The way it works is that if you actually want to protect the most vulnerable, you protect everyone.
Selectively offering vaccination will increase the chance that those at greatest risk will get sick AND will make people think that vaccination doesn't matter, so fewer will get vaccinated overall.

This Jew right here ✋ knows that the homegrown far-right, Christian Zionists, etc are the sources of antisemitism in America, not immigrants.

Treating antisemitism as an imported problem does not fight antisemitism.
Using politically malleable language like "terrorist sympathizer" to go after immigrants does not fight antisemitism.
Doing this while elevating antisemitism, as this administration is doing, does not fight antisemitism.
