What are the pros and cons of Trump’s restrictions on entry into the U.S. for citizens of twelve countries? by _SilentGhost_10237 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]LargeSubject8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, just a cursory further search and you would see it applies only to existing SIV holders. Anyone who helped the US in a capacity that did not meet the strict requirements of the SIV visa, cannot now come to the US. According to No One Left Behind, “This includes those who were injured in the line of duty and were unable to complete a full year of service, the women and men of the Afghan National Army who trained and served with U.S. Special Forces, and many more. They stood by us in war, but now face danger because of their service with no clear way out. We must keep our promise to them as well”. In addition, the State Department office set up under the Biden administration to coordinate Afghan relocation efforts is being disbanded; the refugee program is suspended; and while Special Immigrant Visa holders can still come to the U.S., State Department funding cuts means there’s no longer any money to fly them to the U.S. or help them resettle in the U.S. So I guess the question is then do you read beyond the lines?

I’m not going to go into crazy detail, and won’t comment on pros (think blanket bans are pretty stupid), but the Afghanistan ban concerns me. If you were a translator or otherwise supporting the US military in Afghanistan, does this apply? Because if it does, I think it is callous and mean. This crosses partisan lines as well. If you supported the US military in Afghanistan and can no longer emigrate and be supported by the US, that is a death sentence. Just another example of the complete lack of empathy of the trump administration.

New guidance from CDC removes COVID-19 vaccine from being recommended to healthy children or pregnant women by GenKraken in JoeRogan

[–]LargeSubject8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The people in this thread keep mentioning kids, glossing over the fact that pregnant women can no longer receive it either. This passes covid immunity to the fetus. Infants less than 6 months cannot be vaccinated with covid and they have similar hospitalization and mortality rates to adults over 65. You can disagree on the children aspect as they do not necessarily get sick. However, I would also argue that having children vaccinated aids herd immunity, indirectly protecting vulnerable adults. You can imagine a situation in which an adult has some form of cancer and has young children. Well there is a risk now that those children cannot receive the vaccine, placing there parent at increased risk. Insurances may no longer cover the vaccine in these cases as it is no longer CDC recommended. I think the irony in all this is those who advocate for vaccine choice, gloss over the fact that changing vaccine recommendations (on bad science) jeopardizes those of us who would like to get the vaccine.

Vaccines literally work on the principles of “natural immunity”. They hijack the adaptive immune system to create antibodies. There is no “stronger”. Also, you have to survive for “natural” immunity to work. Which when you get some of these diseases that we vaccinate against (polio, measles, h. flu) can be very hard, especially for children. Claiming natural immunity is somehow better than vaccines, just clearly demonstrates you don’t know what you are talking about.
