(CNN)On Thursday, Mitch McConnell was asked about the sluggish Covid-19 vaccination rates among his fellow Kentuckians -- and why he believed it to be the case.


"I'm perplexed by the reluctance of some to get vaccinated, totally perplexed," he said.
Perplexed, eh?

Let me help!

Maybe just maybe -- and I am spitballing here -- the relentless efforts by former President Donald Trump and his Fox News cohorts to question the severity of the coronavirus, scoff at medical guidance on mask-wearing and cast the whole response to -- and vaccination for -- Covid-19 as an issue of freedom as opposed to one of public health might have something to do with it?

Uh yeah.
While Trump has been vaccinated -- and has said he thinks others should get vaccinated too -- he was the only living president not to participate in a public service announcement urging shots in arms, and he spent much of the previous 16 months downplaying the virus and vilifying the health care experts seeking to mitigate the number of dead from it.

The QAnons claim Covid is a hoax.
That claim is a hoax.
They aren't being vaxed because they claim Covid is a hoax, the Covid-hoax.

Thus they are dying of the Covid-hoax hoax.

That he would be smiling the entire time. He finds pleasure in the pain of others. Sadist McConnell. But, it seems the state is into sadomasochism, so oh well...

... to just out and out lie.

He knows why. He threw his ignorant constituents under the bus by making Covid political hay and throwing anti-vax meat to the rabble. Of course, he wore masks and was vaxed himself.

What will he do when they turn on him. And they will when they realize their interests are not his interests. They're to provide votes and soon enough, if Turtle and pals are successful, votes won't mean snot.
