In contrast with the VAERS nonsense, where almost none of the reports are verified, we have vast amounts of actual data.

x Covid-19 vaccine tracker: the global race to vaccinate https://t.co/MWzmbKxyNK via @FinancialTimes Total vaccination doses given globally so far: 11.84 billion doses given in less than a 2-year time frame (since Fall/Winter of 2020). — Jose G Montoya (@JosGilbertoMon1) June 3, 2022

The US is well below other countries in vaccinations per 100 population.

So technically and according to the science,

it doesn’t matter if you're vaxxed or not. pic.twitter.com/DGzLJwsAxH — Diamond and Silk® (@DiamondandSilk) January 22, 2023

That, of course, turns out not to be in any way the case.

Very likely, but then you won’t need it

OK, that’s enough of that.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Excess Death Rates for Republicans and Democrats During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Political affiliation has emerged as a potential risk factor for COVID-19, amid evidence that Republican-leaning counties have had higher COVID-19 death rates than Democrat- leaning counties and evidence of a link between political party affiliation and vaccination views. This study constructs an individual-level dataset with political affiliation and excess death rates during the COVID-19 pandemic via a linkage of 2017 voter registration in Ohio and Florida to mortality data from 2018 to 2021. We estimate substantially higher excess death rates for registered Republicans when compared to registered Democrats, with almost all of the difference concentrated in the period after vaccines were widely available in our study states. Overall, the excess death rate for Republicans was 5.4 percentage points (pp), or 76%, higher than the excess death rate for Democrats. Post-vaccines, the excess death rate gap between Republicans and Democrats widened from 1.6 pp (22% of the Democrat excess death rate) to 10.4 pp (153% of the Democrat excess death rate). The gap in excess death rates between Republicans and Democrats is concentrated in counties with low vaccination rates and only materializes after vaccines became widely available.

Memetic Immunity

Wrong-Wingers have been practicing raising their children and indeed whole countries in the bubble of their delusions. It used to be possible when communications could be fully controlled, but no more. Newspaper and book printing had a lot to do with that, allowing for the Protestant Reformation (and its attendant wars) and the scientific revolution, and the Enlightenment, and democratic republics. The Internet has greatly cut down on major oppression and especially wars.

We are well along in ending extreme poverty, and spreading education, jobs, health care, renewables and EVs and trees, and so on all around. We can finish those projects once we overcome the political obstacles and denialism surrounding them. By my calculations, as a former high-tech global market analyst, $50 billion a year would be enough to prime the various pumps, although more would certainly be welcome. Far too many believe that we are putting trillions into foreign aid, and complaining bitterly.

With all of the well-known faults of education, the media, and the InterWebz, far more information than disinformation gets out. Wrong-Wingers are especially bent out of shape about that, as you see from what they helplessly scream and caterwaul and otherwise carry on about—in one word, reality.

2nd Thursday GNR: The Screaming Says We're Winning

I have written about the science behind much of the bubble, in my Grokking Republicans and Grokking Trumpists series, which Teh Goggle Mashin can easily find for you.

For today, I will just call out [TRIGGER WARNING]

Grokking Trumpists: Raising Racists

They can no longer raise their children exclusively in their bubble, with the result that millions of the young fall away from fear, rage, and hate every year.

Older people too, in response to attacks on “entitlements” and women’s health and so on, though not in such large percentages.

Truth Sandwiches

This is not a new fight. We are in the third year of covid-19.

x We all want the pandemic to be under control so we can get back to living normal lives! While Trump is trying to tell you that he’s handled the coronavirus/COVID-19 crisis well and done all he could, the facts tell a different story...#TruthBrigade https://t.co/l0rf2eTRQv — Andrea S. Burling (@andreasburling) August 27, 2020

More recently, the Truth Brigade has had other tofu to fry in the midterms and the Wrong-Winger House, but we took covid nonsense on strongly last year.

x Republicans are uniting the US by



-Not having enough children



-Dying of covid, guns, drugs, denying others health care, & outright suicide



-Driving away millions of their children every year



-Stealing the Supreme Court to overturn Roe



& more.#Indivisible #TruthBrigade pic.twitter.com/v7X5Bi6s9n — Mokurai Delusion Fighter 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@Mokurai) May 8, 2022

x Behind closed doors #Trump said the "good thing about Covid is he didn't have to shake hand with those disgusting people."



He was talking about his supporters. #DemVoice1 #truthbrigade https://t.co/9nVZtW2SXT — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) May 23, 2022

x #DJT's mental illness is obvious. No PhD needed.



The decisions he made about #Covid were made in light of what he thot was best for DJT. He lied & mislead, & hundreds of thousands of American needlessly died.



He said, "I take no responsibility." #DemVoice1 #TruthBrigade https://t.co/dLmSpOkxcB — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) April 26, 2022

x #DeathSantis said Covid vaccine was saving lives, but flipflops & now wants investigations of who developed it.



Was he lying then? Or is he lying now? He sees votes among anti-vaxxers



Speeding the vaccines development is the 1 good thing #Trump did. #DemVoice1 #TruthBrigade pic.twitter.com/Y2RZ783bwH — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) December 15, 2022

x When covid deaths in the US are compared to other countries, we had 2-300K unnecessary deaths bc of #trump's mishandling of the pandemic.



Where was Pence when #DJT was pushing horse deworm-er, sunlight and injecting bleach?



Pro-life my ass... #DemVoice1 #Truthbrigade pic.twitter.com/5jFT3ESSWv — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) November 22, 2022

x Regardless of where we come from or where we live, we all want to stay healthy. When people push us not to wear masks anymore, you wonder if they are thinking of others. Keep on masking in enclosed areas to not pass COVID on to others we care about. #TruthBrigade #TruthBrigadeIL pic.twitter.com/651KVVLszv — Count Every Vote (@ettaw) August 23, 2022

x Under Trump 300K died from Covid that shouldn't have died.#Trump thot it in his political self-interest to minimize the danger & offer fake cures & hold super-spreader rallies.



Being a psychopath he felt no responsibility for the needless deaths. #DemVoice1 #Truthbrigade — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) August 1, 2022

x Behind closed doors #Trump said the "good thing about Covid is he didn't have to shake hand with those disgusting people."

x Most of the country wants equality, Liberty & Justice for all, & all that good stuff.



White male Xianist Supremacists are evil, not stupid. They know what they want, being More =, & they are ready to fight & die of covid, etc. to think they can maintain it.
