sounds bad

has this been verified by a credible source?


It sounds bad since you have no context. A group of 20 random doctors and nurses protesting showed up wanting to inject an unknown substance into detainees there. Any world you think they are going to give a green light on that?

The reason vaccination isn’t in place is the kids are there only 72 hours usually and if remaining in longer term detention they will often be vaccinated

That makes sense

Why not just have them vaccinated at their first stop though? Wouldn't that make more sense?

They have the potential to get other people including the people working in these camps sick.

Not to mention the fact that the vaccine is in short supply. Twice I called doctor's office to go in and get a shot. Both times they were out of serum and didn't know when they would get another supply. Said they never know how much they will get. Finally the third time was the charm.

FWIW, last year's vaccine was only 30% effective in preventing the flu.

So Powerman’s title is incorrect and deliberately misleading. Corrected, “ICE presents unverified “doctors” from injecting unknown substance into migrant children.”

Sounds like - once again - ICE is doing the right thing.
