, Republican leaders have stepped up efforts to persuade their supporters to get the shot, at times combating misinformation spread by some of their own.“Medicine and science and illness, that should not be political,” said Dr. Brad Wenstrup, a Republican congressman from Ohio and a podiatrist who has personally administered coronavirus vaccine shots both as an Army Reserve officer and as an ordinary doctor. “But it was an election year and it really was.
“We could be sitting here in the winter-fall with an entirely different, scary version of the pandemic,” she said. “One driven by a combination of variants and people who didn’t want to get vaccinated.”Mississippi has the nation’s lowest vaccination rate, with less than 31% of its population receiving at least one anti-coronavirus shot.
Not all Republican lawmakers feel the same sense of urgency to raise the vaccination rate, meanwhile. “I think that’s where smart governors are going to start asserting themselves,” he said, noting that someIdeology also isn’t the only factor in vaccine hesitancy. Experts are also tracking a generational gap, with younger Americans believing that, even if they get the virus, it is unlikely to seriously sicken or kill them. Republican West Virginia Gov.
Don't worry any folks... GOP doesn't believe on getting the vaccine so they all will get the COVID and die. They will soon fade away. The party will be dissolved to make room for another party. So everyone... thank McCarthy for fulfilling their destiny.
Good luck. Current vaccination rates are predicted extremely strongly by *2016* voting patterns. Blue state? No vaccines? Go red, just bathe in sanitizer when you get back.
Thank you to all the Republican politicians for doing the right thing and encouraging their constituents to get vaccinated
RegBlackGrl They get on my Effin' nerves.
They flip, flop and twist so much the should have an act with the Cirque du Soleil!
cryborg I guess they are begging to realize that their voters if dead cant vote for them! Aholes these ppl are
I predict that very few of their cult will realize they were lied to.
Well they are the ones who went along with the insanity of tramp making it a political issue to benefit himself!!!!
JamesSa75888275 Basically, the party of idiots is trying to convince their lesser idiots to not believe the misinformation from their greater idiots.

Good luck trying to close that barn door.
You really can’t do much to cure the magat disease so why bother. 🤷♀️
Who's gonna listen to that guy.. he loos like a crime boss.
📣🗣📣🗣📣🗣 Here is audio of DRUMPF - on FAUX NOISE - advising people to get vaccinated: ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔
Variants are now spreading and they are concerned that they will lose votes as people die off 😒ReSister LBGT LincolnArmy ExpelLaurenBoebert ExpelJimJordan ExpelMattGaetz GQP CancelFox LegalizeIt FoxNewsIsRacist
Worried about money, I presume 🤔
What’s happened to the GOP? They almost sound reasonable. Have gotten used to Republican crazy.
If the vaccine is so safe then why it killed some peoples and put some in the hospital? SO THAT'S A BOLD FACED LIE. DON'T CLAIM THE BENEFITS OUTWEIGHS THE RISK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DEAD, DEAD, DEAD AS A DOOR KNOB.
How about the damn manufacturers having the balls to back their shit and be liable for deaths that occur from it. That'd make more people more comfortable about taking the shit. Like them saying 'here, take this. You might die from it, but that's not our problem'
Just tell them the former guy got vaccinated. That’s all they care about. Hell, give the former guy credit for all the research, development, rollout, etc. Credit is all HE cares about.
sbauerAP Enough with the reminders and persuasion, people can make up their own minds. We have all heard of where and how to get the shot.
But they of course won't take any responsibility for why it's gotten this bad
Funny, red state Covid cases are steadily falling
The GOP is a death cult
How can you use REPUBLICAN and LEADER in the same sentence
And yet FL was way fewer deaths than NY even with a much older & vulnerable demographics - let’s give Andy that leadership award!
So, the gqp is very slowly attempting to pull their heads out from their ass.
Nobody to blame but themselves when the narrative for the last year was that this was not something to be taken seriously
Oh no, which gop politically expedient statement is one to believe and act upon?
Announce that we’re sending unused vaccines to India, China or Mexico or any country. I wonder how that would sit with the America first crowd.
I live in a red state. Can you please show validated stats on who in these states are not vaccinated? (Probably different in each state). As usual, its not as 'black and white' as Rs versus Dems. But that would be less exciting to write about.
willdizard Trusting liars gets very confusing
Many think why get the shot if you still have to live the same way you did a year ago? Dems don’t help when at the Biden speech you see a room half empty all wearing masks and they’re fully vaccinated.
Man, that bed they made for themselves is a mess
All y'all don't get it. This is about Trump sitting behind his walls waiting for Biden & everyone to PUBLICLY BEG him to help persuade MAGA to get vaccinated. It's about his delusion of leverage over his supporters to get him attention at others expense. He's that small.
_Politics Have they finally figured out that they’re killing their own voters?
It's a crazy life for practicing republicans, if they listen to their own propaganda they die?
Half of the GOP voters and many of the GOP themselves still believe and spread the lie that the elections were stolen from Trump so I do not think they have much to do on this issue either. Lack of brain and stupidity cannot be fixed easily. It is kind of genetic.
Good luck! My dumb ass brother, sister-in-law, some cousins, and some aunts and uncles are refusing here in Texas. The ignorance is palpable. And it’s infuriating.
Well I don’t even know what to say to this. I told you so? That doesn’t feel better, these idiots killed hundreds of thousands of people. Bleak.
They knew the truth from the beginning, but failed to lead. Let COVID19 CancelCulture them.
They don't want to lose their own voters to Covid19. Everyone GetVaccinated you won't regret it
That headline pretty well sums up the Republican Party but yet they believe in the Easter Bunny, go figure!
_Politics Can you get vaccinated but still hate it AND rail against it? Why not have your cake and eat it too? That seems to be the most logical strategy for a GOP person.
“I forget why I say ‘No’ to vaccination, but as a Republican, I don’t have to remember.” 👀🤨 - any random R lawmaker
