The virus doesn't care who is in office or what their political agenda is. Its mutations are not based on right, left, red, or blue. Its disheartening that so

  It cares very much who is vaccinated, and wears protective equipment, and who is not. And there is a big political correlation. I never would have thought that people were so willing to literally kill themselves to make the current administration look bad, but perhaps I shouldn't have been.

    You think unvaccinated are doing this just to make Democrats look bad? That seems like a stretch to me. I think they are doing it because the previous administration completely botched their messaging around the virus - first saying masks had no effect (the biggest botch IMO) when what they really meant was "we have a shortage of masks, hospital staff need them, we don't want everyone hoarding them, so we're going to lie and tell you they aren't necessary". There were so many outright lies, combined with half-truths and conjecture that turned out to be wrong, that I think a certain group of people came to mistrust everything they were being told, and now they've just dug their heels in.
