It’s not just rightwingers who have refused the vaccine.
I blame Trump for spreading the variant - HELL yes for sure. He called it a Dem hoax. He dithered, downplayed, denied and said it would magically disappear. He eschewed face masks and refused to wear one himself. His loyal subjects fell right in line and spread stupid conspiracy theories about efficacious and safe vaccines.
The variant spread was enabled primarily by stupid people who followed Dear Leader straight off a cliff. They attended his irresponsible super-spreader rallies, spread the virus and they died. History will not be kind.
President Donald Trump’s campaign rallies led to more than 30,000 coronavirus cases, according to a new paper postedby researchers at Stanford.
Researchers looked at 18 Trump rallies held between June 20 and Sept. 22 and analyzed Covid-19 data the weeks following each event. They compared the counties where the events were held to other counties that had a similar trajectory of confirmed Covid-19 cases prior to the rally date. Out of the 18 rallies analyzed, only three were indoors, according to the research.
The researchers found that the rallies ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19. They also concluded that the rallies likely led to more than 700 deaths, though not necessarily among attendees.
