Mainecat Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The increasingly Republican pandemic Increasingly, it's a Republican pandemic. The Associated Press reported last week that of the 18,000 American COVID-19 deaths in May, only 150 involved fully vaccinated people — and that "breakthrough" infections of vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of the 853,000 COVID-related hospitalizations during the month. Those low numbers suggest the pandemic death rate "could be practically zero if everyone eligible got the vaccine," the news service concluded. Unfortunately, there are a lot of vaccine holdouts. As David Leonhardt points out today at The New York Times, the refusers are trending Republican: The average county that voted for Donald Trump is just 34 percent vaccinated; the number is 45 percent for counties that went for Joe Biden. And unsurprisingly, the counties that have a low proportion of vaccinations have higher rates of new cases. It's here where you have to consider if Tucker Carlson holds the power of life and death — or, at least, good health or ill — over his nearly 3 million conservative viewers. The Fox News anchor won't disclose his own vaccination status. But he has used his show to make erroneous claims that COVID vaccines are killing people. He has also attacked businesses and events that limit their services to vaccinated people, claiming they are committing "medical Jim Crow." "White Republican men are dangerous, and they can sit at the back of the bus," he fumed. There are other conservative personalities who have failed to encourage vaccine use — Donald Trump has mostly been muted on the subject — but if there is an Anti-Vax Central in conservative media, Carlson's show might well be it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/increasingly-republican-pandemic-184318917.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a good look at which party is constantly pushing the divisiveness. Elections have consequences. I am sorry, but stories like this are really pathetic. This is what happens when you have people who are too ignorant and partisan, that they forget all common sense and just believe anything put in front of them. Out of the 18,000 they don't put in any facts about people who have already had COVID. How many deaths are unvaccinated people that have had COVID before...DUH, probably 0. The deaths are going down because of herd immunity, something that the OP wanted to ignore and something that this article ignores so that they can write a smear piece against their opponents. And the Associated Press has the bias to run a story like this is another pathetic bias that needs to be pointed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is even worse is every morning you have the lap dog media coming out against any reporter or news agency that dares to question the left wing agenda. Locally, we have politicians wanting federal disaster l money and studies as to why a freeway flooded after 6 inches of rain, but not a bit of concern for children being shot in their car seats riding down the freeway.

Cold War Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 It is utterly ridiculous, this is what we are talking about while the money tagged to "help" is being diverted to pet projects. Body bags are being stacked with our most treasured and beloved citizens in every major city, and you are attacked for questioning elected officials about it?

Mainecat Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 I’ll take these odds anyway… The Associated Press reported last week that of the 18,000 American COVID-19 deaths in May, only 150 involved fully vaccinated people. But yeah seems the republicans are responsible for the continued spread of the virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
