Holy Cow! 212,255,202 Americans more scared of covid than the experimental vaccine. That is MORE than 3 times votes any candidate received in 2020.
I believe in numbers and data. This clearly shows Americans will NOT elect any candidate for president in 2024 who does not take covid seriously. Which means Kamala has a chance to win. Because PDJT or DeSantis will make the same mistake Trump made in 2020 by saying (paraphrasing) “this is just another flu and will die away when warm summer weather gets here”.
If instead PDJT has said in every rally, something like,
“this is an insidious virus released by China to destroy our greatest ever economy, and I am going to do everything in my power to protect the American people from covid”, Trump overcomes the fraud and wins by 5 million votes.

There’s no nuance anymore. DeSantis has encouraged vaccination but has held that it’s a private choice and people shouldn’t face coercion or loss of their employment if they choose not to receive a vaccine. But the populace, and the media certainly reinforces this notion, seems to perceive that if you’re serious about covid, you’ll stridently support coercive government measures to force people to be vaccinated. The idea that you can encourage vaccination but support an individual’s right to choose not to vaccinate seems totally lost on far too many Americans.
That number is the number who have had the 1st shot. No where that I see do they give the count of fully vaccinated.
Never mind, at the beginning it states the number of fully vaccinated as being: 182,012,343.
All but a couple of my friends are pretty conservative. Almost all are vaccinated. Almost all would support Desantis were he the republican Nominee. It's not a black and white issue, and many of those who are vaccinated (like Desantis) agree that people must be free to chose and are against mandates and lockdowns. Would unvaccinated people vote against Desantis just because he is vaxxed? Of course not.
Obviously COVID is going to be weaponized as an issue. Families of people who died in FL will be paraded out to blame Desantis. But 2024 is a long ways off, and I don't think a majority of those vaccinated see it as part of who they are politically. It's just a vaccine, and it has been made available to every person who wants it. Even in Florida.
Yes. When election time comes, we’ll remember the insanity (QAnon, conspiracy theories, compulsive lying), the insults, the libels and the threats against all who weren’t on the extreme fringes.
