Because it’s just like the flu and all other non-life-threatening illnesses. Actual cases are significantly higher than reported cases because people deal with it and go on with life.

Why COVID’s XBB.1.5 ‘Kraken’ Variant Is So ContagiousA new variant of the virus that causes COVID has mutations that make it more transmissible, but vaccines are still likely to protect against severe disease Nobody cares ‘The vaccines, which we all know don’t prevent transmission, and are potentially the cause of the new variants themselves, are still the best protection against transmission you have’ 🥴 Honestly, who is still listening to this Big Pharma bollocks?

How many came from the southern border?You see all the ones they let in, in El Paso. Left them cold & hungry in the streets? Any1 make sure none of them are sick or contagious before they just let them w out legal papers? Made sure potus didn't see this? Is that why called out the National Guard in Texas a few weeks ago? Stop the spread tight? America first? Maybe we can borrow some money from Ukraine to help our OPEN border? Spreads easy...except at the southern border?
