The death gap between Democrats and Republicans was larger in counties with lower vaccination rates.

I wonder what a republican thinks when they read a study like this. Especially the jerks that argued with cashiers during that time.

They'd be very upset if they could read

Depends. The fascist wing will just cry fake news. The moderates will just point at the fascist wing.

Probably similar to the whole "narcissist prayer"

“See? I told you that doctors don’t care about you: look at how they do everything they can for vaxxers but the SECOND they hear you’re questioning, they don’t give a shit about you. Fucking sick.”

I'm someone that would be Republican if the GOP hadn't lost their fucking minds. You could call me a conservative.

Presumably you can already tell what I think. Those fucking idiots, I hope the contingent of that party dies off quickly enough that reasonable conservatives can salvage what's left.

Anyone who is conservative but doesn’t want to buy into all of the anger and outrage all the time really doesn’t have a party right now.

You're not wrong. And it's worse for the people who think like I do. We've been labeled "neoliberals", a term I'm not exactly a fan of and labeled centrists. In fact we're quite the opposite. We're so conservative it starts to look liberal again, bordering on anarchocapitalism (which is more where I find myself).

You think shit like this ever makes it to their eyes with the comfortable protective bubble they've built around themselves?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They will just say it's fake news.

Republicans don't read studies, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What they think and what they’ll admit publicly are two different things. Look at Fox News, when this data started to come out in 2021 they started begging their viewers to get vaccinated because they realized it could cost elections.

They'll claim its because doctors weren't treating people if they weren't vaxxed. They were making claims like this during the height of the pandemic so now they just have evidence to prove it, obviously.

Remember when doctors/hospitals were getting paid if they claimed covid as the cause of death even for people who died in an accident? I member.
