Your Political Presuppositions May be Dangerous to Your Health

My tongue in cheek speculation for which there is no evidence is that Covid-19 vaccine resistance may be a liberal conspiracy for suppression of Republican voters, extrapolated from these lines from the New York Times (that voice of loser liberals), November 8, 2021.

[The Covid-19 vaccines] proved so powerful, and the partisan attitudes toward them so different, that a gap in Covid’s death toll quickly emerged.

In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from Covid, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties (7.8 per 100,000).

The vaccines are remarkably effective at preventing severe Covid, and almost 40 percent of Republican adults remain unvaccinated, compared with about 10 percent of Democratic adults.
