It’s an interesting strategy though I wonder, if his own internal polling starts to show what the OP’s linked survey shows, what then?
Abbott encourages people to get the vaccine. He just won’t allow mask mandates and government forcing businesses to close. He also won’t force people to get the vaccine because it’s a free country. It seems simple to me. Get the vaccine if you want and if others don’t want to that’s on them.

As for illegals being allowed to come here and being allowed to travel anywhere they want without quarantine after a positive test, that’s utter bs and you know it. You or I would get in trouble if we did that but these people get a free pass? American citizens have rights and should not be demonized or forced to take experimental vaccines because illegal aliens are being allowed to do what our citizens aren’t allowed to do.

Most people don’t watch cable news.
"Across nearly all states that have released demographic data, Black and Hispanic residents are getting vaccinated at lower rates than White people"

Also, younger people, in their 20's and 30's is another under vaccinated group.

The least likely to be vaccinated are members of the most Democratic racial group.
They want tariffs. They want to restrict the actions of big tech. They want to interfere with the rights of businesses to operate their business as they choose.

Hmmm, most of those southern states have the largest black populations. So weird.

Oh wait, blacks are the least likely race to be fully vaccinated.

Perhaps the mainstream propaganda media will weaponize that in their reporting. Oh wait, they tend to vote blue and wokeness and all of that means they won't.

Oh well. Some facts are just too inconvenient to a good propaganda narrative meant to be weaponized against the media's enemies.

I think a lot of people thought that herd immunity would hit before they needed to get vaccinated. They probably would have been right had it not been for the more contagious delta strain.

At any rate, if anyone on this board doesn't get the flu shot every year, then they have no leg to stand on criticizing those who don't get the Covid vaccine.

It is 100% FACT, I posted the proof here many times.


"So, it appears that the Trump administration’s contracts with drugmakers did cover enough doses to vaccinate the entire U.S. adult population — and then some. By that measure, Biden’s statement is inaccurate."

Correct Biden is a liar.

Trump left office with 1 billion vaccine doses under contract - the most in the world. We have a population of about a third of a billion.

https://www.factcheck.org/2021/02/bi...accine-boasts/

About a year ago, I saw the mainstream propaganda media attacking Trump for not ordering enough of a certain type of vaccine. I then researched it, found out that he ordered hundreds of millions of doses from many different types (not knowing in advance which would succeed) and then CORRECTLY predicted that the mainstream propaganda media would then attack him for ordering too much while developing countries lacked the vaccines. Bingo. The propaganda is so easy to see if you are outside of the flock.

Inconvenient facts that must be avoided so you can weaponize vaccines.
Blacks are 12% of the population, if you further break that up, they trend younger than whites, this is true for hispanics as well, so a younger population will get inoculated less, and again they represent a small fraction of the population.

Only 25% of Americans identify as Republicans.

Much smaller than the Black/Hispanic/millennial numbers combined.

If this is about shaming people who are unvaccinated as killing others than it doesn't matter the ages of the groups. What this is really about is the mainstream media being propaganda for the Democrats by selectively choosing which groups to weaponize their reporting against.
