I expect whatever we're fighting about next year won't be COVID, but it's still a pretty risky stance.

I don't know how many, but some people are getting vaccines in secret so they won't be shunned by their families and community.

And I think Republicans believe that that smallish group wins them elections. They vote, they donate money, they promote fear and hate and social media and can swing over enough people.
