How Many Republicans Died Because the GOP Turned Against Vaccines?
The Atlantic ^ | Yasmin Tayag

Posted on 02/12/2023 12:52:34 PM PST by nickcarraway

Party leaders are unquestionably complicit in the premature deaths of their own supporters.

No country has a perfect COVID-vaccination rate, even this far into the pandemic, but America’s record is particularly dismal. About a third of Americans—more than a hundred million people—have yet to get their initial shots. You can find anti-vaxxers in every corner of the country. But by far the single group of adults most likely to be unvaccinated is Republicans: 37 percent of Republicans are still unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated, compared with 9 percent of Democrats. Fourteen of the 15 states with the lowest vaccination rates voted for Donald Trump in 2020. (The other is Georgia.)

We know that unvaccinated Americans are more likely to be Republican, that Republicans in positions of power led the movement against COVID vaccination, and that hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated Americans have died preventable deaths from the disease. The Republican Party is unquestionably complicit in the premature deaths of many of its own supporters, a phenomenon that may be without precedent in the history of both American democracy and virology.

How do you explain all the new uses, if it’s a bioweapon?

If you add up all the years supposedly lost to the vaccine under that formula, it comes to a number larger than the number of years I could possibly live after the time I took the first shot.

"In answer to your question though, a net Zero republicans were probably killed by it. The word is out that every shot you get shortens your life by 7.5%. The ones who drank the coolaid will be the ones to pay with their life unfortunately."

Unproven biomedical technology was force injected into billions of people in the biggest, evil medical experiment since WW II and the Nazis. How many former true believers are walking around wondering if they will drop dead "unexpectedly" at any moment?

“Can you explain what you mean by that?”

I can’t, perhaps firebrand can. But I suspect not...

“Trump talked Ivermectin and HCL very early before the vax. It worked for me.”

The large Indian state of Uttar Pradesh used Ivermectin exclusively, with excellent results...

Good intentions don’t always produce good results. I don’t fault Trump for trying to get vaccines out as fast as possible. That’s what a leader should do, but he depended on the wrong medical/scientific “experts”, because that’s who his trusted people brought to him.

It was a dumb idea, and "The Buck Stops Here".

I think the Atlantic is worried we might be right about those mRNA shots.

Truth hurts.

And I didn't even throw it that hard.

Experts took one look at it and realized they’d helped create in the Wuhan Laboratory.

Patented genetic marker tells the tale.

To answer your question:

Republicans are individuals.

This is why your hive mind so confused.

Trump didn’t lead us. He just jumped in front of the crowd with a baton.

Republicans in general do not lead us. They disgust us, excepting those pursuing policies appropriate to the core conservative principles.

However, many of us do understand why you’re so confused. (BTW: Trump didn’t create the vaccine. He is, however, going to pay at the ballot box for fast-tracking it as the Swamp recommended.)

Exactly. I know that we should know what the left is thinking...but with so many articles per day...I think we get it by now.

Me Too. Bump!

We witnessed the worst medical crime against humanity in history.

Never, ever anything like it in scale.

And the Left is still worshiping Dr. Death.
