Resettled Migrants are Having Hard Time Getting Coronavirus Updates, Adding to Pandemic Concerns
The refugee resettlement program is worsening the coronavirus pandemic.
Refugees resettled in the United States from the third world are having a hard time receiving coronavirus updates, blaming the language gap as well as a lack of social services as society is increasingly locked down amidst the panic.
Because of the federally-funded refugee resettlement program, there are 200 different languages that are spoken in the state of Ohio alone. Immigrant advocates are attempting to disseminate information related to this virus to all of these different cultures in order to prevent its spread.
“There’s an extra layer of fear if you don’t speak the language,” said Columbus community activist Houleye Thiam, who serves as president of the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights in the U.S. “You can watch the governor but you can’t understand him; that’s a whole different kind of fear and uneasiness and feeling out of place.”

Columbus has a community of roughly 3,000 Mauritanians. Thiam is worried that bad information and rumors are running rampant through his community, and he is trying to get the best tips to them on how to avoid the spread of the virus.
“The biggest challenge is misinformation.” Thiam said.
The Ohio Department of Health is being forced to devote precious resources to getting coronavirus information out to refugees and foreigners in different languages, distracting from an already daunting task of keeping the native-born U.S. public safe throughout the crisis.
Even the advocates admit that it is an uphill battle to keep these different immigrant communities informed, as the strain of diversity and multiculturalism takes its toll on society.
“Access to information for those with limited English is a challenge and we are working to provide resources,” wrote Lilly Cavanaugh, who works as executive director of the Ohio Latino Affairs Commission.
US Together, a resettlement agency that operates in Ohio, has closed down their doors but is attempting to work with refugees remotely to inform them with up-to-date information about the virus. The Community Refugee and Immigration Services (CRIS) has a flier for coronavirus in 10 languages, but that pales in comparison to what they would need to inform the various third-world communities that they are servicing.
“This is ever evolving. These are pretty basic documents,” wrote CRIS executive director Angie Plummer in an email. “Nothing replaces reaching out by phone directly.”
US Together is denying that the refugee resettlement program adds an additional strain during times of crisis, such as the coronavirus pandemic that is ongoing.
“Living and working near resettled refugees does NOT put any person at greater risk of contracting COVID-19. Suggesting that migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers bring or spread diseases is a long-standing xenophobic trope that has been continually proven to be factually inaccurate,” they wrote in a blog post to address concerns.
That may be the line that the refugee industry is peddling, but it is clear that the influx of refugees resettled with taxpayer dollars is adding additional strain on a system that is already dangerously close to collapse due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Michael Moore: White Texans Don’t Deserve COVID-19 Vaccine
This is medical racism.
Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore called for the COVID-19 vaccine to be reserved for Texans who aren’t white in a tweet thread slamming Texas’ decision to rescind its mask mandate, at first stating that Texans didn’t deserve the coronavirus vaccine because of the state’s refusal to implement mask restrictions permanently.
Texas – we hear you. You didn’t want to be part of our electrical grid. And now you’ve removed your mask mandate & are allowing large crowds to gather. We hear you! COVID is a hoax! So u don’t need our precious vaccine. We’ll send it to ppl who are saving lives by wearing masks.
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) March 3, 2021
After some Democrats criticized Moore’s embrace of a medical embargo on Texas, the hateful filmmaker clarified his proposal. Moore said that the poor and members of non-white groups should be vaccinated, with most White Texans seemingly banned from receiving the vaccine.
2. Yes, we must and will find a way to vaccinate the poor and people of color in Texas. To Texans who say, hey, it’s not me – it’s the Governor! Well, then, impeach and remove him. We’re tired of this. Don’t mess with Texas? Happy to oblige.

The anti-white racist only reveals his own ignorance. Texas Governor Greg Abbott cited the coronavirus vaccine expressly as a cause to roll back COVID-19 restrictions, with the vaccine more effectively enabling individuals to reintegrate into social society. Mississippi followed the Lone Star State in terminating its mask mandate on Tuesday, and several other red states are moving to finally take statewide mask mandates out of the picture in addition to reopening schools.
Moore’s proposal for racial restriction of President Trump’s COVID-19 vaccine also amounts to a medical crime against humanity, practiced by totalitarian regimes throughout history in times of disease. During the Medieval Black Plague, Jews and other minority groups were at times blamed for the disease, in roughly analogous fashion to Moore’s libelous remarks.
If Moore is so worried about the impacts of Texas’ measured COVID-19 policy on public health, maybe he should take a look in the mirror. Obesity is estimated to be among the most harmful and costly threats to public health in America, with the most overweight at severe risk of incurring a serious case of COVID-19.
