HAGÃ TÃA (The Guam Daily Post) â Dispelled myths about the vaccine for the coronavirus have spread to the indigenous population of Guam, most of whom have not received their shots to be protected from the disease s worst symptoms. I hear concerns about it changing their DNA, and the word they use to describe this is zombies. So, how do you quell that? said Jesse Alig, mayor of Piti and president of the Mayors Council of Guam.
Alig said he s heard these concerns from CHamoru residents of his home village, regardless of age.
The Department of Public Health and Social Services released data showing just 43% of CHamoru people, the largest ethnic group in Guam, are vaccinated. Local rates for Asian populations, specifically local Korean, Chinese and Filipino residents, are all above 70%, according to the same report. Misinformation about the vaccine may be leading to the low numbers for CHamoru adults, Alig said.

President Joe Biden said Thursday that the thousands of Afghans who aided America and their families would have the option to relocate to facilities outside the continental United States and in third countries to await special U.S. visas.
Without explicitly saying exactly where the Afghan evacuees will go, Biden declared during a press briefing:
The operation [to evacuate thousands of Afghans and their families before the American military withdrawal concludes at the end of August to wait for their visas outside Afghanistan] has identified U.S. facilities outside the continental United States, as well as in third countries to host our Afghan allies.
