Nebraska Immunization Record: Fill & Download for Free

Well if you read the reports about people being reinfected the man in Nebraska keeps coming up so does the one in Hongkong and I believe also one in Belgium, the Netherland’s and in Ecuador there seems to be around 6 recorded cases up till now but they say there could be many more! What a hundred more or a thousand more.or even 10,000 more and even that figure still doesn’t make up a fraction one percent of the 43. million who have been infected by it.

Why does Nebraska’s governor say citizens and legal residents will get vaccine priority over undocumented immigrants?Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts made some statements in early January, 2021 which were intended to feed several kinds of false narratives, and appeal to the support of white nationalists who also supported the MAGA rebellion against the duly elected government of the United States a few days later. As demonstrated by other answers to the OP, Ricketts has stoked false resentment with a medical absurdity.The greatest racist falsehood operating for Conservative minds is the idea that “…’illegal immigrants’ [sic] are stealing from taxpayers [sic]…”.The reality is, for Nebraska in particular:The white farm owners are paid ‘socialist welfare’ by Trump for the damage he did to soybean markets because of his ‘easy to win’ trade war with China. In white communities which suffer from job losses due to COVID-19, laid-off white workers are paid enhanced unemployment payments and stimulus checks. At the same time thousands of ethnic undocumented workers are designated as “essential frontline workers”, and are actually having payroll tax deductions taken from their paychecks to support the white unemployed people who are stealing from taxpayers with “socialist programs”.Pete Ricketts’ statements follow upon a year when the spread of Coronavirus inside Nebraska’s meat and poultry processing facilities endangered thousands of employees who labored in unsafe conditions.“Throughout the pandemic meatpacking plants have served as major hotspots for virus transmission, as workers spend hours standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the line and crowd into locker rooms to change their clothes before and after shifts.”“More than 44,500 coronavirus cases and 232 deaths have been linked to processing plants around the US, according to the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting.Over 5,200 of those cases and 22 deaths came from 23 separate outbreaks at plants in Nebraska.“ - before Nebraska stopped reporting cases and deaths related to food processing facilities.https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/12/nebraska-coronavirus-case-numbers-meatpacking/During these outbreaks, the State of Nebraska and the Trumpublican federal government did not impose strict Coronavirus guidelines for Health and Safety in the packing plants, and Nebraska refused to identify and track the spread Coronavirus cases in the worker community. Like other places in the United States it is likely that workers from ethnic communities in Nebraska suffered from both higher infection rates and higher death rates than surrounding white communities, while also being designated as “essential frontline workers” for the state economy. Nebraska swept this death rate under the rug.Minorities hit hard by coronavirus in U.S., but Nebraska isn’t tracking by race, ethnicityNebraska has recorded 169,000 coronavirus cases and 1,672 deaths to date, in a total state population estimated at 1,934,408. - With an “official” infection rate hovering under ten percent of the population, but also a low rate of testing and low rate of reporting, it is possible that the spread of Coronavirus from meat packing plants continues to be the greatest threat of disease in the state.Governor Ricketts dismissed the threat to the community from spread of the disease out of meat packing plants, first asserting that undocumented foreign employees do not exist: ''Illegal immigrants are not permitted to work in those facilities, so I don't think that will be a problem,..” he said, using the common racist terminology to refer to undocumented foreign workers.“In reality the issue is much more complicated, as undocumented workers make up a large section of Nebraska's meatpacking industry - which is the largest in the US with roughly 26,600 workers in total.”“According to recent data from the Migration Policy Institute, some 66 percent of the state's meatpacking workers are immigrants, and varying estimates suggest that anywhere between 14 percent to almost all of them are undocumented.”Daily Mail UK Nebraska governor says undocumented workers at meatpacking plants will NOT be eligible to receive COVID vaccines“Food manufacturing, including meat processing, is the largest industry in Nebraska by total payroll dollars. Nebraska agriculture and food processing outperformed the national average in output, even though employment growth in this area lagged, according to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.”Top 5 Industries in Nebraska: Which Parts of the Economy Are Strongest?Governor Ricketts then suggested falsely that undocumented workers are ineligible for vaccination: “You’re supposed to be a legal resident of the country to be able to be working in those [meatpacking] plants, so I do not expect that illegal immigrants will be part of the vaccine with that program,” He stated.This is a falsehood: In fact there is no prohibition for any undocumented worker to receive a vaccine under the federal program.The idea of excluding any group of people living in the community defeats the purpose of the vaccine program to achieve “herd immunity”. If the state deliberately excludes sectors of the community from vaccination, it simply creates a reservoir of disease that is likely to infect vulnerable individuals in the general population. “Not vaccinating a large chunk of the state’s essential workers because of immigration status is both deeply unwise and damningly unethical.”When an employer (meat packing corporations) in the United States knowingly allows undocumented workers to work in their facilities, it is actually the employer who is commiting a crime under federal law. However the meat packing industry in particular actively recruits undocumented workers from many parts of the world because they are “exploitable”.Undocumented workers have more roadblocks to forming labor unions. They are hesitant to file workplace violation complaints with OSHA or NLRB. They are not likely to report food safety violations to the USDA. They will not ask for the same benefits as US citizens. They cannot make unemployment claims in Nebraska. They do not receive stimulus checks or unemployment checks,…Governor Ricketts is not so stupid that he doesn’t know the employment practices of the largest industry in the state. Meat packing companies are hardly ever prosecuted for hiring workers without federal authorization. Pete Ricketts is telling lies to cover for corporate pirates and to make false claims against poor people who have no voice.This is an example of dog-whistle racism, and clearly it is an attractive idea to the MAGA insurrectionists. On the face of it, Governor Ricketts is proposing a government policy of ethnic cleansing against vulnerable non-white working communities, to set an example that “’illegal immigrants’ [sic] are not wanted”. The motivation is to entertain the blood-lust of hypocritical white conservative who are living on ‘socialist’ welfare programs during the pandemic.The reality is that the act excluding the most vulnerable communities from vaccination programs defeats the purpose of the vaccination program, because vaccination programs are intended to protect the most vulnerable communities in the population. Coronavirus does not care what color your skin is. If you are designing your vaccination on racist principles, then you will find that your vaccination program is ineffective.If the resentful MAGA people who want to ‘punish’ ‘illegal immigrants’ [sic] working in meat packing plants really wanted to do anything to stop the practice, they could simply organize a boycott to stop eating meat and poultry. The truth is that they condone the use of undocumented workers in unsafe and dangerous jobs for low pay; the undocumented workers who pay for white people's’ ‘socialist’ stimulus checks with payroll taxes.

How many people had to be vaccinated for the bubonic plague before the vaccine eradicated it?I’m seeing several statements in the question and some answers that I’d like to challenge:Vaccines are for a disease—not truePeople had to be vaccinated—not trueVaccines are only for viruses—not trueBubonic plague was eradicated by the vaccine—not trueThe bubonic plaque was stopped by achieving herd immunity—not trueVaccines are for a disease—not trueVaccines are intended to prevent a disease. They don’t kill the cause of the disease but stimulate the immune system to develop the ability to counter the disease. Treatments are intended to kill a disease cause or to weaken or remove dangerous symptoms. Some vaccines are actually toxoids intended to counteract a toxin produced by the causative organism, eg, the tetanus vaccine.People had to be vaccinatedMany answers had this right. People were not vaccinated. Vaccines didn’t exist during the reign of the Bubonic plague.“The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina.” history.com/topics/middle-ages/black-deathThere are historic records from India and China that describe early smallpox treatments using tissue from a person with the disease. When Was The First Vaccine Created? Edward Jenner invented a method to protect against smallpox in 1796: arm-to-arm inoculation. VaccineA vaccine was not responsible for the decline in bubonic plague cases.Vaccines are only for virusesYersinia pestis, a bacterium, is the causative agent of the two forms of plague: bubonic and pneumonic plague. Although these diseases have killed more than 200 million deaths in the past, antibiotic treatment of bubonic plague is usually effective. Pneumonic plague is difficult to treat and even with antibiotic therapy death often results.A killed whole-cell plague vaccine used in the past as been shown since to offer poor protection against pneumonic disease. Also available is alive attenuated vaccine that is not considered suitable for use in humans because it retains some virulence.“A sub-unit vaccine based on the F1- and V-antigens is highly effective in animal models of disease against both bubonic and pneumonic plague. This vaccine has been used to explore the use of different intranasal and oral delivery systems.” Vaccination against bubonic and pneumonic plague - PubMedA list of bacterial infections addressed by vaccines can be found at List of Bacterial vaccines - Drugs.comBubonic plague was stopped by the vaccineSince there was no vaccine at the time of the bubonic plaque, this statement cannot be true.The bubonic plaque was stopped by achieving herd immunityBubonic plague typically meant death to those infected. Although some of these people may have started building immunity, those who died didn’t live long enough to help achieve herd immunity. In fact, only one-half of those who got the plague died of it. Those who favor the principle of herd immunity state that more than one-half of the population needs to have immunity for herd immunity to be possible.Bubonic plague was eradicated—not trueThe plague never really ended and it returned with a vengeance years later and is still endemic in parts of the world, including New Mexico and Arizona in the US. There were three outbreaks in the 1300s.In London and other European cities, once people recognized that the disease seemed to travel along with unsanitary water, and rats (intermediate vectors) were trapped and killed. These actions seemed to be responsible for temporary removal of the plague threat.An outbreak in Ragusa, a port city in Italy used social distancing to stop the spread of plague. Initially, sailors were held on their ships for 30 days. Later, the period was increased to 40 days. This is origin of the term “quarantine”, a practice still used today. Black DeathThe First Time the Plague Broke Out in the US, Officials Tried to Deny ItFamiliar? “The disease was likely introduced by rat–infested steamships arriving at California’s shores from affected areas, mostly from Asia. But instead of alerting the public, city and state officials—including the governor of California—denied there was any plague outbreak at all.” The First Plague Outbreak Hit the U.S. in 1900. Officials Tried to Deny It.“The plague had come to America. And unfortunately, it never left.”Dr. Rupert Blue helped end the outbreak with initiatives to clean the city and eradicate its rats, whose fleas were infecting humans with the plague. By 1908, San Francisco was essentially plague-free, and California newspapers reported this news even though they’d previously denied the plague’s existence.TodayPlague occurs naturally in rural areas in the western United States, particularly Arizona, California, Colorado and New Mexico. That's where an average of seven human plague cases are reported each year to the CDC . Significantly more cases occur in parts of Africa and Asia. The Black Death: A Timeline of the Gruesome PandemicPlague has occurred in people of all ages (infants up to age 96), though 50% of cases occur in people ages 12–45. Plague surveillance | CDCThe last urban plague epidemic in the United States occurred in Los Angeles from 1924 through 1925. Plague surveillance | CDCReported Cases of Human Plague - United States, 1970-2018 Plague surveillance | CDC“From 1944 through 1993, 362 cases of human plague were reported in the United States; approximately 90% of these occurred in four western states with endemic disease. During each successive decade of this period, the number of states reporting cases increased from three during 1944-1953 to 13 during 1984-1993, indicating the spread of human plague infection eastward to areas where cases previously had not been reported (e.g., eastern Montana, western Nebraska, western North Dakota, and eastern Texas).” Human Plague -- United States, 1993-1994For historical information on other plague outbreaks see How 5 of History’s Worst Pandemics Finally EndedOh, by the way, some answers asked about the relationship of the Bubonic plague and the Black Plague.
