Cops are disproportionately MAGA, as evidenced by how often they're filmed flamenco dancing on a Black person's spine, so it's not a surprise that they also disproportionately reject vaccines.

St. Petersburg, Florida, Police Officer Michael Weiskopf died Friday. It wasn't in the line of duty or because a Black Lives Matter protest fatally demoralized him. No, the 52-year-old cop died from complications related to COVID-19. He was unvaccinated, and that's not complicated. It's playing with COVID.
Weiskopf nonetheless received a full hero's send-off, with a police procession escorting his body to the funeral home.
"If he arrived on a scene you knew it was going to be done correctly," said Chief Anthony Holloway. "Mike wanted to make sure that person, that victim in that accident, got justice."
That lucky citizen might've also gotten exposed to the coronavirus. It's incredibly irresponsible for active-duty police to refuse vaccination. This isn't a personal choice. The public can't choose not to interact with cops, and if you're immunocompromised or otherwise at risk, your penalty for a broken tail light can be death. That seems both cruel and unusual.
