This whole anti-vax population has gotten completely swayed by lies, misinformation and conspiracies flamed by ignorance and the Trump administration.

Well, they are paying the price now and unfortunately dragging others down with them.



Re bolded, FALSE.



Trump followed Fauci's lead, just as Biden is doing right now. Was it "misinformation" when Biden claimed on May 13, 2021, that if you're vaccinated, you don't need to wear a mask? Was it ignorance when Kamala said that she wouldn't take the vaccine b/c Trump?

Most instances of vaccine hesitancy is due to the drug still being listed as experimental. In addition, Biden has allowed over a million illegals to invade our country, not knowing who they are. So darn dangerous yet for some reason, he is putting the safety of Americans last, not first as he promised to do when he took the oath of office.

So progressives, what about that? Are you concerned about the thousands pouring across the border right now, and being transported to cities around the country?

And if not, why not?

Throw in lies that FoxNews just recently flipped to pro-vaccine.
Please, Hannity, Graham, Carlson and Fox & Friends have been a source of misinformation for a year, of course they were vaccinated but they continued the rants. Yes there are are some republicans that see through their nonsense.

The GOP has been silent for months, but they finally woke up. You left out evangelicals by the way and 54% of republicans that watch Fox News is nothing to brag about but no link to your survey.

Yes they just flipped and said get the vaccine while pulling everyone in the wrong direction for months.

Being purposely obtuse serves little purpose. Have a look at the thoughtful analysis I linked.

Covid-19 has proven itself to be so mutable that it can possibly outrun herd immunity.

It may be the super-virus all mankind has worried about ever since the Spanish Flu threatened us with extinction the last time.

It has long been thought that 70% immunity to any virus was enough protection to bring herd immunity, the condition where a virus cannot survive because there is so few food sources available to it.
I'm sure that if we continue to be vaccinated, herd immunity will be reached eventually. It may require 80% to 90% vaccination rate to achieve herd immunity.

Every new victim teaches the Covid virus which variant works and which fails. Never forget that Delta is still Covid-19. All variants have the same potential lethality, as they are all essentially the same virus.

Now, I'm wondering if Covid can ever be eliminated into extinction like smallpox was. We all thought this was going to be a 500-yard dash, but it looks like it's turning into 500-mile marathon now.

We are extremely lucky we have the expertise and production facilities here. We have plenty of vaccine, and most of the world still doesn't have enough. Getting a booster shot is far less serious than watching everyone around you falling ill or dying.

Why bother posting.
Why did I bother responding.
Gosh this must be why Republican states are less vaccinated the Democrat ran ones. It must be the Democrats not getting vaccinated! By golly!

Meanwhile in reality-you are denying the facts. It doesnt make your argument look convincing at all.
