99% of those dying are unvaccinated disbelieving GQPers. Conservative Republicans have and continue to be driven from the party. Who will be left to spread their lies?
Lot’s of the GQP have started advocating for vaccination. They all read the polling and found they needed to be, at some point, on the correct side of history.
From the Governor of Alabama: “Let’s be crystal clear about this issue. And media, I want you to start reporting the facts. The new cases of COVID are because of unvaccinated folks. Almost 100% of the new hospitalizations are with unvaccinated folks. And the deaths are certainly occurring with the unvaccinated folks. These folks are choosing a horrible lifestyle of self-inflicted pain,” Gov. Ivey said during an event for Landing in Birmingham Thursday.
When asked how the state can get more shots into the arms of residents, Ivey did not hold back her displeasure with the lack of success previous plans have had.
“I don’t know, you tell me. Folks are supposed to have common sense. But it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the vaccinated folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down,” she said. “I’ve done all I know how to do. I can encourage you to do something but I can’t make you take care of yourself.
So the bean counters finally have a voice.. took a while and contributed to more than a few deaths. Now, if they would also denounce trump their fortunes just might improve.. (assuming there is also some housekeeping)
Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day, I guess. I was speaking with a friend from church on the phone and we were talking about how Delta is spreading fastest in the least vaccinated states. She said that if enough MAGATs get seriously ill (or even die) from the Delta variant, that could mean that the Democrats could expand their majorities in both houses of Congress. That should really tick off Tucker Carlson and Dr. Laura! Then again, I’ve also heard that in those Delta hit states, vaccinations are now above the national average. Plus those MAGA voters getting vaxxed in secret. So, God willing, the Delta variant will peak and start to recede in the next few weeks as more get vaccinated. Reason eventually penetrates all but the thickest of skulls.
The right railed against covid restrictions, because they made it look like the Trump administration wasn’t protecting us. Then they railed against vaccination, because Biden had won and that made the vaccines something from the Democratic administration. (It mattered not a whit that the vaccines were developed during the Trump administration; it was really all about encouraging distrust of the Biden administration.) Now that it’s obvious the vaccine works and most of those dying are the people who listened to this advice, they’re realizing it’s their own voters being killed off and suddenly they want people to get vaccinated again.
And they have the unmitigated gall to accuse science of having inconsistent messaging.
Unvaccinated people who are hospitalized with COVID suddenly decide the vaccination is a good thing – and suddenly want it… sadly, at that point it’s too late and won’t help them… it’s a preventative measure – not a cure.
I keep hearing the antivaxers say it’s their choice to not get vaccinationed. Fine. It is my choice to get drunk off my ass too. In either case, staying home while in that state is the only responsible choice. They always sound like their next sentence will be, “If I don’t want to stop at a red light, it is my choice.”
Since first appearing in India in late 2020, the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has become the predominant strain in much of the world. Researchers might now know why Delta has been so successful: people infected with it produce far more virus than do those infected with the original version of SARS-CoV-2, making it very easy to spread. A study of some of the first people in China to be infected with Delta showed that their viral load — a measure of the density of viral particles in the body — was roughly 1,000 times higher than in people infected with the original coronavirus strain.
1000 times! Yipes! Keep wearing your masks folks!
Oh and for the idiots who say masks do no good — how was your flu season last year? Really awful, wasn’t it? /end sarc
The masking, the hand sanitizers, the social distancing, are effective at cutting down the transmission of the virus. With the delta variant producing a much heavier viral load, you need to do everything to reduce the transmission that you can.
You have the right to remain silent . . . because you’re dead thanks to listening to your favorite entertainment channel. Now wasn’t that entertaining, but yet sad. A comedy of errors by mutual idiots.
