It feels like the world has forgotten about us and moved on when we’re still very much in a spot of between a rock and a hard place of kids can’t get vaccinated but we still have to work. [...] Spearmint* January 27, 2022 at 12:32 pm "The perspective that unvaccinated people have done this to themselves and don’t deserve consideration anymore feels really bad for those of us who have kids who CAN’T be vaccinated yet." I understand you’re going through a lot of pain, but your kid is safe even if they’re unvaccinated. Very young children have very *very* low risk from covid. I believe I read in NYMag that an unvaccinated child under 5 has less risk from covid than a *vaccinated* 30-something. [...] Lori Summers* January 27, 2022 at 1:44 pm I am am so sorry for how difficult this is for you and other parents (I am not one). The best hope I can offer you is that this will end. Pandemics end. The Omicron wave will be behind us faster than you think – New York, where it was seen the earliest, has seen a very steep dropoff in new cases in the last weeks and other NE states have seen similar. The hospitalization/death risk for vaccinated people is now less than that of the regular flu. It will get better.

Evidence (2018-07-01): For males, the overall rate increased over the study period (from 6.4 per 100,000 in 2004 to 10.8 per 100,000 in 2015; AAPC: 3.8%; 95% CI: 1.2; 6.4). Among the potentially vaccinated females (12- to 20-year-olds) there was a 62.1% decrease in the number of vulval/vaginal warts from the years 2010-2012 to the years 2013-2015 due to an increase in the HPV coverage rate. A similar reduction among males was observed in the same period and the same age group for penile warts (-68.2%). GWs have an important impact on the health services and data suggest that GW-related hospitalization rates rapidly decline in a population with a high HPV vaccination coverage (about 75%). Further efforts should be made to better clarify the epidemiological picture regarding HPV-related diseases, with particular regard to sexual [...] Among the smallpox-vaccinated, the risk of infectious disease hospitalization increased 6% with each 1-year increase in vaccination age (HR 1.06; 95% CI 1.02-1.10). Smallpox vaccination is associated with a reduced risk of infectious disease hospitalization in a high-income setting. [...] Vomiting and severe RVGE were more commonly observed in RV-positive than RV-negative children before hospitalization (P = 0.0008 and 0.0204, respectively). Conclusion In our study, RV accounted for over 40% of GE-associated hospitalizations and particularly affected children under 2 years of age. These data will serve as a baseline for assessing the potential changes in the epidemiology of RV disease and for evaluating the potential impact of the introduction of RV vaccination. PMID:23950659

Evidence (2024-07-17): House Republicans passed a bill in July that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

The data reflects the people that the federal government knows about, but it’s inexhaustive.

Evidence (2024-07-24): - Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake falsely claimed that Rep. Ruben Gallego recently "voted to let the millions of people who poured into our country illegally cast a ballot in this upcoming election." Gallego voted against a bill that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. A 1996 federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting. [...] Kari Lake, who is running against Rep. Ruben Gallego in Arizona’s Senate race, falsely claimed that last week he "voted to let the millions of people who poured into our country illegally cast a ballot in this upcoming election." Gallego was one of the 198 Democrats who voted against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, which passed the House of Representatives on July 10 in a mostly party-line vote. The bill, which was introduced by House Republicans, primarily requires voters to provide proof of citizenship at the time they register to vote in federal elections.

Evidence (2024-07-18): SEN. TED CRUZ: Never before has an election mattered so much. We are facing an invasion on our southern border — not figuratively, a literal invasion. Eleven-point-five million people have crossed our border illegally under Joe Biden. Every day Americans are dying, murdered, assaulted, raped by illegal immigrants that the Democrats have released. Teenage girls and boys wearing colored wristbands are being sold into a life of sex slavery. This is evil, and it’s wrong. And it is happening every damn day. Today, as a result of Joe Biden’s presidency, your family is less safe, your children are less safe, the country is less safe. But here’s the good news: We can fix it. And when Donald Trump is president, we will fix it. [...] AMY GOODMAN: Kari Lake falsely said that her opponent, the Congressmember Ruben Gallego, "voted to let millions of people who poured into our country illegally cast a ballot in this upcoming election." However, she did not mention that it’s already banned by federal law for noncitizens to vote. Lake is a former TV news anchor who lost Arizona’s governor’s race and has since become a face for Trump’s 2020 election denial movement. Jean Guerrero, her comments?

Evidence (2024-07-22): Democrat Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), alongside fellow Democrat Rep. Greg Stanton, broke with the rest of the Arizona Congressional Delegation and voted against The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act on July 10. The move from Gallego comes as a surprise to some given his own bill, the Voting Clarity Act, which, as reported by AZ Free News, would advise illegal immigrants applying for asylum that it is illegal for them to vote under federal law. [...] In a mailer obtained by Cactus Politics, Republican Senate Candidate Kari Lake’s campaign reportedly responded to Gallego’s vote against the SAVE Act that stated, "On Wednesday, Ruben Gallego voted AGAINST the SAVE Act, which would prevent illegal immigrants and non-U.S. citizens from voting in our elections and establish penalties for intentionally registering non-citizens to vote. Notably, Arizona currently tells voters that if their citizenship cannot be confirmed, they will receive a federal-only ballot, allowing them to vote in Presidential, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House Elections." Lake is quoted as saying, "Ruben Gallego helped Joe Biden open our border and allowed millions of illegal aliens into America. Then, today, to add insult to injury, Ruben spat in the face of every law-abiding American when he voted to allow illegal immigrants to vote in our elections. Our elections are sacred. We will NOT allow Biden and Gallego to water down our vote and disenfranchise American citizens. Ruben Gallego is the most radical member of Congress, and this November, Arizona will reject him and his owner, Joe Biden."
