Hundreds of immigrants lined up to become some of the first US farmworkers to receive COVID-19 vaccination shots during a launch event last week in Riverside County, California.

The workers took time off from picking produce at Tudor Ranch in the farming community of Mecca, California.

“We’re going to be vaccinating 300 of them,” said Kimberly Saruwatar, Public Health Director for the county. “We know that this is an essential workforce. We know that they are critical to the food supply chain across the country, so we wanna make sure that they’re protected.”

I am totally OK with this, because I have this weird habit of eating things.

To be blunt, anyone that does not know that migrant field workers moving northward with regional harvest seasons are utterly essential to agriculture in California, Oregon, and Washington knows and understands nothing about West Coast agriculture.

Besides, from a herd immunity POV, immune people are immune people, regardless of age or ethnicity.
