The jury is still out:

In Jul 2021 the CDC said that both vaccinated and unvaccinated have the same viral load

From the CDC update Sept 15:
“Infections with the Delta variant in vaccinated persons potentially have reduced transmissibility than infections in unvaccinated persons, although additional studies are needed.”

They don’t know

You know you're a lowlife when you start measuring things like sicknes and death by projecting what you think someones politics are, comparing it to your own, and assuming a moral highground. I'm in CA so I get COVID it's the BLUE sides fault, right?

Have you seen the 2020 election map, or any map showing the counties won by Republicans?

It is really pathetic how the Wuhan virus has become so political, that people are charting death rates based on who they voted for.

It is beyond crazy on these forums. But in real medical life and death we deal in risk factors. And right now a blue/conservative vote is a risk factor due to the associated ideological choice of not vaccinating.

It is really pathetic that there is politics at all with vaccinations, in that the vax deaths should be equal between red and blue areas. That is the rub. The Republican party and spokespeople like Aaron Rodgers should be paying for the funerals of all those unvaccinated who believed them in this.

no one has ever told you that you weren't allowed to wear a mask.

As a vaccinated liberal, are you OK with your 0.18% chance of dying?

This demonstrated that you can only trust a vaccine if your preferred president is in power, and you can only trust CDC and NIH if your preferred president is in power.
This is 100% true......

Democrats turned this into political football right from the very first day
