Sad story? It is much, much more sad when someone dies of Covid and isn't vaccinated. The fact that is still happening is truly sad. Your odds of dying from Covid are significantly higher when unvaccinated than if you were vaccinated. From that fact alone, the decision to get the vaccine is fairly simple.
If they are coming here to work, be productive citizens, pay their share of taxes, and follow the laws of the land -- then I have ZERO issues with them. In fact, I might even be willing to swap them with many, many Bahamian citizens who drop out of school prematurely, aren't productive citizens, don't pay their share of taxes, and don't follow our laws.
Ooooooooooh... Haitians are soooooo SCARY. Oooooooooh... Haitians are sooooo DIRTY and EVIL. They wish to take over the Bahamas. Ohhhhh my... I'm so scared and worried. NOT.
They only want the exact same things as we do -- a home to live in, go to school & learn, access to food & water, work & earn some money, and live in happiness. Their homeland is so corrupt, dangerous, & offers no sense of security, that they are willing to risk their lives and their children's lives to get on an overcrowded boat and set off to sea where they very easily could die.
It would be noble and courageous if our country was in a better position to provide for them all the things they are seeking. But to treat them as if they are inferior to us or below us -- is certainly not Christian like and is morally corrupt. Just imagine if the situation was reversed.
Yes, I agree with you. Most folks (vaccinated or not vaccinated) won't get very sick -- which is fantastic. However, you are missing one of the main points of that particular article. The hospitals are absolutely getting crushed and are at max capacity -- solely due to folks NOT getting vaccinated. The easiest way to relieve this incredible pressure on the hospitals is for everyone to get the vaccine.

This chart says it all. Fully vaccinated = ZERO deaths. Not vaccinated = 99 deaths.
It's pretty simple -- just get the shot, where a mask when in public, and you WILL live.
