Vaccine refusers don't want blue America's respect

You left this off your quote. "But local officials and shelter operators said they feared that the actual number of infections could be much higher." It came directly after your quote. It was the very next line. I don't THINK you cherry picked one single quote to dismiss the rest of the article, I KNOW. You not only cherry picked it, you left off a very important end to that particular quote. Why? Because it wouldn't help you dismiss the article if you included it.


Some pretty important points that you just dismissed:
"Mr. Rivero, 45, came down with the coronavirus and spent the next two weeks isolated, along with his still-healthy wife, at a hotel with about 200 other migrants who had tested positive for the virus or had been exposed to someone who did.
“I was healthy until I got locked up,” he said.

As the United States vaccinates larger numbers of people and several states begin to reopen after seeing lower infection rates, the failure of U.S. authorities to test adult migrants for the coronavirus in jam-packed border processing centers is creating a potential for new transmissions, public health officials and shelter operators warn, even among migrants who may have arrived healthy at America’s door."

More than 170,000 migrants crossed the border in March — many coming from countries still grappling with high infection rates — but the Border Patrol is conducting no testing for the coronavirus during the several days that the newly arrived migrants are in U.S. custody except in cases where migrants show obvious symptoms."

"In California’s Imperial Valley, where the Cuban couple was apprehended, 15 percent of the migrants released by the Border Patrol into the community between April 7 and April 13 tested positive for the virus — three times higher than the official average, according to the California Department of Social Services."

And the operator of several large shelters where migrant children go after their release from border processing said one out of five children at those facilities was showing a positive test result on arrival.

In theory, those who test positive could have infected other people before arriving here,” said Diego Piña Lopez, the program manager at Casa Alitas, a respite center for migrant families in Tucson, Ariz. Staff members there have been performing rapid coronavirus tests on dozens of migrant families each day after their release by the Border Patrol.

Migrants who have a positive result are transferred to a shelter operated by the city. Others spend a night or two at the respite center and then board planes or buses to their destinations around the United States. Some of them could well have infections contracted in Border Patrol facilities that did not register on tests during the brief time they spent at the respite center, immigrant advocates warned, and could unknowingly expose others as they travel to join friends and family elsewhere in the country.

People who were on the bus or in the cell with people who tested positive are going to test positive,” said Mark Lane, who runs a small humanitarian organization in San Diego, the Minority Humanitarian Foundation. “Uber drivers, taxi drivers and people like us, people who are not fully vaccinated, are getting exposed. Today I took two guys who were released and put them in a T.S.A. line with 500 people on it.”

"The mayor in Yuma, Ariz., Douglas J. Nicholls, said that before the local medical center took over testing, migrants were being dropped off by the immigration agents at the side of a road or in parking lots — with no testing for the coronavirus.

“It’s completely crazy,” Mr. Nicholls said. “It’s not the way we should be handling things during a pandemic.”

Last week, the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit alleging that the federal government was “encouraging the spread of Covid-19 at the border” by keeping potentially infected migrants housed closely together in government custody.

Mr. Paxton said in a statement that President Biden was demonstrating “outright disregard of the public health crisis” by “welcoming and encouraging mass gatherings” of migrants in border facilities."

"Migrants themselves are expressing worry about spending so much time in close quarters after being apprehended by U.S. authorities.
Jemerson Kener, a Brazilian who crossed the California border last month, tested positive for the coronavirus after spending four days at a crowded Border Patrol station.
“In a pavilion meant for about 20, there must have been 100 men,” he said."

"Cindy Mendez, a Honduran girl who crossed the border in February to join her mother in the United States, said she tested positive for the coronavirus after being housed for two weeks in a processing center in Donna, Texas, that in March was operating at more than 700 percent of the capacity it was designed for.
“We were sleeping on the ground on top of each other,” she said."

"Department of Homeland Security officials stressed that there were no facilities for testing efforts at Border Patrol processing stations, particularly for children, who have to be separated by gender and age. Children are now traveling to shelters in separate buses depending on their Covid-19 status, an improvement from past months.

The agency’s focus has been on moving migrants out of custody faster, which is key to lowering their exposure, and the strategy has been successful: Data released on Tuesday showed that the number of unaccompanied minors in custody had dropped 80 percent in the past month.
But even tracking those migrants who have the coronavirus can be tough.
Andrea Rudnik, whose nonprofit organization, Team Brownsville, provides aid to a hotel for coronavirus isolation in Brownsville, Texas, said many migrants who tested positive had disappeared before their mandatory separation period was up.
“They want to leave,” she said, “and if they realize, ‘Hey, I can just take a taxi from this hotel back to the bus station and get out of there,’ then they’ll do it."



Your one single cherry-picked quote does nothing to dismiss all of that. It is VERY clear YOU did not read the article or you would not have attempted to dismiss it. You did nothing but scan the article for something you could pull out to dismiss the article. 
YOU did not read the article or you would have known that one quote doesn't dismiss the whole article.





You're projecting. It IS interesting to watch you struggle with truth and reality.



In other words, you made up that statistic simply to push your opinion.

We're not comparing lies like Biden or Democrats trying to preserve the fun of a surprise party. Biden outright lies. Quit finding reasons that it's okay if you're a Democrat. That's not honest. 

How many lives were put at risk because Fauci lied and said wearing a mask wouldn't help any? How many people died because of that? We'll never know because he is spared the hate of the left to investigate and dissect every utterance, every breath he takes into oblivion. 
How many people did Whitmer and Cuomo kill by mandating infected seniors go back into nursing homes? 
How come no one ever holds any of them accountable for their actions during these discussions? 

Nope. Not at all, poor, sad, delusional Gia. I’m not the one posting lies and propaganda here like you are.

I stated upthread that the FACT I pulled from the article YOU posted, busted your attempt to paint immigrants as mass spreaders of the virus. Context always escapes you. In fact, you even made the link “title” different from the article making it appear that the article itself was painting immigrants as mass spreaders. Liar much?

What you lead with in posting just a title to the article was disingenuous, and you knew it. You got caught manipulating once again.

I even stated, in that same post that the article mentions that they don’t know if immigrants brought it or that they contracted it upon arrival—the authorities cannot pin point it, so how can we or you?

Not once did I negate or argue anything else the article mentioned.

Simply playing by the rules like you post here.

It’s crystal clear that you are continually posting false info, twisting or leaving out context, purposely posting out right lies.

Your the one projecting sweetheart, not I. Nice try but epic failure on your part.

I’ve actually posted factual, truthful information rebutting and shutting down your lies and disinformation. Wish I didn’t have to, but people like you are dangerous to society by posting the lies and disinformation.

You’re the “trump” of pea land—just cannot tell the truth.

Do you not understand damage that those series of lies trump told has done to this country?

You show me a lie that President Biden, President Obama, President Bush 1&2, President Clinton, President Reagan, President Carter, President Johnson,  President Kennedy told in the same caliber as the two examples of lies that trump told that I provided.

As far as Dr Fauci lying about wearing masks.  Where is your proof Dr Fauci purposely mislead the American People about the masks?

As far as the nursing home story goes, as usual you only got part of the story right.  But I have a question.  If these folks are stable enough to be released from the hospital and they previously lived at the nursing home or still need some care but have no others place to go once they are released from the hospital, where should they go?  Park them on a sidewalk?  

Anybody who defends trump does not get to talk about accountability when it comes to others being held accountable.

IMO, it is NEVER about changing the brainwashed mind of the person posting lies/half-truths.

It is ALWAYS about correcting the lies and half-truths for the bystanders who can learn and spread the truth in their spheres of influence.

It’s not trying to reason with her.

It’s important to call out the lies, disinformation and bullshit that people like her continually post—It would be nice to ignore it, but that’s how we ended up with trump, people thought that the lying orange fool didn’t have a chance, but his lies, disinformation and bullshit got him to an office that he should never had held—he was inept, unqualified, ignorant, an epic liar, destructive, damaging, and a horrible potus.

So tor me, it’s about combating the lies by the liars—because that’s what they are when they keep on with their rhetoric after being shown the truth/facts time and time over.

Wouldn’t want Anyone new to the board/unfamiliar with her MO, to see her bullshit as fact.
