Sadly, Nevada is impacted because Vegas.[/quote]

Dems should not travel perhaps? That spreads virus.[/quote]

Dems have been vaccinated for the most part. Not as much of an issue.[/quote]

It's more of an issue for those pro-life Bible thumpers, who tend to be Republican.

'Bible thumpers' include lots of POC, including Democrats. The provincialism and naivete of this board is disturbing.[/quote]

DP, but you are ignoring the bar chart posted above, that shows that GOP are the largest group of anti-vaxxers in the US. Yes, poor people are hard to reach and African-Americans have a reason to be distrustful, but the numbers don't lie.[/quote]

I'm afraid it *only* shows that of *those* groups the GOP is the largest group.

People can classified into many, many groups with different overlapping characteristics dependent on the person. Saying one or the other group is the 'largest group of anti-vaxxer in the US' isn't anywhere near as easy and simple as you pretend it to be.[/quote]

What does that have to do with the appalling anti-vaccination sentiment within the GOP?[/quote]

I take the view that getting the largest number of people of vaccinated, aka as close to broad protection, is a more important thing than falling for a simple political narrative.

Yes, that certain Republicans make hay about vaccines is bad, but I don't see it as half the story many of you would like it to be.[/quote]

Good for you, most everyone else takes the same view. That's why it's so appalling to see the low vaccination numbers for Republicans[/quote]
