Officials say an individual who tested positive for the virus in West Texas traveled to two major universities and one of the nation's busiest tourist attractions — the San Antonio River Walk.

    Maybe we’ll have another pandemic, and we can convince all the republicans that they shouldn’t get vaccinated, and it’ll solve some problems for us.

      Not a pandemic. It would be limited to America. In other places, the population is being vaccinated against it.

      They died at a two to ratio to liberals from COVID. Shouldn’t be that hard.

        Do you have a source on that? I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson getting a bunch of heat for claiming 5:1, although that may have used different criteria.

        Edit: It was 5:1 according to https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/neil-degrasse-tyson-vax-tweet/

        Also no source indicated.

          Fair question

          https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2807617

          Found about 43% difference

          https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study

          Yale found about 76% so my numbers are even high at 2:1.

          But still despite the ratio there’s definitely a trend in vaccine attitudes relative to political leanings or social conservatism.
