Did your uncle-in-law tell you about the emails or did you read them all yourself?

That’s the narrative you were fed, and swallowed whole.
Maybe so, but if you think that public schools didn't reopen this past fall for health reasons, and not political reasons, I suggest you do some more research. I'd recommend you look into the American Academy of Pediatrics and National Academy of Medicine recommendations last year vs. UTLA and SDUSD pronouncements. Particularly the timing of the school unions pronouncements in relation to Newsom's declaration regarding continued school closures.

Nearly all COVID deaths in US are now among unvaccinated
Nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the United States now are in people who weren’t vaccinated, a staggering demonstration of how effective the vaccines have been and an indication that daily deaths — now down to under 300 — could be practically zero if everyone eligible got the shots.

Undervaccinated red states are nowhere near herd immunity as dangerous Delta variant spreads
Many conservative-leaning U.S. states and communities are nowhere near reaching the level of COVID-19 vaccination that could keep them safe from future outbreaks of the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant, according to the latest data from the CDC.
That's very funny coming from you. Keep sucking on the blue pill.

Who fuels the decisions? 73 mil listened to 1 man, a political hack. The rest it’s a mix with a high dose of experts sprinkled in. Are saying there is no political push from the “it’s a hoax””it’s not that bad””it will over by Easter” anti-vax crowd? Mistakes are made on both sides but prefer those that err on the side of protection with an eye to the overall good, or is that to lovey dovey for you?

There is nothing humorous about your ignorance and naïveté.
There are certainly some far righties that are anti-vax. In those southern states you also have a higher percentage of minorities which are really behind in vaccinations. There is also lower socio-economic communities in those areas which I also suspect have lower vaccinations rates due to less access to healthcare and often don't seek out healthcare as regularly as higher socioeconomic groups. In the mountain states they tend to be more independent and suspicious of government.

Not sure how you resolve this, but these states certainly need to do a better of encouraging there citizens to be vaccinated. Of course, people do have the choice to assume risk.
I suggest you take a look at the sources I mentioned, it will give you a better understanding of the concept of "overall good". My whole point all along is that not reopening schools was not for the overall good. Myopic is only considering Covid outcomes.
In my experience trolls generally fall into 2 forms of people: 1) people who are trying to be funny since they find conflict humorous and amuse themselves the way a boy would by disturbing an ant hill, or 2) generally unpleasant people who are inadequate in other aspects of their lives and so seek to obtain a modicum of standing/power online. If you are the first, you are a woeful failure at it (which makes your line stunningly lacking in any introspection). If the second, hah! good job being you....that blue pill must be mighty tasty.
Nor the hypocrisy that you demonstrate!
I would add...do you want to play the blue state vs. red state game with deaths per capita? Death, vaccines and other Covid outcomes are primarily demographic related and not political. I know the article is enticing clickbait for a partisan, but it is hardly based in reality.Undervaccinated red states are nowhere near herd immunity as dangerous Delta variant spreads

That's interesting seeing as the opposite is happening elsewhere.
SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation (publishing.service.gov.uk)
On just about any measuring scale, people can be divided into two types -- those who can be placed on one of the two sides, and those who can't.

You have issues, not my issue.
I'm now beginning to wonder exactly how big that blue pill you are sucking on really is....whatever it is, it's certainly mind bending enough that it's probably illegal here in the US.
