Latino workers, groups blast California officials over Covid-19 vaccine rollout changes: 'If the workplace isn't contained, workers are taking the virus to their homes and communities.' - NBCLatino

"If the workplace isn't contained, workers are taking the virus to their homes and communities," said Ron Herrera, president of the L.A. County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO.

A long-term care patient receives the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine at Birch Patrick Skilled Nursing Facility at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center in Chula Vista, Ca., on Dec. 21.LOS ANGELES — Yaneth Gutierrez, 34, an agricultural worker who picks produce in California's Central Valley, had to take two days off when she fell ill. Two weeks after she tested positive for Covid-19, the mother of two lost her job picking carrots because she did not show up to work.

“I don’t have the luxury of getting sick,” Gutierrez said. “I have not been vaccinated. I have to take extra care so I don't get sick again. I have heard bad rumors about the vaccine and I am scared, but the risk of bringing the virus home is bigger.” California recently announced a shift in vaccine eligibility, from labor-sector-based to an age-based system that prioritizes Californians over 65.

NBCLatino The homicide chart you used on the evening news broadcast was incorrect -it shows 43k homicide dealths in 2020 -it's actually less than 19k, according source you cited: Gun Violence Archive. Seems you confused the figure for all gun deaths as homicides.

NBCLatino And the hell with those people over 65, right?

NBCLatino I did my research properly lisaMakT i must confess nobody handled business like you do I'm privileged to work with you, one of the best traders on here.

NBCLatino A stark reminder; if you decide to take this vaccine you are a participant in the testing of an unlicensed pharmaceutical product, which means you are a test subject. Science does not know if this vaccine is safe for you. Only .4% of active Covid infections worldwide r serious

NBCLatino This is a concern in terms of vaccine shortage at the sites, but it's also preferable to wasting the doses. At least someone is getting vaccinated and the doses are being used. Is the objection that more whites are getting access and Latinos are being shorted? That's bad.

NBCLatino On one had MSM echos Democratic talking point about the “ underserved “ being unwilling to accept Wuhan virus vaccine but here we have “ the underserved “ claiming the can get the vaccine? Which is it ?
