This is an interesting one, and I'm curious to see how it plays out. Beau makes a pretty specific prediction about a talking point right-wing politicians and media will be using in the very near future. A bunch of R Senators requested data on vaccination rates of recent immigrants allowed into the US. Depending on that rate, the talking point will be one of two things, both intended to make you feel people desperately trying to make a better life for themselves are somehow the source of your problems. None of this is new, it's been the far right-wing playbook pretty much always.
If you think there's a good-faith reason for this data request having been made, and want to suggest some possible responses the Senators / media might have to the data that <i>aren't</i> what was suggested in this video, I am absolutely interested in hearing.
If anyone sees any right-wing responses to this issue in the wild, after the Senators get their response, by all means provide a link!

surfingytpredicting republicans will be racist snowflakes is simple math at this point
luxintenebrisrecall, moons ago, the GOP discovered illegals, that were being caught then deported, were getting physicals and vaccinated for various diseases. they tried to play it up like beau said in this video.
'...US government spending money, giving healthcare, treating illegals better than their own citizens...' (oh, the irony of it all)
what they ignored was that almost all those stopped at the border had zero vaccinations, thus presented a signified risk of carrying a contagious disease. even if they didn't, they might return again (imagine that) and spread, say measles, when they got jobs in hotels, kitchens, or meat processing plants.
they did it to prevent illnesses from being carried into the US.
almost like keeping Americans healthy is a sound - cheaper than being overrun by disease - strategic defensive plan.
understandable why they 'missed' that part of the story.
jimnmsI thought the vaccines had micro chips in it to track us, so isn't that a good thing?
BSRHow is that different than having a phone, other than the needle part?

spawnflaggerThey should respond to the letter with a single number: 1 Quadrillion.
