Even though most of the politicians here are a bunch of dumb azz conservative rednecks that stick to the agenda over data, facts, and research, it can’t all be blamed on them.
Short of making that vaccine mandatory to go in any inside public places there is not much you can do when people still have a “choice” to take it or not take it.
You were never going to get 360 million people on one accord. The federal government probably should have just went ahead and mandated vaccines for everyone as soon as the FDA said it was safe, but they tried/trying to give people a choice.
Had they mandated vaccination, people would have been b*tching just like they are now about wearing a little mask and how it’s infringing on their constitutional rights and all that other bullshyt. These MAGA cacs that really don’t believe in science or anything other Trump further complicates matters.
Everyone in the South isn’t dumb and uneducated either, but I understand y’all frustrations the ignorant cacs and a few select kneegrows as well make everyone look questionable until they prove otherwise.
