Too many Americans now don’t trust the credentialed “elitists” with their graduate degrees and years of research. They’d rather go with the charismatic dunce who cheated his way through high school and can barely speak in complete sentences.

Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”

They are literally being deceived to death.

    The country was opened back up before Biden was president.

    “Thanks, Biden” is the new “Thanks, Obama,” apparently.

      Nice revisionism, not long before Biden was sworn in liberals were up in arms about schools opening back up, restaurants relaxing indoor seating, airline travel, etc. Then crickets the moment Biden continued Trump and red state protocols regarding everything being opened up.

          There was a vaccine when Democrats were whining about trump and DeSantis opening shit back up. Partisan politics is toxic as fuck

            The vaccination rates were still too low at the time because Republicans are stupid as fuck.

                The study revealed that two or more weeks after the second dose, participants’ risk of infection dropped by a whopping 90%. The CDC researchers also found that 80% of participants in the U.S were protected against COVID-19 after just one dose.

                More like the average Republican MAGAt is too stupid to understand that 90% and 80% don’t equal 100%, or to understand that it later evolved into a new variant that was far more transmissible but with less severe symptoms.

                All this time later and you idiots still don’t understand the concept of efficacy.

                    I applaud your optimism, but I’m staying open to the likelihood that he’s also very ignorant and dumb.

                Oh yes. They’re the same. Misunderstanding that a new vaccine doesn’t act like other vaccines vs. recommending horse dewormer and talking about ingesting disinfectant. Lol, got a real big thinker over here

                Edit-Nevermind. Just looked at your profile. -559 pts, hammer and sickle for your pic. Go fuck yourself.

            There’s a difference between a vaccine existing and how much of the population is vaccinated. Hard stuff to comprehend, I know.

      No services that I use were taking in person visits before late 2021. My kid didn’t go back to public school until Oct. 2021.
