There have been many studies showing that, as vaccines became available, there were increasingly more deaths from COVID-19 in Republican enclaves with Republican leaders compared to majority Democrat areas with Democratic political leadership.
The main reason, if you weren't aware of this? The anti-vax know-nothingness of the Republican leadership led to much lower vaccination rates among the Republican populace compared to where the Democrats lived and led.
This remarkable dichotomy was well-illustrated recently in Florida.
Republican-controlled Florida county with nearly 240K COVID-19 cases bans vaccine
Some quoted excerpts:
A. "Florida’s Lee County Republican Party took a vote and passed its anti-science resolution titled “Ban the Jab.” The measure bans the sale and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine and is now headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk."
B. “This is the first time that we’ve seen a state government weaponize bad science to spread anti-vaccine disinformation as official policy,” David Gorski, a surgical oncologist, and debunker of anti-vaccine misinformation wrote in an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times. He added that the move by [Florida Surgeon General] Ladapo was “a dangerous new escalation in anti-vaccine propaganda.”
C. The mostly-white Lee County boasts a population of around 780,000 people. There’ve been nearly 240,000 cases of COVID and 2,550 deaths, The New York Times reports.
So pay attention, those of you out there reading this, who possess rationality; Ladapo is the kind of gjy that a President DeSantis (perish the thought) would choose for his Cabinet. And that's very, very bad, because we already had a great demonstration of incompetent and fraudulent Cabinet members in the Trump administration.
