What do you mean, “no vaccines”? DHS and Democratic lawmakers [have been working for months to ensure that undocumented immigrants can get COVID vaccination](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/03/republicans-covid-vaccines-undocumented-immigrants-lies.html).

Republicans have been throwing huge counterproductive tantrums about it, of course, but that’s not the immigrants’ (or the Democrats’) fault.

Although I don’t support wishing death on anybody, no matter how irresponsible and antisocial they’re being, it’s ridiculous to claim that schadenfreude about tragic COVID deaths of irresponsible and antisocial antivaxxers is comparable to schadenfreude about (much rarer) tragic vaccine-side-effect deaths of responsible and conscientious pro-vaxxers.

The former group are stupidly and selfishly rejecting science and sabotaging public health, just for the sake of their idiotic conspiracy theories and victim mentality. The latter group are prudently and responsibly following the best public-health advice promoting improved protection for themselves, their loved ones, the whole country and the world at large against a deadly disease.

No, neither group of people deserves death or death wishes for their behavior. But obviously it’s far more reasonable and justifiable to be angry and outraged about the behavior of the former group than the latter.
