And yet they go home to their families when released. Guards and other prison workers go home too.
Geebus, you're a moran.

it should be mentioned that mich’s only end game here is, more doses for mich.

It’s no surprise that the mask, social distance, vax measures have fallen on so many deaf ears. Predictable when people only care about themselves.

[ousdahl]

more so impressed he even thinks the vaccine’s a good thing.

There must still be a huge portion of the population who thing that when they acquire a communicable disease they got as punishment from the gods for being bad.

Given the level of compassion that Mich has I’m sure he self-identifies as Christian

essential workers should be vaccinated in order of priority. Maybe I did, but I don't recall ever saying otherwise.

If an individual gets vaccinated. They're pretty well protected, maybe as high as 95%

If an individual, and everyone around is also vaccinated that 5% you have to worry about starts to get a lot closer to 0%.

So, If I'm a prison guard and have a child with asthma and a spouse who's diabetic, I'd feel a lot better about going to work in a prison full of vaccinated inmates than not.

Not to mention, with reference to all wards of the state, it is many orders of magnitude cheaper to get them a vaccine, than it is to care for them when sick with Covid.

On the vaccination priority list, I cannot fathom what group the "incarcerated/convicted serving prison time" are in front of. Who?

1. MICHHAWK
2. Healthy young people


And then work from there.

Those who do not live in group facilities and are at very low risk of severe Covid?

It's not that hard.

When everyone else on the vaccination priority list has been checked off, we should vaccinate the "incarcerated/convicted serving prison time" group.

Hypothetical, disregarding actual logistics and distribution:
If you've got a shipment of 2,000 vaccine shots headed to Leavenworth Kansas and there's a current wait list of 2,000 Leavenworth citizens all over, say, 50 years old, but the prison population of 2,000 haven't been vaccinated, who takes priority?

It's already happening. The people in charge care about the country's overall health and getting past this.

And, as fish point out, it's saving tax dollars as well.

Should we also just let prisoners who catch Covid because of your (very stupid) policy suffer untreated? Because if we're treating them, it's your tax dollars.
