Yeah, classic white flight. The town even passed laws to try to force the mostly Dominican immigrants out. It is a bit of an extreme example. But also the population had been declining from 1950 to 2000. It was a coal town, and well the coal industry hasn't exactly been thriving. Immigrants tend to congregate locally. Boston didn't get full of Irish immigrants or Amish country full of Amish by random.

This is not a meaningful statement.
 

No one is suggesting that young males not get a regular regimen of childhood vaccinations. Every male in America has gotten their CDC-recommended regimen of vaccinations, and all states require this to enter primary school.

You are only suggesting that young males not get this vaccine. You are only saying "vaccines have risks!" (that we're not invoking for other vaccines) and that I should "read up more on the subject," that's why I'm saying your angle here is obvious bullshit. If you had a real reason why young people (especially males) should not get it, you'd just post it.

 

There is zero reason for anyone, including young males, to not get the Covid vaccine. It is not perfect but the benefits outweigh the risks, just like any vaccine.

All vaccinations come with risks. Health authorities recognize this. The tradeoff for young people, in particular males, is questionable. Read up more on the subject. The "everyone should" stance isn't helpful and counterproductive. As with many things, there's nuance. To ignore that erodes public confidence of health authorities.
