Gov. Ricketts (R-NE) says undocumented workers at meatpacking plants will not be eligible to receive the COVID vaccine. That’s at least 14% of Nebraska’s meatpacking workers, according to
From what little I know of these groups/individuals, they generally tend to be at higher risks of poor health, live in cramped quarters, with little trust towards any authorities. The transmission of the virus would be wide spread in that environment, imo.
Transmission of the virus would not be limited just to these groups, but also to the "outside" community. I would consider that latter potential, as sufficient reason for vaccination regardless of how one would feel about these groups. A refusal to vaccinate would be akin to cutting off one's nose to spite their face.
What puzzles me is the meatpacking companies requested their workforces be a top priority on the list for being vaccinated, yet the governor says no.
I see now... the governor is playing . He was asked if illegal immigrants would be vaccinated and he responded "illegal immigrants are not permitted to work in those place, so it will not be a problem". "wink" "wink"
No politician will admit to knowing of anything illegal going on. I remember it being called rubber-necking. Basically seeing something wrong, but quickly turning your head to avoid acknowledging there is a problem. Plausible deniability.
Nice guy.
Use them and dump them.
Very troubling to say the least.

'wink-wink' would be nice, but I don't think he was 'wink-winking'.

Governor Ricketts must be out of his mind.
I guess they have to wait for herd immunity.
This is disappointing, especially when one considers that this fine American patriot:
...purposely sabotaged 500 vaccine doses.

No surprise here. We've known for a long time that Republicans would like to have an excuse for... exterminating... illegal immigrants.
