'm not scapegoating anyone and there is no "we" in all this. I just live here a few hours from the border so I'm aware of what's really happening.

I'm not a politician and it isn't my job to fix any borders or set a working pandemic plan. That's what I pay taxes for - so politicians have the funds to carry out this country's business, and protecting the borders is a main component of that. Dealing with viruses they've known about and have been messing with for years is also part of that.

The only thing "we" can do is try and figure out a real way to hold politicians accountable, but I don't think many would be ready for that.

:unimpressed:

Couple things....

1. The unusual Lambda variant is rapidly spreading in South America. Here’s what we know.

“We believe that, at least for the mRNA vaccines—Moderna and Pfizer, that those vaccines will protect very well against Lambda, in the same way that they protect against the Delta virus. Even though some of the antibody no longer works against the variants, it's still enough that they will fight the virus and get rid of it pretty well,” assures Landau who led one study.

2. The study on lambda evading vaccines was based on info out of Chile:

Covid-19: Spike in cases in Chile is blamed on people mixing after first vaccine shot

Most vaccinated Chileans have only had a single dose, meaning they are still largely unprotected from infection. A study published by researchers at the University of Chile on 6 April, in which Cortés was not involved, found that the CoronaVac vaccine was 56.5% effective in preventing infections two weeks after a second dose but only 3% effective after a single dose.3 Ennio Vivaldi, the university’s rector, concluded that until two weeks after the second dose is administered the vaccine “has no significant effect.” He added, “We have to be empathetic, take care of ourselves, wear masks, follow health measures, and stay home even if we have the vaccine. That’s the only way we’re going to get out of the pandemic.”

So....yeah.

It's in the best interest of the wealthy nations to not hoard vaccines away from the poorer ones.

This virus could've been spread just as easily by an American traveling abroad and then coming back home.

Maybe it wasn't clear, but that's my point. These viruses aren't popping up by themselves. I'm saying foreigners are going into these countries, ex: an American or Brits going into Argentina or Peru, getting the locals sick, then a variant pops up.

Why do I have a feeling that foreigners are coming into these countries and spreading the virus around?

IMO new variants arise because someone is creating them in a lab and leaking the shyt. The other stuff you said may be true, but nobody can convincee me that these new variants isn't purposely created to lower the population.

As long as there is a virus & newer variants of sad virus, there will be vaccines which generates
$$. I plan on wearing my masks for years....

Your opinion is still just your opinion. Look at all the assumptions you have to make to reach the conclusion that there is some coordinated effort to infect the world populace. We already know that the human population is growing, we're destroying natural habitats and thus coming into closer contact with viruses for which we have no immunity. Lets start from there.

Just last week there was a report that the melting permafrost in the arctic is exposing ancient viruses. This is largely due to the burning of fossil fuels. We're destroying ourselves.

The problem is much bigger than some supposed shadow entity in the background leaking viruses in some lab somewhere. The problems we face from COVID-19 to vaccine distribution is systematic and is rooted in how we've structured our civilization. That's the TRUE conspiracy.

The chips is in your phone, that you willingly carry around with all your information everywhere you go:mjlol:

Didn't you know?

None of these cats have a phone. Or a social security number. Or state ID. Never attended school anywhere. Don't pay taxes. Don't have a job.

Every single one of them is a phantom survival specialist totally cut off from society living in a shed out in the woods. They surf The Coli using a potato plugged into a keyboard.

Saudi Arabia killed a journalist by tracking his every move with software that hacked his phone and tracked him.

Snowden been saying for years your phone is how the government tracks and records your every move and speech.

Dope boys and killers are caught every freaking day cause of their digital foot prints from their phones.

Yet folks think the government needs a chip in a vaccine to track them...:mjlol:

Next comes the 'vaccine failure' and then comes the alternative method of isolating 'covid carriers' which is the implantable covid detecting chip that will also have your digital id and other info on it


You're unhinged, but you're also a religious zealot, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

No its just the result of a failed global coordinated response to a pandemic. As long as there is inequity when it comes to vaccine access new variants will keep arising.

These 2 variants were out before that tho. I need a more well thought out response from u.

Don't understand mutation brehs. The more people that get infected the more the virus replicates with different variations.

The Coli is far happier believing there's some "bad guy" or nefarious plot or root cause of things they can rally against....instead of plain ol human stupidity and arrogance.
