Fair, but let’s look at breakthrough cases. Again have ANY prominent ‘lefties’ been truly ill and hospitalized?
Lots of people are falling ill, seriously so, who have been vaccinated.
I just can’t recall ANY prominent lefties falling ill, let alone be hospitalized. (Hanks and Jesee Jackson, yes) ESPECIALLY among the politically elite and power.
It’s the stuff of a good novel if not true.
Its simple statistics. It might seem like there are a lot of breakthrough cases, but in reality, they’re rare, and the cases are almost always mild. Breakthrough cases and deaths make the news because they were and are super rare. These news stories are amplified by the anti-vax crowd and reinforce the idea the vaccines don’t work (confirmation bias). In reality, they’re working quite well—keeping the vaccinated from dying 25:1 or more.
I think the anti-vax right wingers are also more susceptible to catching covid because they’re convinced that covid is a joke with “only” 1/2 percent chance of dying. So they are more likely to hang out in groups _unvaccinated_. At least the liberals like Nancy and Gavin are vaccinated and flaunting the laws and rules they pass. So they are WAY less likely to end up mocked on their deathbeds.
This is an unfortunate case of mass hysteria. If Trump were president, the number of lefties refusing the vaccine would be much higher— but that is unknowable, just idle speculation.
It doesn’t help the narrative.
