No, that's not how it works. People who live in a place have collective herd immunity or not, unless they are quarantined

When the person behind the desk with the [former] label "leader of the free world" boosts anti-vaxxers, that's not "mere" anything.

It does not matter even slightly where it comes from. It's coming in all the time. What matters is what percentage are vaccinated, which determines whether a population has effective herd immunity. The immigrants aren't moving the needle on that, but the religious are.

So what? Is there a point here or are you just wildly offtopic? Because that brand-new vaccine DID go through some testing, albeit much abbreviated from the usual, and it was already clear that it was safer than the disease. There was also less need for testing because due to its nature it was LESS hazardous than traditional vaccines. We already knew this because we had been doing mRNA vaccine research for years.

There are zero of those.

There are mayors and governors instructing local LE not to assist the crimes of federal human traffickers, but they're NOT instructing them to thwart anything, even though the things they're doing are illegal at all levels.

I think I saw someone swimming in some sewage en route from scraping a bear carcass off the road, let me go check.

1. I got asked once if I played world of warcraft since they say a guy with the name "thegarbz" playing. I said no. By the way I know exactly who that person is because he impersonated me as a joke. I found that flattering and funny, but it has no impact on my life beyond that.

Reminds me of my first email account ;) One of my professors said we all had to register for an email account (this was in the mid-90s) so we could submit our homework to him, so I registered his name at hotmail.com to mess with him ;)

I don't trust single points of failure.

Yeah, this. If I have to sign up to some site that I don't care at all if it gets hacked, I use a throwaway password. Oh noez, someone might compromise my WidgetGenerator.foo.bar account and generate some widgets in my name, heavens to betsy!

Reread prior comment as necessary.

This is still something Slashdot needs to fix because it doesn't just crop up for people confused by multiple mouse buttons, it's also a thing for anyone copying and pasting portions of articles with quotations in them.

Right. It was a fuckup. And moreover, it was anti-developer and anti-consumer. Yet we're supposed to worship His Holy Turtleneck and address our ills with juice fasts in His name.

Thanks for admitting that you're shit.

Sure, they had to sell their stock, including the parts needed to make the machines. At that time they were also still at least assembling them.
