    You mean how many times are you going to move the goalposts to try and win a petty argument? Neither of your examples even refute what I originally said. They are just examples of Republican lawmakers being more willing to let people make the choice for themselves. Still no examples of them advising against the vaccine.

    I think those numbers must be incomplete for the last couple of weeks. It seems statistically unlikely that deaths from all causes would drop by a factor of 2.

    Edit: yeah, I guess that theory is correct. From the link:

    Therefore, the data shown on this page may be incomplete, and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for the more recent time periods. Death counts for earlier weeks are continually revised and may increase or decrease as new and updated death certificate data are received from the states by NCHS. COVID-19 death counts shown here may differ from other published sources, as data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks.

    Hospitalized right-wing 'anti-vaxxer' radio host is 'fighting for his life' with COVID-19 and his family says he regrets not being 'vehemently pro-vaccine'
    • Phil Valentine, 61, is fighting Covid-related pneumonia in a critical care unit
    • His brother, Mark, asked for prayers and urged everyone to get the vaccine
    • Phil Valentine has repeatedly questioned the safety of vaccines
    • He hosts a radio show on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN in Nashville, Tennessee
    • Valentine told social media followers that there were 'very effective alternatives' to the shots

    I wish we had a national Dumbass Award that could be given to all these people who are finding out that their stupid decisions have predictable negative consequences.

    We did. Its called washing your hands, wearing a mask in public places and a flu vaccine. Last year flu was basically nonexistant. Also moderna is in trials for a universal flu vaccine based on the same rna tech as the covid shot. HIV vaccine is also in the works.

    I was thinking more of something the President could award at Four Seasons Landscaping.

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/23/politics/alabama-governor-kay-ivey-unvaccinated-covid/index.html

    Washington(CNN)Alabama Republican Gov. Kay Ivey on Thursday called out "the unvaccinated folks" for the rise in Covid-19 cases in her state, a remarkable plea at a time when many GOP leaders are refusing to urge people to get vaccinated even as Covid-19 cases surge in many parts of the country.

    "Folks are supposed to have common sense. But it's time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It's the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down," Ivey told reporters in Birmingham.

    Gotcha. So you only care about explicitly telling people not to get vaccinated. You're okay with all the people who are merely spewing dangerous misinformation which has resulted in a large portion of the population not getting vaccinated... haha. Semantics are fun. You do realize that both create the same result, right? Way to keep moving the goalpost.

    If all you care about is people having the right to decide, then you should also care that people are actually informed on the facts before deciding. Or does that not matter to you?

    I thought only the unvaccinated needed to worry though?
