I'm reading today that ICE has said it will not give flu vaccines to migrants in detention. Flu is a serious disease. If it gets established in these detention facilities, it will be spread to the communities around them. Then all of us will have a serious dose of the flu. Also, this has a sound of wanting to have deaths in these facilities, especially of young children. Doesn't this rise to be a moral issue, not just a political one? Oh, when does it also become a public health issue? Does this even border on potential genocide, the way it did when we spread white diseases to whole native American tribes so they were eliminated from the land we wanted?
