I don't know. At some point, you would think people would stop listening to him and donating to him, given he has no tangible power. |
Republicans wouldn't take that one, either. |
![]() Why didn't Trump do a big PSA for people to get the vax that he said he should get credit for? The other POTUS did it. Where were the Trumps? Why did they get the vax secretly? Trump did "advise" people to get the vax, but he didn't really push for it. I wonder why? Can a R answer that? |
Not an R but I think the Republicans believe that getting the case count higher will force restrictions to be put back in place and that will help them in the midterms. There is a huge effort going on to persuade people not to vaccinate their kids with the hope that this will lead to school outbreaks in the fall and local school closures return to DL in Areas with republican voters.
FOX news is all in on doing whatever it can to discourage vaccination and push vaccine disinformation. |
Exactly. They see a recurring threat from COVID as helping them, somehow. It is really warped. If the economy doesn't improve for some people, they won't vote for the dems.
The problem of course, is that most of the people getting sick and dying are the unvaccinated ones - who are mostly in red areas. So in a sense, the GOP is harming their own voters to pwn the libs. Go figure. |
So, they are murdering people tor political reasons.
Hmmm, I think there is a name for that… |
Ugh. If true, that's pretty sick. Putting peoples' lives at risk in order to try and win elections? |
I don't believe this. The states that have the highest rates are red states with Republican governors. |
Highest rates of what? Not vaccination rates. |
Infections. Missouri and Arkansas. Missouri has several full hospitals. They reported just under 1,600 new cases yesterday. For reference, they have about the same population as Maryland which reported 55 cases yesterday. Missouri population:6.137 million Maryland population: 6.046 million Missouri COVID cases on 7-7-21: 1,588 Maryland COVID cases on 7-7-21: 55 Missouri half-vaxed: 45.4% Missouri fully vaccinated: 39.4% Maryland half-vaxed: 62.5% Maryland fully vaccinated: 56.7% And for fun, MoCo: Population: 1.051 million COVID cases: 8 half-vaxed: 75.6% fully vaxed: 68.5% MoCo 12+ (those eligible for vaccination): half vaxed: 89.1% fully vaxed: 80.8% |
“Republican” |
Sadly, not wrong. It is appalling to me that they are able to get any votes |
? 12+ fully vaxxed is 80.8%? Fully vaxed adults i 68.5%? So 12+ as a higher rate of vax than adults? Really? |
Yes. 12-18 year old still have parents who are getting them vaccinated. MoCo still has Republicans who are probably refusing to get vaccinated. |
Is it true? DCUM trusts anything that fits its narrative. I’d love to see how FOX is doing all it can to push ‘vaccination disinformation’. Aside from the obvious hyperbole, it misses a lot of possibilities. |
