Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”

They are literally being deceived to death.

    Yet in the end Biden adopted DeSantis’ approach to COVID control, ignore it exists, stop testing and the numbers will go down, open everything and let herd immunity take over, and let it run rampant

      Things were clearly different after the vaccines, though. It’s a much different disease to those who have been vaccinated and boosted.

        This is what happened. We have vaccines now, and masks are readily available. We also learned that many jobs can be done remotely. They tried as hard as they could to educate the constituents. People already picked their sides and are as informed as they are going to get.

        So if you want to keep yourself safe, great. If you want to be crippled by or die of a preventable disease, have at it. Freedom for all.

      Aside from the free vaccines and ad campaigns trying to get people to get the updated shot this fall. I’ve seen that TV spot a dozen times, and I barely watch TV.

      It’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated – Biden 2021

      3 weeks later my triple vaccinated ass got COVID and I’ve struggled to work, exercise, and generally live ever since.

      Biden betrayed us with that bullshit and should have dropped that line when Omicron came out, but he doubled down for weeks and sent people to their slaughter.

        What was this, Jill Biden’s 5th or 6th time getting it? Identity politics is getting people killed and they blame others for the deaths. They try to credit vaccines with lower deaths when it’s the virus mutating to not kill its hosts.
