and you will get covid, you will either die or have longhaul covid which will prevent you from voting or standing in line to vote with no water.
This next election season should go well for the Blue candidates.

Wishing death on the unvaccinated would apply to a lot of traditional Democratic voters as well.

Same with covid, get vaccinated or its going to get you
The unvaccinated that believe the conspiracies are majority rethugs that are totally brain washed and consider noone bit themselves.
I have family that are totally brainwashed...No, I wish death on no one.

Never even mind the fact that they are at higher risk for serious illness.

(6,017 posts)Only about 40-50% of adults are susceptible to severe COVID-19; that's before the protection of vaccines is included. Many of them may being long haul, but we don't know how many yet.
Around 2-4% of people who catch COVID globally will die from it; that includes nations with insufficient health care or availability. So far hospitals here in the USA are still handling the wave of cases.
That said, 99.5% of the people who do get severely sick or die will be unvaccinated, and sooner or later Republican voters are going to notice that connection.
Already, vaccination providers are offering "discrete" locations and entrances so that conservatives can get vaccinated and then go right on spreading the Good Word about how people should not get vaccinated because reasons.

(12,051 posts)usually votes Green, is an herbalist who thinks herbs will protect her. Now, I am basically an herbalist, too, but I'm not an idiot. I got my vax. She and her husband have not. I'm waiting for the news that they have gotten sick; they take no precautions, so Delta is going to get them, I'm sure.
