i accept the fact there are people who dont trust government.
what i find hard to accept is using that as a reason not to get vaccinated.
the government didn't invent vaccines.

Good point. Despite its regulatory and enforcement authority and responsibility, government is only one of several messengers in support of mass vaccination.
But I do agree, it is political or so it is where I live. Thankfully, the argument that vaccine mandates violate the Nuremberg Accord rings hollow and just isn’t convincing to most folks to support the cause.

Now, let’s say that a few districts in Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee had .05% lower turnout and Donald Trump won the election. What would those vaccination numbers by party look like? My bet is that the Republican numbers would be about the same and the Democrat numbers would be far lower, as it would have well and truly been considered a Trump vaccine.

Well, that's just re-emphasising how stupid people are.

@lufins-dad no I bet the Republican numbers would be higher. And yes the Democrats lower. Phibes is so right. People are stupid.

The entire anti-vaccination movement is based on people being fucking idiots.
I know, I know, we're supposed to embrace diversity, and everybody has a right to their own opinion. Still, they're fucking idiots.

Yep. I'd amend that to say that folks who have no problem with the vaccines, but for medical reasons have either decided or have been advised not to get one themselves, don't fit into that category.
But yeah, exceptions aside, morons.

Sure, there are medical reasons, and there may be other valid reasons too, but as a movement, it's not humanity's finest hour. And I don't mean just Covid, but the whole anti-vaccination bollocks.

Does that include the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential election who said they would never take a "Trump vaccine?"

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Sure. It was an incredibly stupid, and also a highly cynical thing to say. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Any other questions?

Unlike the ones where you need a booster shot, it's the one where they give you one really annoying prick.

Think y'all missed a big'un.
Country folks are vaccinated at lower rates, especially among younger people. There's several reasons at play.
- Country folks are conservative, for the most part. While most of the older people are vaxxed, a lot of the younger ones have adopted a wait and see attitude.
- COVID doesn't seem to be quite as rampant as in town. Maybe it's because country folks are more spread out and probably outside more.
- Country folks tend to be more religious, at least down here. Maybe it's fatalism or maybe it's a deep faith in the afterlife, but many simply refuse to live in fear. If they get it, they get it. They get better or die. If they die, there's something better on the other side.
