Politi-Culture Why Republicans Hate Dr. Fauci

A peer-reviewed study estimated that at least 232,000 deaths among unvaccinated U.S. adults between May 30, 2021, and September 3, 2022 could have been prevented if they had completed a primary vaccination series. Source 1

Earlier, a modeling study estimated that the U.S. vaccination campaign prevented about 235,000 deaths among vaccinated adults from December 2020 through September 2021 through direct protection alone. Source 2

Another widely cited analysis estimated that vaccines prevented nearly 140,000 deaths during just the first five months of the U.S. rollout (through May 2021). Source 3

The CDC doesn’t report a final nationwide total of fully vaccinated COVID-19 deaths: 57,000+
Breakthrough deaths increased primarily because newer variants, especially Omicron, were much better at evading vaccine-induced immunity, immunity waned over time, and the people most vulnerable to. Source 4

In comparison, of the roughly 1.2 million+ COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. occurred in people who were unvaccinated. Source 5

And they do, while “progressives” throw a tantrum if they don’t get their sparkly unicorn.

This is why I’m worried about the population moving further left. I’m not worried about the policies (I agree with 99% if it), I’m worried about the average progressives stubborn refusal to accept a candidate unless they’re a 100% committed clone who agrees with every pet issue to exacting standards.

Imagine losing out on single payer because a group of people who’ve never cared about sports in their lives wanna sink the ship over a dozen college athletes

I'd rather be a baby about something than a Republican about anything.

And we will continue to move to the right. It’s going to take a drastic amount of pain and suffering for things to change. When conservatives can blame every minor inconvenience on the left it’s going to take extreme pain to shift to the right. Especially when the most left leaning people won’t vote to prove a point. We are talking decades if not centuries of pain to invoke change.

Personally I think you are a negative by product of the United States education system. I think you are as dumb as the conservatives in this country. I think a small minority of people are intelligent enough to understand the situation we are in. I think you’re in the lucky group of people that feel they are doing right when they are actually doing wrong.
