COVID-19 - On the Ground

[Deleted User 863]

I see Republicans wear masks all the time.

I also see Dems pull their mask up for pictures and then pull it right back down around their chin.

How many Dems refuse to answer whether they’re vaxxed?

or compare vaccines to concentration camps?

We can Whataboutism ourselves in circles all day...

[ousdahl]

No, this isn’t whataboutism.

Overwhelmingly it’s only one side being assholes and fucking it up for everybody.

It's not though.

You do realize black and hispanic communites, who largely vote Dem, have low vaccination rates, right?

[Deleted User 863]

And LOL @ fucking it up for everybody. You can get covid multiple times. You can get covid after being vaccinated. You can spread covid after being vaccinated.

The people refusing the vaccine certainly aren't helping, but they're far from solely to blame.

You can get in a car accident while driving safely. I guess we can't blame wreckless drivers or drunk drivers for causing accidents?

What an absolutely stupid fucking way of thinking.

When you look at regulations both in the US and the rest of the world, vaccination rate is clearly the stat that is doing the most to move us out of the pandemic.

Not to mention it saves lives and trazillions of dollars.

What republicans have refused to admit publicly they're vaccinated?

Everyone from Trump to Hannity have publicly admitted they're vaccinated.

Is that a serious question? If so and you really care, a simple Google search MIGHT help answer it.
I know a couple of months ago there was a "push" in the House for Republicans to NOT divulge their vaccine status.

Their push was about medical privacy, which until now has always been a thing most people thought was good in many/most instances.

Like i said, Hannity Tucker and loads of other Republicans are on TV every single day admitting they're vaccinated. I've never felt being vaccinated was a "loser" move for Republicans, only that a vaccine mandate for covid specifically was a "loser" move for Republicans.

Right or wrong, I feel the main objective of their push was to be assholes. Medical privacy or not.
Why would and should anyone be ashamed/embarrassed to admit they were vaccinated?
As far as Hannity and Carlson, two questions. 1) What Republican political office do they hold? 2) When did Carlson say he was vaccinated?

why do i have to declare publicly my vaxx status. why does anybody have to declare publicly their vaxx status.

why did lebron james have to hold a press conference yesterday to declare publicly his vaxx status.

[jhawks99]

You don't, he didn't.

We can and should (and do) blame wreckless drivers and drunk drivers for causing accidents....but we can't blame them for ALL accidents and we can't blame them for driving being an activity that carries risk.

Stupid analogy.

You don't have to declare publicly your vax status - but why wouldn't you?
I don't feel anyone should have to publicly declare their vax status - but why wouldn't they want to?
As far as your LeBron question - A) He didn't hold a press conference to declare his vax status and B) I assume you must not be aware of the current "rules" and "mandates" for NBA players and the cities they play in. Is that a safe assumption?

I don't watch much Tucker but i have seen him reference that he is vaccinated numerous times on his show.

Those are facts about covid.

I am dumb for stating facts? Scientifically proven facts.

Serious questions. Numerous times? Really? Would you give me $1000 if I could prove he hasn't "numerous times"?

are all nba players going to hold a press conference to declare their vaxx status.

i watched lb's press conference. my take away was he did not want to get the vaxx. he got it because he had to. which is fine. but i did not get the feeling he would have gotten the shot if his employer did not force him to.

Actually this is verifiably false. Kaiser Family Foundation released a study yesterday which showed that nationally the adult vaccination rate is around 72% and the rates for whites, blacks and Hispanics were within a percent of each other. However the partisan split is starker. Dems are 90% while Reps are 58%.

I won't pay you anything, but i have literally watched/heard him say he's vaccinated. So don't waste your time.
