What has Fox News got to do with anything? Do you see this as a political issue?

What about people with immune dysfunction? Are you going to dismiss them as Fox News viewers too because aren't having the vaccine?

Yes, it's highly politicized.

Marjorie Taylor-Greene, a congresswoman from Georgia, is a huge rising conservative star in the style of Trump. She's downright anti-vaccine. "These vaccines are failing and do not reduce the spread of the virus and neither do masks".

Well, that statement of hers is blatantly stupid, I think we can agree on that.

But please don't lump people like me concerned about infringement on rights and bodily autonomy with people who deny facts and cannot understand what a mitigation measure is.

And more importantly, please don't make vaccination a political issue. Because you will be dividing everyone over this much more dramatically.

I would love for vaccination to not be a political issue, it's just the sad truth. The vaccination rate is deeply coordinated with the Democratic voting rate.
