The left's bellwether outlet, the New York Times, perfectly sums up this agenda with a story headlined "Red America's COVID Problem," in which the Times writes that "COVID remains a serious threat to unvaccinated adults, especially those middle-aged or older" and that it's rising in Trump-supporting areas of the country where vaccination rates, they say, are lower.
As Thomas Lifson, writing for American Thinker, pointed out, "The virus, like all life forms, wants to reproduce to survive. But if it kills off its hosts, it can't do so. That's why as viruses mutate, they become less lethal and more transmissible." In any case, the situation is nothing like it was last year.
The left wants to maintain its grip on the public, and score additional political points against Republicans.
The New York Times, for example, cites Missouri as a case study in how supposedly Trump-fueled skepticism of the vaccine has lead to a substantial growth in cases.
Plus, what these miscreants conveniently ignore is the fact that the four states with by far the highest COVID death rates are bluest of blue states: New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
States with significant recent drops in new cases include solidly red states such as Montana, Wyoming, Louisiana, West Virginia, Indiana, Idaho, and Alaska.
So if some people would rather risk getting the disease than risk a potential side effect from a COVID vaccine, what business is it of politicians? What we have here is nothing more than the left trying to continue to flog COVID for its own political gain - either to maintain control over the public by needlessly scaring it or to "Own" Republicans by wrongfully blaming them.
