Bad News Thread

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.
 
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?
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.
 
There is nothing humorous about your ignorance and naïveté.

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.
 
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.

Hopefully I qualify under 1).
 

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.

It's more than just a few anti vax far right folks.

WSJ put the Dem vax rate at 80% and the Rep vax rate at 50%.

Not surprising. If you listen mostly to Fox, you probably think covid is minor, so why get vaccinated? Flip side, if you read only NYT, you overestimate the risk and get vaccinated ASAP.
