"THEN" we may perhaps find ourselves moving to a position where die-hard COVID denialists are harming mostly themselves. These are not absolutes, of course, they are tendencies. They seemed to me tendencies worth thinking about in advance. Your mileage may vary of course. END — PolitiTweet.org

My thread was talking about a pair of hypotheticals: 1) "IF" the vaccines work as well as they seem to do; and 2) "IF" the US continues to make progress toward double vaccination of most of the population ... 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarro The captain of the sinking ship grabs a life vest for himself. Meanwhile his officers assure the passengers and crew that there's nothing to worry about - and denounce anyone who points to the icebergs around them. Is that "pro life vest"? Or cowardice and desertion of duty? — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarro Rupert Murdoch got himself vaccinated in December 2020 at a British NHS clinic, three weeks before even the Queen (and head of the British state). Yet Murdoch too has used his power to discourage others from protecting themselves as he protected himself. So, question: 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

In the earlier phases of COVID, we were all in it together. One person's reckless behavior endangered his or her more prudent neighbor. As highly effective vaccines spread, however, the harm of COVID denial increasingly falls almost wholly on the denier. 11/x — PolitiTweet.org

The people who voted Trump and watch Fox are victims of a slow-rolling national tragedy. But they are not *only* victims. They bear responsibility too for the harm they do themselves and their families. 10/x — PolitiTweet.org

The gun issue is also one of self-harm and harm to loved ones. Almost 25,000 Americans a year use guns to end their lives. Thousands more are horribly injured in gun accidents that would never have happened without a firearm in the home. 9/x https://t.co/HFd7Hs6HEo — PolitiTweet.org

Trump and the Fox leadership have vaccinated themselves of course. But they have a different message for their followers. They have persuaded them that it's a test of identity and loyalty to refuse COVID protection. 7/x — PolitiTweet.org
