Too Little Too Late For Republicans Finally Advocating Covid Vaccines? (MSNBC)

[ItsjustMe]

Months after they became available and as Covid is ravaging southern states due to the Delta variant, conservative Republicans are beginning to advocate for Covid vaccines. James Carville and Tim Miller join to discuss.

1. As rapidly as this Delta version of Covid is spreading, I suspect that it's far too late in those

areas where they haven't been practicing safe distancing, masks, getting vaccinated, etc.

I suspect that all of those areas that were formerly under fire from COVID in early days will be somewhat safer (NYC, most other urbane areas), being that folks there are used to safe distancing, masks, getting vaccinated, and we're seeing it (the results) too. Robust economic activity is gearing up in those relatively safe areas.

In those areas that didn't practice safety precautions, are going to be suffering, will probably have to shorten work hours, invoke curfews of some type, otherwise dampen activity by people in the prime of summer, a hard thing to do, but one that is absolutely critical if they want to defeat this thing, being that they took lackluster measures (if any) to beat back the spread of COVID.

2. Fortunately for them, the average right winger's head is so empty

that s/he won't notice the about face, sort of like "we have always been at war with East Asia." However, after their heavy handed 6 month campaign of "don't let the libruls tell YOU what to do!" I doubt it will have much of an effect, at least in the short term.

Unfortunately, the short tern is what will injure and kill them, this thing has turned aggressive.

I wish some news person would ask them why China would release a virus among their own people that killed a lot of them, especially health care workers, and disrupted their own economy. It just makes no sense, but right wingers are too empty headed to ask that.
