Neither one has a vaccine card.

Hope they got the real deal and not some counterfeit/scam. You need to sign off on the Emergency Use Authorization and the person administering the shot makes you fill out the top half of the registration card while they log the Manufacturer/lot number for the shots.

My part of card was filled out in advance of my arrival for my appointment since it was made on-line; rest was done while I stood at the table, then it was sign the form at the pharmacy window and go get a shot.

2 guys that work with me do not have immigration papers. Both were able to get covid vaccine shots. Neither one has a vaccine card.

They got the real deal. it was put on by the city of Trenton. Setup so Illegals did not fear deportation. No id needed. No questions asked. Philly is doing it this way with the junkies on the street. They give them a card with a brand name on it and a window of time for the second shot. I have no idea if any of the junkies return for a second shot.

So how do you know they have been vaccinated?

If you're going to make up stupid ignorant shite, at least take credit for it.

BTW, every vaccine for just about every disease has risks associated for it. Have you refused to get all vaccines all of your life? Maybe you need to experience smallpox, polio, and few other fun times to have a little appreciation for just how you might even have survived so far.

So? Maybe junkies and illegals are smarter than 40% of the country.

Maybe they should consider jabbing all the illegals the Biden administration is allowing to pour across the border.

White House disappointed by China rejecting COVID origin probe plan
https://news.yahoo.com/white-house-disa ... 21829.html

By Jeff Mason and Trevor Hunnicutt

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House said on Thursday it is "deeply disappointed" in China's decision to reject a World Health Organization (WHO) plan for a second phase of an investigation into the origin of the coronavirus.

In May, U.S. President Joe Biden ordered aides to find answers to questions over the origin. At the time he disclosed that U.S. intelligence agencies were pursuing rival theories potentially including the possibility of a laboratory accident in China.

The WHO this month proposed a second phase of studies into the origins of the coronavirus in China, including audits of laboratories and markets in the city of Wuhan, calling for transparency from authorities.

Biden has backed that probe in addition to his own.

The White House condemned China's rejection of a follow-up World Health Organization investigation into COVID-19’s origins, with the United States saying it was “deeply disappointed" — but not proposing punishment — after China said it would block further scrutiny of the Wuhan lab.

The Delta Variant Is the Symptom of a Bigger Threat: Vaccine Refusal

In this article:

After an all-too-brief respite, the United States is again at a crossroads in the pandemic. The number of infections has ticked up — slowly at first, then swiftly — to 51,000 cases per day, on average, more than four times the rate a month ago. The country may again see overflowing hospitals, exhausted health care workers and thousands of needless deaths.

The more contagious delta variant may be getting the blame, but fueling its rise is an older, more familiar foe: vaccine hesitancy and refusal, long pervasive in the United States. Were a wider swath of the population vaccinated, there would be no resurgence — of the delta variant, alpha variant or any other version of the coronavirus.

While mild breakthrough infections may be more common than once thought, the vaccines effectively prevent severe illness and death. Yet nearly half the population remains unvaccinated and unprotected. About 30% of adults have not received even a single dose, and the percentage is much higher in some parts of the country.

America is one of the few countries with enough vaccines at its disposal to protect every resident — and yet it has the highest rates of vaccine hesitance or refusal of any nation except Russia.

I wonder if, theoretically , at least, that if a person had refused to get vaccinated, and it could be traced and proven that somebody got infected because of contact with them, that the carrier could be arrested and prosecuted for "depraved indifference to life" and/or "reckless endangerment" of human life.

What if an infected person spit (considered assault, in some situations) in a victim's face/mouth to deliberately infect them with the virus, and succeeded (?!)

Are you really going to entertain this type of thought process? Let’s suppose you who are vaccinated infects me on the way to getting vaccinated? Then you also would deserve the same treatment correct? Reckless endangerment? After all a vaccinated person if I understand correctly can still get/carry the covid virus? Therefore you could intentionally or unintentionally infect another person.

So yes, they could be prosecuted. This has already happened to individuals with STD's or other infectious diseases that have spat on, bit, or tampered with food, etc. Prosecution of people who have tried to get away from law enforcement officials attempting to arrest them has already occurred. In the cases of attempts at massive infection (e.g. attending a public event) terrorism charges have been leveled.

Re someone who is vaccinated being able to spread the virus. If you have been fully vaccinated (+2 weeks beyond the second shot of an MNRA vaccine) you may come down with a significantly milder form of the COVID/asymptomatic/test positive BUT your ability to further spread the disease is severely limited to non-existent. The vaccine not only protects you from serious affects of the disease, it greatly reduces your ability to shed the virus. Your "viral load" is low enough to limit or possibly eliminate transmission.

Re "tracking" the spread while possible it is difficult and expensive. Matching the specific fingerprint of the strain to a specific person requires detailed DNA analysis to track specific minor mutations.

Yes, old and then recent history as I recall that last year a police officer was charged after deliberately coughing on a person during a traffic stop.
