RFK Jr. promised. He promised! Boy I didn’t see that one coming…
A lot of people I’ve talked to know people who are sick or are sick themselves. I’m expecting Republicanitis to be the norm going forward.
It means that Republican voters are going to shrink
It means medically vulnerable people are going to “shrink”. The flu doesn’t care how you voted.
True but hopefully medically vulnerable people will remember to get their flu vaccine without a campaign to remind them.
I never needed a campaign to remind me…
No. There are tons of people who require others to get vaccinated and rely upon herd immunity.
There are people who can’t get the vaccine due to allergies, or for whom the vaccine is ineffective due to underlying health conditions or medications that they have to be on to not die. And sometimes a vaccine just plain doesn’t work.
More flu circulating in the community means more chances for them to die.
Good point.
Although in fairness, it’s not republicans, it’s magats. Traditional republicans are people I strongly disagree with but they’re not dumb: they will get vaccinated. The magats though, that’s a different story.
Raisinhead isn’t gonna stop me from having my kids protected from covid or the flu. I’ll take a day trip to Canada if we have to.
Fucking jackass.
He is, though, because the real protection is in herd immunity, not just your individual children being vaccinated themselves.
That’s the infuriating thing. These assholes are hellbent on killing so many Americans. They are happy to kill others for their beliefs in how things work.
