Why are the republicans and Fox News against the vaccine?

[Botany]

Because it works. And it works even in ultra red counties and states and that will make Joe Biden look good.

Make the GOP own pandemic in 2022.

1. Same reason they hate all progressive policies...

like you said, they work to make people's lives better, and their entire reason for existance seems to be to increase suffering.

[Botany]

6. We used to have some wonderful people in America that were republicans.

They valued education, science, infrastructure, class, and in many cases planned parenthood too.

And if the vaccines get used in red counties and work it will expose that the GOP is now based on lies
and fear. Also if Biden's broad band infrastructure plan gets into rural red areas that will be a game
changer too.

2. Because it highlights the fact that, under the previous guy...

....their plan didn't just suck, it suckity suck sucked. And now with adults in the room running things, they have to make up stupid shit to make it seem like the Biden Administration is equally as inept. Which, of course, we all know is not the case. I don't think it's a coincidence that the most unvaccinated states are also the reddest.

3. Also because it makes $$$ for big pharma.nt

4. To spite Biden? Own the Libs? Worship at the alter of Lord & Savior Trump?

14. Bingo.

5. You know what the crazy thing is?

If Trump would have been in favor of masks and vaccines to save his re-election chances, MAGA's would have been shooting people in the streets for not wearing masks and Red States would be passing laws making it a felony to not get the vaccine.

7. Trump committed genocide for hire. He got paid many Roubles for 600,000 lives.

And then, as you say, the other Reptilians played along, to worship His Royal Hiney.

8. They're killing off their own voters.

Political Darwinism roulette.

[Under The Radar]

9. It is the Tea Party playbook. A flood of wedge issues.

The economy is booming because of the foundation that Trump built. The vaccine was developed in Trump’s personal Laboratory, and the distribution was Trumps plan.
The Border is a catastrophe under Biden policies, Antifa, CRT, Transgender athletics, Marxist invasion in our schools.
Mask and vaccines are for politically correct wussy's. If there is no scandal , develop some.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. They want to worsen matters in the USA...

... because they think increased suffering under Biden will mean GOP victory in future elections.

[albacore]

12. I have a simple answer as to why they oppose vaccine and pandemic mitigation efforts....

They have a Contrarian Personality Disorder.

If somebody they don't like says something... they are automatically - and rabidly - against it. Never mind the topic.

"Owning the liberals".... multiplied exponentially.

20. You may be on to something

I remember hearing the following many times..."I don't know what 'Net Neutrality' is, but if Obama is for it, then I'm against it!".

13. Why did Jim Jones have his followers drink the cool-aid

They are part of a death cult. Waiting for the rapture.

[TheFarseer]

15. Because they are just giving vaccine away

We need a super expensive cure. They’d be pimping Ivomectin except that stuff is cheap too.

Ok, that’s just a small point, but I’ve never seen anyone say it before.

[sanatanadharma]

16. Straight up 'tribalism'

They have no choice but to reject science, reason, morality and humanity because the other tribe claims those are real matters.

[Botany]

18. They have no choice but to reject reality. See video below.

[NCDem47]

17. Rs have to portray America as a hellscape.

Even when it’s clearly not. Sure, we have problems, but nothing to stop people from buying Amazon, watching Netflix or going to Starbucks.

19. Well this does cull the herd of Trumplican voters. Covid does that.
