Detained Immigrants More Willing to Get Covid Shots Than Rural Americans

Fresh from her photo opp with South Dakota National Guard troops on a pop break at a Texas What-a-Burger, Kristi Noem snarks at the President and the CDC, “How much ‘Delta Variant’ is coming across the southern border every day??

I can’t tell what Noem is suggesting with (mock?) quote marks around Delta variant, but I can point to numbers suggesting folks entering this country are doing more to beat back coronavirus than the local yokels Kristi courts. According to a July 15 Axios report, 70% of detained immigrants are accepting the coronavirus vaccines that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offers them at the border. We could make that 100% in a snap: mandate vaccines for everyone entering the country.

But even at 70%, undocumented immigrants are beating the vaccination uptake of every state between Mexico and South Dakota:

According to the Mayo Clinic, the percentage of Americans who accepted even one dose of coronavirus vaccine is well below 60% in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. So it appears that foreigners who have been detained and accused of entering the country illegally are more willing to take a shot to protect Americans’ public health than Americans themselves. Those immigrants sound more like the kind of neighbors I’d like to have than Kristi Noem and her followers. Give ’em shots, and let ’em in!

    That’s why we need a better vetting process for immigrants allowed into our country.

    “Skilled” labor implies intelligent?

    Here’s a data point for you!

  2. Porter Lansing 2021-07-28 14:18

    Where’s the data point, JonCon? Oh. You mean, “There’s a data point for you.”
    “Here’s a data point, for you.” implies you’re going to reveal a data point.

    Well they’ve just arrived and aren’t part of the rural lying loser trumps. Sad but what can you say? Get them to listen to Alex Jones and at least their IQ will go south of the border.

  4. John Dale 2021-07-28 16:05

    Porter – you missed a premise.

    Covid is an IQ test.

    When the student becomes the teacher?

    Overcome your own human nature, fight the urge to be deranged against the messenger, this takes more discipline than IQ, perhaps.

    But really, I think you both missed a really good argument.

    Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever.

    Ignorance are more likely just ignorant.

  5. John Dale 2021-07-28 16:05

    “Immigrants are more likely just ignorant.” My mistake.

  6. John Dale 2021-07-28 16:06

    So, ignorant, fearful, caged immigrants more willing to take a shot.

    Imagine my shock.

  7. Mark Anderson 2021-07-28 18:14

    Come on John Dale, your with your cowardice on shots its amazing you got married.

  8. John Dale 2021-07-28 18:54

    I would get the shots, but I read, think, and I’m not suicidal.

  9. Jake 2021-07-28 19:11

    Time, Cory, for him to go “bye-bye!” His uselessness prevails.

  10. Richard Schriever 2021-07-28 19:51

    John Dale – recently, actual scientific studies have shown a reduced cognitive ability in people who have had the SARS COV2 Virus. There’s a relational data point or YOU.

  11. mike from iowa 2021-07-28 20:30

    America might be their only hope of getting vaccinated. And they still won’t likely vote for magats..

  12. Mark Anderson 2021-07-28 20:41

    Well I guess you read what affirms you and you think along the same lines. When has anything you’ve read changed your “mind” John Dale? I guess your “evidence” for reality is Q based and conspiracy driven. Do you really believe anything that Alex Jones Says?

  13. John 2021-07-28 21:35

    Thune, Rounds, voted against your infrastructure bill. Expect boy Dusty to fall in line.

  14. John Dale 2021-07-28 22:20

    Hi Mark;

    “has anything you’ve read changed your “mind” John Dale”

    This is very rare, because I wait a long time to make-up my mind. It takes a lot for me to reach a conclusion and even longer to make decisions. It’s frustrating for others.

    Thanks for asking. I appreciate the question.

    John

    “recently, actual scientific studies have shown a reduced cognitive ability in people who have had the SARS COV2 Virus”

    Where’s the study. I’d like to read it. Assuming I can still read after having covid.

    John

    We natives musta made a reduced cognitive decision by allowing that dang Mayflower land on our shores back when……too late now.

  17. Guy 2021-07-28 22:49

    I have been impressed with Kyrsten Sinema ever since she was elected to the Senate in Arizona. She reminds me a lot of Stephanie Herseth and her leadership style of working in bipartisanship for the interests of all South Dakotans and Americans. John, I don’t care if Thune and Rounds voted against the Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs Act. What I care about are leaders like Sinema, willing to cross party lines and get to work on legislation that we, as Americans, can all benefit from. We need less Pelosi’s and Thunes and more Sinemas and Herseths in Congress.

    John Dale, some people develop reduced cognitive ability from drinking too much alcohol which creates a mutated thought process and causes incoherent writing.

    Lottie, I’m with you. Imagine where this country would be without those immigrants landing in boats all those years ago.

  19. Lottie 2021-07-29 08:47

    We will never know now because we cant reverse history. Amazingly some of us natives never liked or enjoyed alcohol. I read articles stating even white people have their addictions and reduced cognitive moments. Meanwhile after all those boats landed, its been downhill since for mother earth. Climate change is real. We have to work together to survive.

    “Emails recently released by Judicial Watch also reveal that in 2017, more than two years before the pandemic, Fauci knew his health agency was funding research at the Wuhan Institute geared towards enabling bat coronaviruses to infect human cells.” — Constitutional Attorney Robert Barnes

    Overall, we rate AMAC Right Biased based on political positions and story selection that favors the conservative right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the use of poor sources that have failed fact checks.

  22. Porter Lansing 2021-07-29 14:48

    John Dale is doing some serious “sock puppeting” on the connie blog, where grudznick shows his true bigoted self, btw.

    i.e. Sock puppeting is when you post a statement and then post another statement praising yourself and your first statement, only using a different name.

    information expanded:
    John Dale: Covid vaccines are killing people
    Anonymous: That’s been proven. The vaccines really are deadly.

    Just another reason to disregard the connie extremist blog.

  23. John Dale 2021-07-29 15:15

    Porter – that is a lie, and it’s verifiable.

    Have the server administration check my IP or other means.

    I would testify under oath.

    I NEVER Post under a false name or alias.

  24. John Dale 2021-07-29 15:16

    Nearly every post mike from iowa makes relies on some nebulous discrediting of the source, not the information.

    Recommend seeing my latest transmission for why.

    I didn’t burn him .. but he’s toast.

  25. grudznick 2021-07-29 15:37

    Mr. Lansing, you have not yet figured this out. There be many grudznicks, and they be wise.

  26. mike from iowa 2021-07-29 16:54

    Since when has Robert Barnes, the lawyer attempting to represent lying Alex Jones in Texas, been a constitutional lawyer? He is a criminal defense attorney.

  27. Mark Anderson 2021-07-29 18:32

    John Dale it’s verifiable, you only answer questions you find convenient. What about my Alex Jones question to you?
