    I believe it. Conservatives generally distrust government. It isn't a stretch to imagine that they take government advise with a grain of salt. The government was incompetent in covid communication. I've been vaccinated but my wife won't do it. I understand her position completely. I don't agree with it but it makes sense.

    I saw a commercial on TV from government explaining that people who have been infected with covid and survived should still be vaccinated. The medical community will tell you that there is no reason for a person with natural immunity to be vaccinated. It is fake advice. It doesn't help their already poor credibility.

    Unvaccinated Americans Whiter, More Republican Than Vaccinated

    03 July, 2020

    Americans who say they will definitely not get vaccinated against COVID-19 are overwhelmingly white and Republican, according to polling by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

    None of them have been hard on the midwest and east. Climate has been quite normal.

    How does it make sense to endanger herself and those around her?

    Thanks for that. I couldn't see the segue clearly. One of my degrees is in math and you are correct. Anybody can find a stat on their position no matter what it is.

    I find it odd that there are less democrats, and even less republicans compared to independents, plus half the country isn’t even politically engaged at all, but some how covid vaccines are framed in a republican vs democrat narrative.
    I guess that’s what happens when every single important issue is politically weaponized.

    A new Washington Post-ABC News poll showed 74 percent of people who haven’t been vaccinated say they probably or definitely won’t get vaccinated — and that the divide fell sharply along party lines. According to the survey, 86 percent of Democrats have received at least one vaccine shot compared with 45 percent of Republicans. Only 6 percent of Democrats said they are not likely to get vaccinated, compared with 47 percent of Republicans, including 38 percent of Republicans overall who said they definitely will not get the vaccine.

    According to the above-mentioned KFF Poll, 58% of Republicans definitely will not get the vaccine.

    I have no quarrel with anyone who doesn't want to be vaccinated, however, if THEY/ANTI-VAX have also accused the DEEP STATE of slowing down Operation Warp, then in my book, THEY ARE HYPOCRITES.

    West Virginia GOP Governor Issues Blunt Warning To Unvaccinated

    West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) said people hesitant about receiving a COVID-19 vaccine are “not thinking right” and warned they are playing a “death lottery.”

    ...

    Raddatz asked Justice what he thought would encourage those who haven’t received the vaccine to do so.

    “I hate to say this, but what would put them over the edge is an awful lot of people dying,” he replied. “The only way that’s going to happen is a catastrophe that none of us want. And so we just got to keep trying.”

    It's not a fact, it's instagram nonsense.

    It’s fact. It’s caused heart issues in younger males.

    We are one nation of folks with the freedom to make up their own mind. Freedom of choice seems to really stick in the craw of the Authoritarians that inhabit the Left.

    So, link it. I don't see that, if it's true I have a young grandson to be concerned about.

    A nation of hypocrites, if today's anti-vaxxers have also accused the Deep State of slowing down Operation Warp Speed.

    So you think I'm like Jim Justice? That doesnt make any sense... I respectfully request that you stop beating around the bush and state clearly your point. I don't like making assumptions about other peoples obfuscated meanings, because when I have to assume, it makes an ass out of both u and me.

    That's not an argument. But could you make it into one by explaining why you don't think freedom is the right to do what others think is wrong?
