Vote For Trump And Ddddiiiiieeeeee!

[Peter Pedant]

People do what they believe in
This should not be beyond most Abers
Republicans tending to think that Covid is an Asian Hoax are less vaccinated 59% than Democrats ( 91%) and so Covid is killing more republicans than dems

according to the Times today (*)

What do ABers think? - how did you vote in the last election, Daddy?

(*) p 9 Trump voters far more ikely to die from Covid

You're asking this as if we all have the ability to vote in an American election Peter.

People stupid enough to believe Trump's constant BS are obviously more likely to be antivaxxers. Perhaps there can be a special group prize in the Darwin Awards next year.

//People stupid enough to believe Trump's constant BS are obviously more likely to be antivaxxers. //

Why? Trump's not an antivaxxer. You're talking BS, mozz.

Are you aware of qanon naomi?

[Peter Pedant]

Hi Mozza
I just wanted to er flash this up - apparently the correlaton is stronger than....
the factors correlated TO vaccination (*) are political affiliation , and are stronger than race or socioeconomic status

( If you are dem then you have been vaccinated - - -actually when I posted I thought it was the other way round: vacca+ then dem )

[naomi24]

Why do you ask?

[Untitled]

because a lot of trump's core voters believe in it...

[naomi24]

^That to untitled.

[naomi24]

And?

[Peter Pedant]

sozza nozza
{Why? Trump's not an antivaxxer. You're talking BS, mozz.}

does NOT follow from { People stupid enough to believe Trump's constant BS are obviously more likely to be antivaxxers. }

or in Latin; non sequitur

[naomi24]

Now here's a thing, untitled. That couldn't be a conspiracy theory ... could it?

[Untitled]

and if you believe in the madness of qanon (Trump personality cult) you will believe anything... including anti-vax

[Untitled]

qanon is a conspiracy theory yes... a very very mad one.

Yep, if you are unvaccinated you stand a far greater chance of getting a bad dose of covid.
The politically right, who choose not to have the jab will die in greater numbers.
Will it ever dawn on them that they are mistaken? I doubt it while they still hang on Trump’s uninformed utterances.

[Mozz71]

Well Naomi, if a vastly larger number of Republicans are unvaxinated, then that number is more likely to include the Antivaxxer brigade. Seems to be logical.

Surely the antivaxxers and the "covid is a hoax" believers overlap in their beliefs hugely.

[naomi24]

Oh my goodness. You have got it bad, untitled. :o)

Pres Trump has had covid - AND has been vaccinated
which is current advice

[naomi24]

You too, mozz. Just another day at the funny farm. Carry on chaps. :o)

// Now here's a thing, untitled. That couldn't be a conspiracy theory ... could it?//

Now here's a thing, Naomi. That wouldn't be another non sequitur would it ?

[Gromit]

QAnon are NOT a conspiracy theory.
They ARE conspiracy theorists.

Easy mistake to make if you are not paying attention.

[Peter Pedant]

an easy mistake to make
it most certainly is Grom grom

and here is the N Y Times making it in a headline

What Is QAnon, the Viral Pro-Trump Conspiracy Theory?

ho hum - the world goes on turning
