4/27/21: A group of Republicans in Congress, who happen to be health professionals, release an advertisement encouraging people to get vaccinated. In it, Sen. Roger Marshall, a freshman from Kansas and a doctor, and others wear “white coats with stethoscopes draped around their necks.” Marshall urges viewers to get vaccinated, “So we can throw away our masks, and live life as free as before.”
This message, correct as it
is, is necessary because over the last year countless other GOP voices have
been raised in anger, devoted to downplaying the threat from the virus, insisting
masks are symbols of oppression, and vaccines will change our DNA. Right-wing
voters have been inundated with stupidity. Now the Republican medical people
were doing their little part to bring light.

It didn’t help recently, when
Alex Jones insisted on his show that people who get vaccinated would be “dead
within a year.”
