Dems Celebrate Study Showing Trump Voters More Likely to Die from Covid, Hope It Sways Midterm Elections

"Can’t help but wonder if this is of sufficient magnitude to sway the midterm elections. Anybody out there know enough statistics to tell us?"

Democrats are excited about a new study that suggests that Trump voters are much more likely to die from Covid-19 than Biden voters. Some are even musing it might help sway the 2020 election.

One health expert who has appeared repeatedly on MSNBC and CNN throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Peter Hotez of Baylor University and the Texas Children's hospital, shared the study on Twitter.

Picture says a lot

Dr. Hotez, who has an impressive background in actual vaccine development, was reacting to the views of Sarah Palin, who recently said that she would get the coronavirus vaccine "over my dead body."

At what point do we define such public remarks made by former or current elected officials as hate speech/rhetoric? Since June 1, 2021, I estimate 200,000 unvaccinated Americans lost their lives to Covid because they refused vaccinations despite their widespread availability.
