319,000 Covid Deaths Could Have Been Averted

Sunday, May 15, 2022

Many of the nearly 1 million COVID deaths took place in 2020 before the vaccines were available. But of the more than 641,000 people who died after vaccines were available, half of those deaths could have been averted -- 318,981 -- had every eligible adult gotten vaccinated.

According to the analysis, West Virginia, Wyoming, Tennessee, Kentucky and Oklahoma had the most vaccine-preventable deaths per capita.

So more than a quarter of a million extra Republicans died? It's a free country, as they insisted upon proving.

Probably not enough GOP voters died to sway any elections, but if that does happen, it would be irony gold.

As for me, four shots and STILL no Pfizer t-shirt to wear at the gym...

There have to be swing districts where the vote would normally be close. And every 100 deaths was a net loss to Republicans of roughly 40 voters.

Many of them claimed to be "pro-life" evangelicals who yelled, "MY BODY! MY CHOICE!" about masks and vaccines and don't care about human beings once they're born.

Why aren't you needing the warnings of the people who say the vaccine will kill you? You trust them on everything else.

Maybe it was just their time. Most of them were old clowns doing what they loved.

What a strange coincidence- almost as many lives could've been averted if a bunch of politicians and stupid people didn't support the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses.

Curious- if I was a Hindu or Buddhist, I would almost conclude that it was like Karma or somethin'
