I agree they SHOULD be a major election issue, but I don't think they will be. It seems like everyone has gone silent on them. Yes, I still hear ads to get "up to date" on vaccines, but not nearly the full-court press like before. No one in my family or in my social circles talk about them at all whereas before they asked for updates on shot status.

Paxlovid is a common commercial I am seeing.

Yep, that's my fear, it will all get pushed under the rug and we will end up in a Groundhog Day scenario where we keep repeating the same bad policies. Drs are still on it, a friend just told me they still get asked about giving her kids the shots at their Dr visits.

I wish Dr. McCullough was clearer on the math. If 40% of people (or more) understand to oppose the jabs, and 60% of people vote, that doesn't mean that 2/3 of the voters oppose the jabs. Still, the data he presented be encouraging.

Exactly! You don’t know how much of the 40% falls into that 60% who vote! LOL

Did he really mean it that way? Almost has to be overlapping voters and non-voters. Any portion of those non-voters deciding to vote due to that issue, or normal voters letting that issue tip their vote a certain way, could have a huge effect on elections. And if RFK takes advantage, major party candidates may take notice.

I agree with you. But let's say 40% of 60%, that'd be 24%. A big number, but then people vote on other things besides jabs. Some are concerned about other issues, and many just vote for whoever they find likeable, or whoever their influencers recommend. Many suffer from TDS and will vote for whoever they think can vanquish Orange Man.

He's a doctor, not a mathematician, or...oops, he really should know math better than this. And now it looks like he's entering politics.....

I like citizens who enter politics to fix issues. Career politicians seem better suited for jails and asylums.

Those 40% are very upset and VERY LIKELY will be voting because of how strongly they feel. So his assessment is accurate.

And now the Covid jab is on the list of mandatory jabs when one applies for permanent residence in the USA or even applies for a J1 visa.

I was glad to see that Aaron Siri's firm has been busy with exemptions for people legally applying for residence in the U.S.: https://www.sirillp.com/immigration-attorneys/vaccine-exemptions-and-waivers/
