Zaleski writes, "Sen. John Hoeven and Sen. Kevin Cramer said – get this – that a list of criminal airline passengers would equate to the current no-fly listing of jihadists and others who are classified as “terrorists” because their crimes constitute attacks on the United States. That’s baloney."

Zaleski: Anti vaxxers absurd, irresponsible

They are vectors (like mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus); fertile vessels in which a virulent virus thrives and spreads, thus hampering public health efforts to slow the pandemic and eventually end it, as the population attains herd immunity."
