Too true

 

An op-ed column by Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post.

Too many Republicans are taking covid-19’s side in the fight against the pandemic

    "But they [Gov. DeathSantis of Florida, Gov. Abbothole of Texas] are not exhorting their constituents that they have a “personal responsibility” to get vaccinated, wear masks or take other precautions. Rather, DeSantis and Abbott frame covid-prevention measures in terms of personal freedom. Their basic message: Your body, your choice, nobody else’s business.

    But that’s not true. Those who make the “personal choice” not to be vaccinated or not to mask up in appropriate settings are also making a choice to put others at risk. They can spread the coronavirus not just to other unvaccinated individuals, but also to those who can’t get vaccinated; those for whom the vaccines are less effective; and vaccinated people who might themselves not get seriously ill but could potentially pass the virus to more vulnerable members of their households."

Sadly, this is the state of the hardcore GOP in the USA right now.  All for none, and nothing for anyone else except for themselves.
