Americans ingest worse stuff in processed foods than what's found in the vaccines.
Now this is a deflection.

Sure it will get into the 90s after a large chunk caves, and another chunk leaves the military, but there will be some medical & religious exemptions.

You’re missing the larger point. Who’s dying of covid? 99.2% of the .35% who die unvaccinated….

And there it is! The go-to for when data backs your preconceived notions into a corner. Next you’re going to ask “who’s checking the fact checkers?” :lol:

We all tend to seek confirmation bias. This is true. But not all confirmation bias is created equal.

Yes, you go ahead and blindly believe everything the government and it’s associated agencies tell you. It’s served the country so well so far.

If DeSantis, Abbott, etc. are all vaccinated, wouldn't the responsible, "adult in the room" thing for them to do include encouraging elderly people, people with comorbidities, people at risk to get vaccinated?

Encouraging is one thing. MANDATING is another entirely.

I don't believe in mandates from on high in either direction.

I'm asking where is their leadership when it comes to that encouragement. They seem to be doing their most vulnerable constituents a disservice. Is it because they too have politicized the issue and are more interested in appealing to their base than actually leading?

The bullsh!t is deep on both sides of aisle when it comes to COVID.

Yep.

No one has been forced to get vaccinated. No one has been incarcerated for not wearing a mask.

The politics of Covid is a compromise between freedom, economics, and public safety. That hasn’t changed. But we should at least all be close in agreement to what the most current science is predicting. The political contention should be over risk aversion.

There’s a reason governments and businesses are mandating.

Who says they aren't?
DeSantis prioritized the elderly and the most compromised when the vaccine first came out, and 60 Minutes decided to do a hit piece on him.

America has NEVER been about risk aversion. The WORST thing to happen to this country was when people started expecting their government to “keep them safe”. The government is more than happy to take on that role….just means more taxes and more power shifted to a centralized party that will NEVER, EVER give it back. Newsflash: There’s 1,000 things you interact with every day that can kill you.

Maybe they are. Prioritizing the elderly and most compromised 6 months ago doesn't mean that DeSantis is still doing it though. I think he's more worried about sound bites than lives but I'm willing to look at links that prove me wrong.

Im not quite sure what you’re trying to say here, Captain Hyperbole, but libertarian philosophical scolding falls a little flat during times of crisis.

Of course “crisis” is exactly what the libtards want us to believe.
