At this point, since around 97% of adults have had the jab or the virus...AND...the re-vaccination/booster rate is looking pretty low...AND...the current variants do not have the mortality rates of the initial virus...

What does it matter, but ego points?

Not much. He's just trying to poke his finger in someone's eye.

Ax has great compassion for those dead Trump voters and weeps for them and their loved ones.

People have. They would rather take a higher risk and live free.

Respect those who are honest about willing to take higher risk to live free. Not so much for those who deny that the risk really is higher for refusing vaccination and refusing to observe public health measures such as indoor masking and social-distancing.

Also to note that while one is entitled to take on higher risks for oneself, one should be mindful not to transfer or otherwise impose that higher risk onto others, such as the immuno-compromised, the elderly, those who are allergic to or otherwise ineligible to receive the vaccines, etc.
