By The FirstScientist Neil deGrasse Tyson felt the need to blame “vaccine hesitancy” for the lack of a red wave during this year’s midterms; he quoted an article on Twitter that claimed COVID killed more Republicans and probably cost them in tight races.
“Vaccine hesitancy, which was much higher among Republican voters than Democrats during COVID, led to disproportionate deaths among conservatives, and may have cost them the mid-term elections in close races.”

Man, used to like your stuff. Sorry you’ve decided to become so political. Should’ve stuck w age stratification of the deaths instead of ideology. Bummer.

Everyone wants to spout off with their wild conspiracy theories. Reminder Dr. Tyson: COVID vaccines do not stop infection, transmission, illness, or death from COVID. No evidence of mortality benefit from mRNA vaccines: https://t.co/4TfunitaLS https://t.co/YK0Qt8Tyds
