To be clear, if you don't invest in a proactive early minor expense of recent vaccination in the short run, you run the risk of catastrophically high expensive hospitalization care (assuming availability) and/or death. profits of vaccine makers are modest in comparison. https://t.co/BmscA4q8oz

For the immigration restrictionists, Title 42 is more of a consequentialist argument. They don't trust the Biden Administration on controlling the Southern border.
