Decolonise colons!
That’s counterintuitive, as elsewhere Republican talking heads are actively discouraging vaccination in order to boost the death toll and prolong the pandemic so they can use it as a stick to beat Biden with. Hiding the deaths doesn’t help this agenda.
It's not as simple as all Republicans doing this, though. Things aren't quite as simply split on those lines. Republicans are generally older and a lot of them are pretty sane and pro-vaccine.
