[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take on the sudden about face from Rs on vaccinations: 
1) Big business told them to get it under control due to possibility of future shutdowns
2) R's want to pivot messaging for upcoming elections: If more white Rs are are vaccinated, they will blame spread of Covid on immigrants; already seeing those seeds planted here and elsewhere; it will be the new "CARAVANS!!!"[/quote]
I think it’s likely 1) but also a little of the fact that they realized that their voters will be dying off, truly.

I’m terrible at numbers anyway and don’t feel like looking up what this represents with Delta’s death rate, number of voters in these places, the margins of elected officials, etc., but how many states are purple or are only being kept red by interfering with the election process (gerrymandering, throwing black people off voting rolls, etc) and how likely are the GOP to lose if x number of their voters dies because they were encouraged to believe that covid was fake and the vaccine is dangerous?

Seriously, if someone mathematically inclined wants to take a guess at a state or two, I’d be curious.[/quote]
