Expats in Korea Eligible for Free COVID Vaccine

If you are an expat in Korea and want to get the COVID vaccine, you are eligible for a free shot:

Migrant workers wait in long lines to take coronavirus tests at a temporary testing station set up at the Ansan Multicultural Support Headquarters in Ansan, 60 km south of Seoul, on July 29, 2021. (Yonhap)

 South Korea’s government on Wednesday urged all foreigners staying long-term here to get COVID-19 vaccine shots as soon as possible, saying they are treated the same as South Korean nationals when it comes to the vaccination process.

The announcement jointly made by the Korea Immigration Service under the Ministry of Justice, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) and local governments came amid rising coronavirus infections among migrant workers across the country.

Boston’s Democratic mayor compares New York City’s vaccine passports to slave papers

And those of you who are in Korea and are calling this pandemic a hoax, a “scamdemic”, certainly will not be getting the vaccine, right?

What right do you have to request personal health information across the internet? Regardless of where someone else lives, that’s a huge invasion of privacy.

And, if you really are the person of color you claimed–and able to read the link I posted above–it’s the equivalent of asking for slave papers. Is that who you want to be, Navy Vet?

Remember that Boston didn’t elect some MAGA hat to be Mayor. She’s a Democrat. Read the link. Do it now.

Has the real johnhenry gone away and been replaced by a ‘bot? Are you so far gone you support p3do Joe over Black Americans?

Johnhenry is black as coal… but he is a race traitor… supporting snow-white Biden and marginally-black (slave holding family) Kamala who have spent years (or decades) oppressing blacks, primarily by finding new ways to put them in jail longer.

Trump did more for the black community than Democrats have done since Johnson.

But in fairness, at least johnhenry didn’t support Biden due to race. He supported him because they both touch children.

I have every right to request and make fun of your health status of an old cancer-ridden invalid with diapers on, in bed while in a mental retardation mode. Now be quiet!

Someone’s confused. I have never claimed to be a person of color. And I have not asked for anyone’s health information.

Johnhenry, asking if someone has or will take the vaccine is requesting personal health information. They can offer it, should they desire to do so; but it’s poor form to ask.

Meanwhile, I do apologize for confusing you in any way with the tencent ‘bot trying to worm its way into our conversation.

You and I disagree on many topics; but I’d still spring for the first seasonally-appropriate office beverage if we meet. As long as it wasn’t Starbuck’s…

“The other thing” really reeks of low self-esteem and acts like a person with no family. In the Korean sense of that phrase.

No, I do not mean our friend CH. I believe the three of us could celebrate the next GOP Presidency in a good-humored way. We each differ from the others on religious and oolitical views; but we also have some shared culture, and we should celebrate change and diversity. Well, within constraints, anyway. We’d probably need to set ground rules and have penalties like liser buys the house a round.

The ‘bot, on thd other hand, seems like a poor imitation of a meth addict interrupted from using the free library’s PCs to watch gay pr0n on front of little kids.

Yes, I saw how a pretty run-down addict spoke to librarians and police in Dallas a few years back. Of course, the drug addict was more erudite and had a greater vocabulary than the ‘bot; but China just ain’t sending us their best…

“Someone’s confused.”
Yes. You.

“I have never claimed to be a person of color.”
Nobody stated anything about what you claimed. They stated about what you are.

“And I have not asked for anyone’s health information.”

Let’s see how that quote went…

“And those of you who are in Korea and are calling this pandemic a hoax, a “scamdemic”, certainly will not be getting the vaccine, right?”

It seems you pretty directly asked for health information… paraphrasing here…

“You will have a slightly higher chance for hospitalization, unless you are Israeli, at which point you will have a lower chance as the immunity seems to be wearing off the early adopters, sending them to the hospital in disproportionate numbers, right?”

“You will have zero risk for theoretical long-term side effects that have not been tested (but which current statistics seem to suggest some may come to pass), right?”

“Yoy have statistical skills and understanding of history and government protecting you from the mental illness that is fear of covid, right?”

At least you were right about being confused. One out of three isn’t bad.
