So your political prejudices are causing you to grasp at conspiracy theories? This is umpossible on the internet!

Actually, it's not really my political leanings that are causing this, it's my observation of a complete Republican disregard for any COVID measures whatsoever that is leading me to this next thought. Anti-mask, anti-vax, anti-social-distancing policies are generally Republican. Accordingly, with their complete disregard for the virus / vaccine and what I view as facts about it, I find it to be a small leap to imagine their data reporting around COVID would be similarly lackadaisical / more motivated by politic than fact. Hopefully you understand I am not American so some ad hominems aren't so effective here.

  Okay Mr. Facts, show me the breakdown of vaccine rates by different groups. And then tell me about how all those groups lean Republican. Because in my state it is groups who overwhelmingly vote democrat who make up the vast majority of unvaccinated. But I have a feeling that bashing Republicans for not getting vaccinated is a lot like publicly pronouncing your hatred of pineapple pizza. Just something the cool kids do. And when you say complete disregard for the virus/vaccine, show me some facts that back it up. Like "complete disregard" means no republicans got vaccinated? None of them said vaccines work and to please get vaccinated? Like share some of these facts that you base this on and show me it isn't your political bias.

This is a national trend where Republicans shun mask mandates and vaccines. That article above provides more links for the vaccine related claims > when you say complete disregard for the virus/vaccine, show me some facts that back it up How's this for size - Florida (you know, a famously Republican state with a Republican governor) is threatening to withhold EDUCATION FUNDING from school districts that have mask mandates: https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2021/07/30/desantis-seeks-to-block-school-mask-mandates-in-florida-amid-covid-surge-1389293 https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2021/07/30/des... I could go on, but you are being very emotionally charged and disregarding a lot of very obvious rhetoric to try and make a blatantly false point.
