votes...sadly, most of those being sacrificed are Republicans who have no idea what's happening to them.
Again...the same physicians and scientists who helped us all through previous pandemics and viral outbreaks before are applying their knowledge and skills to COVID-19...that didn't change...what did change was the arrival of one Mr. Donald Trump and his narcissistic need to "Slow Play" the disease in hopes of keeping his re-election chances high (weird, I know, but he is that foolish). Now his Base is all riled up and can't be controlled...therefore, the GOP needs to pander to them...that's my take.

1. They know DeSantis is the best thing for Trumpism without Trump.
2. Vax or unvax is outdated argument from pandemic perspective. They know no unvax will get vaxxed after almost 1 year watching from sideline. Now It's booster or unbooster time. It's meaningless to ask for more vaccination. So, they take vaccination as an act of political allegiance and make it a partisan issue, not a freedom issue. They know they will lose argument if it is a freedom issue.

excerpt gets to the crux of the matter...
"The allegations against Danchenko make the sourcing of Steele’s reports look more “troubling,” said John Sipher, who served the CIA in Moscow around the same time Steele was stationed there in the early 1990s. But he also stressed that Steele’s overall thesis — that Russia was attempting to influence the election — has been substantiated by the U.S. intelligence community."
That's all Mr. Steele was trying to convey...Russia was working to get their favorite...Donald Trump...elected...and numerous subsequent interactions with the Trump campaign, indictments and convictions bear that out.
You are definitely on the wrong side of this...what true American would look favorably on Vladimir Putin's choice for President?

....They have lied to accomplish the correct goal, and they got caught. They have overextended recommendations by not following the advice of their own advisory committees made up the leading experts in the field of vaccines and COVID (ex booster recommendations in Aug & Sept 2021). They have thereafter culled these panels to fit the politically motivated answer that they want. They have over-promised the effectiveness of the vaccine as a prevention of acquiring COVID rather than as a protection against dying from the virus. They have put forth a man as the face of their effort who blatantly lied to congress, and who was involved in US funds being directed toward Chinese viral research at their viral weapons lab in Wuhan. They have also put forth a man with a financial stake in the vaccine development. They have pedaled fear to achieve their goals. They have tried to force the vaccine on people by removing their livelihood which has naturally been counterproductive and led to even greater mistrust. They have been found to be in violation of the US constitution by the courts in their mandate efforts (it is assault to force a treatment on an unwilling patient). The leaders of this administration, the party, and it's prominent governors have not followed their own rules yet expect others to live by them. They have refused to challenge China on it's release of this virus to the world (at minimum the air travel to the west being allowed when it was restricted in China, and very likely the development of the virus itself at Wuhan).

Ironic, yet very consistent with liberal thinking.
Liberalism Rule # 1 - accuse others of that which you yourself are/do (in this case selfish behavior at the expense of vaccination).
The simple fact, as I have pointed out before, is that the audience to be reached does not trust your salesman. But like Brian Kelly in a hurricane, you'll be damned if you'll change them out for someone that they trust more. "Get used to it!"
Meanwhile, people die from not being vaccinated.
like a good time to get started...pick one.
As the article says, "there is no better predictor of a person’s vaccination status than partisanship."
Can't be GOP leadership! Can't be Trump! Has to be someone else....has to be Fauci.
Give me a break.
selfish. You're also using mind reading powers to delve my motives. Stupid.
I just want more people vaccinated. This is the easiest way, and it isn't even unconstitutional ( or do you get your rocks off forcing people?)
There is absolutely no harm in trying it other than your deity would have to step aside. But hey, you feel that is too high a price to save lives.
I know these people a LOT better than you. They are intelligent, and they are understandably distrustful of this political huckster that is Anthony Fauci.

to question Fauci. His army of idiots will rise up against you.
engaged in.
I am now highly suspicious that they really don't mind a low vax rate since it helps them politically.
We white folk should renounce everything we own and return to the lands of our ancestors and lockdown until the CCP gives us permission to breath (but not speak!) in public
And by the way our forefathers were both racist and sexist. As was everyone else during that time.
