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.

Umm... does the author not understand what abortion is?
“...when a Republican created it,”
A RINO populist created it.
And he never mandated it.
He knew pharma gangsters (see O’Keefe’s piece on Pfizer) would blame him for 20 million Americans dying from Covid if he didn’t get out of their way, so he cut a deal to let them try while refusing to mandate it.
#PureBlood here.

The real question is, “How many Democrats died because, unable to think for themselves, took those untested poisons?”.
My answer is: “Not enough of them”.
True. But technically he was registered as a Republican.
SNL did a really funny skit of a black doctor trying to get his relatives to get the jab. None of them would.
I remember he talked HCL, but I don’t remember him talking Ivermectin.
I agree.
I’m not against vaccines. I’m against the Covid shot.
“How can Republicans be against the vaccine, when a Republican created it, and proudly proclaims it?”
No, a republican did not create it. Trump trusted a lot of evil hanger’s on from previous admins and got burnt.
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 there life unfortunately.
What exactly did operation warp speed do?
I don’t remember any death certificates I’ve read mentioning political party affiliation. I might be wrong. I do know many on both sides were forced by employers to get the vax. I’m glad I was retired. Saved me from telling my boss to Gulf Foxtrot Yankee or GFY.
Thanks.
“that Republicans in positions of power led the movement against COVID vaccination”
Without stating the evidence - naming names - that is a claim without foundation.
“that hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated Americans have died preventable deaths from the disease”
There is no such foundation for the claim that being unvaccinated was a primary cause of death from a Covid illness. The largest number of deaths from a Covid illness are neither due to being unvaccinated or vaccinated, but are most likely to have occurred with one or more comorbidity factors - which was and has been the case from the beginning.
“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.”
THAT is a a slanderous claim without foundation.
The author totally disproves her own anti-GOP arguments, with this:
“Breaking down the cost of vaccine hesitancy would be simple if we could draw a causal relationship between Republican leaders’ anti-vaccine messaging and the adoption of those ideas by Americans, and then from those ideas to deaths due to non-vaccination. Unfortunately, we don’t have the data to do so. Individual vaccine skepticism cannot be traced back to a single source, and even if it could, we don’t know exactly who is unvaccinated and what their political affiliations are.”
And ditto!
When the government affirmatively blocks information about adverse side effects of a vaccine, it can be deductively reasoned that the side effects are real and serious, and must be extensive. The effort to hide such evidence is, by itself, damning. To me, that fact alone is enough to make me skeptical about its efficacy. Lies will eventually be exposed in the light of day and expire; only the truth must be feared.
Operation Warp Speed allowed mRNA treatments to bypass a lot of the safety protocols and extensive testing that had gone into previous vaccines/treatments.
I’m not at mad at you. I’m just calling you out for being stupid which you are for carrying leftwing propaganda. You might as well post the Beijing People’s Daily
