Farmworkers and those in food processing plants, such as slaughterhouses are at high risk for contracting COVID-19, and some have died.

A rushed vaccine of a new kind for a class of viruses that has never had a safe effective vaccine? Even folks who get their flu shot every year are suspicious of this one, and rightfully so. Nevermind that COVID has a survival rate of well over 99.5% except for individuals who are already far too infirm to be out farming.
