Have any prominent/powerful Dems or 'Progressives' become ill and/or hospitalized from COVID? I ask because I cannot recall anyone (on that side of the aisle or cultural debate)of real power, privilege or influence becoming ill, NOT just "I tested positive", and/or hospitalized.

I recall Mr. and Mrs. Tom HAnks were 'ill' but not hospitalized, but cannot think of ANY since. Any prominent member of the House, Senate or Media?

We've seen numerous "far right!!!" people fall ill, and several recently passing away.

This leads me to wonder, did 'they' (members of the Inner Party)get the REAL vaccine?

I mean after all, why else would they (the right people) feel free to attend the several public super-spreader events (0bama birthday .g.) without a care in the world? And notably maskless?

Inquiring minds.

Follow Occam's Razor - if all of us ostensibly got the 'same' vaccine, yet serious infections are aligned to power and privilege ... and political party, then all did NOT get the same vaccine.

Asking for a friend.

Abbott had no symptoms (talk about a mild case, hurray vaccine!).

I think we need to agree that breakthrough cases are not in fact targeting conservatives.

...Or are Democrats secretly taking Hydroxychloroquine and/or Ivermectin?

He was NOT anti vax.

Wasn't he the one with the parody song takeoff of the Beatle's "Taxman" called "Vaxman"? Who compared the vaccination card with the Yellow star that Nazis forced Jews to wear? Yeah, I'd say he had no problems with the vaccine at all. </sarcasm>

While most of the people on this list were likely liberals, how many died pre-vaccine? Also, none of those listed were household names like, say, Jesse Jackson or Tom Hanks. How many of the 0.1% that rule us got COVID-19? Either the vaccines are effective or the elite are taking something like what Dr. Zelenko and other alternative medicine representatives promote.

Odd, but you have a point...

Not answering your question directly, but consider professional athletes. Lots of them have had positive tests. At least a few have been out of action longer than the league minimums. Eduardo Rodriguez missed the 2020 season with Covid and myocarditis. I’m not aware of any deaths of active players, for what that’s worth.

The players and leagues lean left. Non-vaccinated players are criticized, especially if they have positive tests and/or teammates do.

I do not have as much problem with the vax as with the global control system set up to enforce the vaccine and all human activity, without recourse or rights.
