    Every poll says the same thing:

    Republicans believe COVID is a hoax in significant numbers (some even to the point of denying COVID as they die, unable to breathe)
    Republicans, way more than Democrats, refused to wear masks (thereby leading to the spread of COVID)
    Republicans, way more than Democrats, remain unvaccinated (thereby leading to an increase in variants and the spread of COVID)

    So why don't Republicans want America to recover from COVID?

          Crank,

          Thanks for providing your sources.

          The VOAnews link provides some interesting data.  It's obvious white, Republicans are less likely to get the vaccine.  Does this increase the spread of the disease?  It's important you realize even after having the vaccine, thousands of vaccinated people are dying from it. 

          Could part of it be that the survival rate for Covid is 99 percent? 

          https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/verif … 2b5265d8a8

          The USA today story is just an opinion piece.  South Dakota never had a lockdown and they did far better percentage wise with Covid cases and deaths when compared to California and New York who imposed ineffective suppressive methods to control Covid.

            99% of all COVID deaths currently are from unvaccinated people.

      "So why don't Republicans want America to recover from COVID?"

      Are we really so far apart in this country as to ask a nonsensical question as that?  Are we really so unwilling to listen to the "other side" (whatever it might be)?  Have we truly lost all sense of empathy and really don't care what people have to say, to the point of refusing to hear their words at all?

      Or were you just being sarcastic about a view/belief that you don't share?

          Of course you should.  How else can you understand what they are trying to communicate?  How else can you ever have even the smallest hope of convincing them otherwise if you don't understand what their perception is?

          Plus, of course, they might even convince you that you should not get poked!  You never know what might be learned if one just listens.

            Vaccines are one of the 20th century's greatest accomplishments. In my opinion, people who refuse to get vaccinated are idiots. And while they are within their rights, they should not have the right to put the rest of us in danger. If they don't want to get their children vaccinated, that's fine. They can be home schooled. They can have planes just for unvaccinated people.

            That said, the government does have a history of using certain groups as guinea pigs, so I can understand hesitancy by those groups.

            For the most part, the hesitancy is a lack of education, lack of trust in the government, and an anti-science prejudice.

            There's no convincing these people. As some of my links noted, even as they're dying, they're claiming COVID is a hoax.

            Perhaps we all just need to follow the Republican lead vis a vis masks - just throw caution to the wind and let the unvaccinated die. It's a form of Darwinism, after all.

              If you are vaccinated...why would you worry about someone who is not vaccinated?  If you have such faith in your vaccine, you shouldn't fear anyone who isn't vaccinated.  Your vaccine makes you immune...unless it doesn't.

                Mike, I've never heard one CDC official say that the vaccine makes a person immune to the virus. People in medical positions say that it prevents extreme cases and keeps people from going to the hospital, and inhibits the spread of the virus. I hear them say this during TV interviews on CNN and CBS, the channels I watch the most for news. The strange thing is when I try to source this online, I can't find a single source. The whole subject is too ambiguous, abstruse, and even obtuse. There seems to be a disparity in the freedom of the press and the censorship of online companies.

                Could this lead to some people's reluctance to get vaccinated?

                  The vaccine doesn't keep people from dying from Covid.  There are thousands of people who are vaccinated and still get Covid.  There are thousands of vaccinated people who have died from Covid. 

                  According to the CDC, you have a chance of experiencing an adverse reaction.

                  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc … vents.html

                  So, you take your chances.  Covid has a 99 percent survival rate.  So, what good is the vaccine?

                  Here's a story from the liberal MSN.  Yes, it points out that surviving it may require long hospital stays and unpleasant experiences.  Yet, people survive it.

                  "VERIFY: Yes, COVID-19 has a 99% survival rate but numbers don't tell the whole story"

                  https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medica … r-BB1gT2Tl

                  Again, what good is the vaccine?

                  Why?
                  At the end of 2020 world covid death were under 2 million. Since January vaccine roll out till end of july 4.2 world covid deaths. Governments, big Pharma and media are train liars. Except when Gates and Fauci tell you it will get far worst.

                    " The Fact of the matter is this: Since vaccines have been issued/rolled out, Covid19 deaths have doubled in speed."

                    "Officials stipulated that people would be able to fly for work or travel, provided they can prove they have had Covid 19, (and have the antibodies?) or that they have taken a double-vaccine dose. Unfortunately, airplane travel is impossible for the 99.5% who are not vaccinated. Why the restrictions?
                         Because, at the end of 2020, Covid 19 deaths, worldwide, were under 2 million, but during the January-July 2021 vaccine roll-out, there were 4.2 million Covid 19 deaths. (The deaths doubled!)

                    Members of Governments, Big Pharma and the Media are trained liars,
                    but Gates and Fauci do not lie when they proclaim it will get far worse."

      Crankalicious, you have asked an esoteric question, and nobody on this forum would believe me if I gave an honest esoteric answer. Everybody expressing an opinion, except a couple of us, are in-denial Republicans. I think some of them are fairly reasonable mainstream Republicans who don't want to accept the radical side of the GOP, which now seems to be running the party. Perhaps they should get off their duffs and take their party back. Like they are telling the Dems they should do with the radical socialists trying to take the Democrat Party. I think this country has a problem here with both parties. Each is trying to remove the splinter from its brother's eye while refusing to remove the log from its own eye.
      I don't believe we can deny that the radical side of the Republican party is an authoritarian bunch of controlling "do as I say, not as I do" people. If we let them win, they will take us back to the 1950s, which after growing up in that era, I see as one of the most hypocritical times in U.S. history.
      The only real productive thing about this era is that the politics, while doing their usual dirty deeds, didn't go about them with such hateful vigor.

        Lets march all those anti-vaxxers right into re-education camps and force those 100% proven safe and effective vaccines into them!

        I am with you my brother!  They have no right to risk our health and our lives by not being vaccinated!  Vaccinations ensure there will be no new outbreaks!

        These are the same fools that don't get their Flu shots and then spread the Flu to everyone!

        They are no better than animals, they do not deserve to be treated with human dignity, they have foregone any of their rights to freedom, liberty, or self-determination.

          The average vaccine takes 20 years to fully develop. Death and serious side effects are being covered up between the big pharma, political and big business huge profit. About One third of small businesses have gone under. Covid is not in the top ten ways to die.

          If only it was self-determination that we were talking about.  If this virus was not transmissible, then your sarcasm might be valid.  The issue is that these anti-vaxxers are putting others in danger, not just themselves.  That is far from self-determination.  Your freedom and liberty has limitations when they put others in mortal peril, and many laws exist as examples.

          There are plenty of places that require vaccinations to enter, such as public schools.  That you feel this is a new mandate or some draconian measure ignores the history of vaccines dating back to the 1850's.

          I just find it interesting that the same group that claims to be for America and the most patriotic are doing the most to cause the death of Americans and hurt the economic recovery of the country.  I don't find that patriotic, I find it simply selfish.

        Valeant: I agree with the article completely.  Oh well, there goes their gene pool.  It's natures way of taking care of those who are not willing to adapt to change.  The anti-vaxxers have great regret and remorse when they enter the hospital half dead. 

        Fear can be a great motivator. Once enough of them see their friends and family suffering and dying because they didn't get vaccinated, I'm hopeful they will come around and have a "come to Jesus moment."

        The problem in this country is the news.  Both sides are preaching to their choirs. Nobody is learning anything new.  It's all about bias confirmation and cognitive dissonance that makes both sides think they are doing the right thing.

        When in fact only one side is, the other side is being fed dangerous misinformation by Carlson, Ingraham, and Hannity, all for higher ratings and megabucks for them and Rupert Murdoch and Company. 

        Right now the GOP congress, with Trump as their cheerleader is concerned about one thing only and that is getting re-elected in the mid-terms. So they are playing to their anti-vaxxer base.  They are not concerned about the danger they are bringing to this country with their anti-vaxxer mantras and Trump rallies spreading the virus.

          Comically, with the Democrat congress the only thing that matters is keeping Trump, and his followers, out of politics.

          It is sad and pitiful that our "leadership" has degenerated to this point, but it certainly has.  The people, and their health and even lives, are strictly secondary to both sides of the political spectrum.  They are but pawns in the power struggle.

        Republicans are not the ones working against/ trying to destroy America.
        I don't know of anyone who believes that COVID is a hoax, but they sure believe it is being used against us, for a purpose.
        I must agree on the masks....nasty little things!
        There are many unknowns about the rushed through {for the sake of the elderly and sickly} vaccine and its long term effects on the young and the healthy. So the jury is still out on this one.

        Point being, I can go along with "reasonably accurate", wilderness.

        As for:

        "But what "every poll" does NOT ask is "do you wish America to remain in the COVID pandemic"....with the answer from most Republicans being "yes".

        Not a single American (with a brain and some sense) wishes us to remain in the COVID pandemic and at the same time, most know that it will never end (in some capacity) even if...they give in, to every dictate.

          Like the comment that Republicans wish the COVID pandemic to continue, the idea that Democrats are working to destroy America has no basis in reality.

          It is true that, in my opinion, many liberal goals and philosophies will do great damage to our country.  It is true beyond a shadow of a doubt that many would change what America is - that is the goal, after all.

          But no Democrat consciously sets out to "destroy America" or even "work against America" (perhaps excluding the BLM rioters such as those at CHAZ in Seattle or others bent on destruction, not building).

            Then what is the effect of not wearing a mask during the pandemic and not taking the vaccine now? And why do Republicans significantly outnumber Democrats in their unwillingness to wear a mask and their unwillingness to get vaccinated?

            https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandem … vaccinated

            I personally know a couple of people who refuse to get vaccinated. Both are white Democrats. They are just as responsible for the continued spread of COVID.

            If everyone got vaccinated, there would be no variants since it can't spread well enough among vaccinated people. Yet, people don't want to get vaccinated.

              wildernessposted 3 years agoin reply to this

              You need to be asking those that don't wear masks and don't get vaccinated, but I suspect that the answer you would get is "Nothing".  "Neither action had any effect on the fake COVID pandemic".

              And I would guess that the reason Republicans outnumber Democrats is because Republicans are much more concerned about personal freedom, much more willing to take responsibility for themselves rather than simply submit to the nanny state, and don't trust govt. committes (or govt paid scientists) to tell them the truth.

              LOL  I know two families that aren't vaccinated - both are Republicans and neither believes the numbers of people sick.

              You and I agree on the pandemic almost right down the line.  The only real difference is that I'm pretty pleased with the response by govt. (not so much the people) and you may not have been.  But that agreement has nothing to do with the motives of people refusing the vaccine or masks.  IMO, neither are trying to spread disease - that is the last thing any sane person would want.  They just disagree that their actions will do that.

          abwilliams;  The flu never ends, but most people get flu shots each year, that's because it mutates and the vaccine has to change along with it.

          The same thing can be said about COVID, it may never end, but that is all the more reason to get the vaccine and if it mutates beyond Delta then we have to get whatever it takes to live with it.  It is survival of the fittest.  Nature has it way of selecting those who are most fit to adapt to change.

            I've never gotten a flu shot, that is not to say that I never would, but, so far, I haven't had the flu. I am not on any meds, I am a very healthy person. As for COVID and the shots and the mandates...if you want to continue {beyond the initial shot(s)} with new, seemingly indefinite mask mandates and what looks to be turning into quarterly booster shots, taken every year indefinitely (good grief, somebody is and will forever be profiting) BUT, even so, with all of these measures...according to this current Admins. and Fauci and the CDC....there's no guarantee you won't still get COVID...but, whatever works best for you, personally, is what you should probably do.

              There are two Americas though depending on which news you subscribe to. One side presents your individual freedom to choose whether you wear a  mask and get the shot.  The other side shows unvaccinated people entering the hospital with severe illness' from the virus, some of which are dying.  They are full of profound regret that they and their families were never vaccinated.

              Only once took the flu shot and caught the flu. In Canada I have 30times greater chance of dieing from the flu in my lifetime, than of death by covid.
              After that, never took the flu shot and never got the flu. Most everyone who took the flu shot, got the flu.
              Same thing with covid vaccines as they have doubled the speed of covid deaths and many self proclaim experts like Kill Gates and Faucism says it will get, much worst as they design it to come true.

              No high profits in keeping people healthy.
              Gates tells investor, lets get 20times our profit on vaccines.

                "In Canada I have 30times greater chance of dieing from the flu in my lifetime, than of death by covid."

                Again such a statement would be all the better for a rigorous study on COVID deaths over a lifetime, given no vaccine.  So far the numbers indicate a MUCH better chance of dying by COVID...unless you compare a one year death toll to one of 80 years.

    96% of all deaths from COVID have been from ...
    unhealthy people.

      That's absolutely false.

      But strangely, I don't disagree that much disease in this country is due to the many bad things people put in their bodies and lack of exercise, smoking; etc.

        The covid deaths are from 78% obese people. What Else would these covid victims be dying of? The id covid death certificate are only 6% purely covid deaths.

        I could get ban for this? Lol, like my last post unvaccinated Club. That was taken off.

    Report: More vaccine deaths last week than COVID-19 deaths

    The government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, contains voluntary, unverified reports of adverse events following immunization with U.S.-licensed vaccines.

    On Monday, the Washington Post reported the FDA is preparing to announce a new warning for the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine because it has been linked to a serious but rare side effect called Guillain-Barré syndrome.

    I think the big question is whether those who are unvaccinated should be treated in hospitals. Maybe they should be restricted to home care.

        "treated with drugs that have about the same history as far as being new"

        What drugs are you referring to?  Could you be more specific?

      Exactly Mike. This is the last thing Parents or anyone else should be worrying about. It has already taken much more than we should have ever allowed. I hope that doesn't need any further explanation!

      There is no US, without freedom!
      I don't care to hear any longer what we all must do, I want someone {China} and every other person who knew or was involved {Fauci} in what was(is) going on in that evil Wuhan Lab, to pay!!!!
      This Country, the world, has paid enough!
      My Mom died in a hospital, alone in I.C.U. the majority of the time, not because she wasn't loved..but because of this damned virus! She didn't have it, none of us had COVID, it mattered not, (the mini physicals we had with each visit to make sure we didn't) but because of the hysteria over COVID, it didn't matter that we were masked and cleared! Her life didn't matter. She could only have 1 visitor per day for a small window of time. We couldn't go in together for moral support. Her sisters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, church family, lifelong friends, neighbors, never got to see her again, never got to say goodbye (she went in for a fall) we thought she would just be in for one night initially.

          my story too.
          Only, none of us got to see her while she was in the physical rehabilitation center for the last month of her life.
          "No family members ever came." Did she understand?
          Augh.

            We are all overrun with pestilence in this current world, there are probably as many variants to the COVID-19 as there are letters in the alphabet. I afraid that the need to mask and watch your distance will be the new normal, regardless of how difficult that is to accept.

      .....and on top of all of this, my middle son almost died last weekend after (1) shot of the Moderna vaccine. (which he never wanted to start with, but had to have in order to get into Canada)
      You need to take your argument somewhere else, I'm spent!

        wait! how did he almost die????

        1. abwilliams profile image68
          abwilliamsposted 3 years agoin reply to this

          He had the shot on a Thurs., flew to South Fl the next day and after leaving a restaurant, became disoriented, sweating profusely, tightness in his chest and a stiff neck (he's a 35 year old health nut and seriously thought he was having a heart attack) his girlfriend took him to the E.R. which was close by (thank God)! His heart rate was in the 40's at first and kept dropping, into the 30's, before they got him stabilized. This was two weekends ago and he still isn't feeling back to 100%.
          I keep thinking what IF he had been alone or had been driving when he had this (reaction) is what they called it. He had (1) dose of the Moderna vaccine.

            Yes, I knew a guy ... in his forties. A pool lifeguard, loved by all. He died (recently) from a heart attack while driving his car. Don't know much more, but that could have been yours ... anyone's son.
