There’s become a left/right element at play, no media narrative necessary. See my prior post.
You dont think the divide is the same/similar/bigger when it comes to mandates? Wow.
“According to the poll, more than 8 in 10 Democrats and at least half of independent voters want to require vaccinations for all Americans (except those with medical conditions), for employees who work in their area and for those who go to gyms or entertainment venues. But those requirements are supported by roughly 35 percent of Republicans, who form the largest group of unvaccinated Americans.”

There is a left/right divide in both vaccination rates and opinions on mandates.

Is there? How do you separate the two?
Scroll up and click. I’ve backed my assertion.

How are you separating the vaccine from the mandate?

Yup- vaccinations…
Along party lines, however, the breakdown was 92% of Democrats, 68% of Independents, and 56% of Republicans.

Of Americans surveyed from Sept. 13-22, 72% of adults 18 and older had been vaccinated, including 71% of white Americans, 70% of Black Americans, and 73% of Hispanics. Contrast these converging figures with disparities based on politics: 90% of Democrats had been vaccinated, compared with 68% of Independents and just 58% of Republicans.

By providing a source about vax rates and another source about support for mandates. Do the sources I provided not lay this out in simple enough vernacular for you?
How can one “forget” the mask is on. I also have to wear one when on campus and in any indoor public area or classroom. The only time I can take it off is in the bathroom or when I am in the Veterans Lounge if nobody else is in there. As soon as I walk out of the building the mask immediately comes off.

That’s not separation. It’s also nothing more that correlation, at most. How many “republicans” are refusing to vaccinate because they resent mandates?
Jbiden and Fauci screwed the pooch with the mandates.
I’ve been hearing some really good commercials on the radio. Somebody who sounds like me, “Initially I didn’t want the vaccine. It was too experimental. But now I see 150 Trillion people have been vaccinated and I’m ready.”
Stuff like that. That’s how to do it.
You start ordering people, especially males, especially MAGA proletariat people, to do anything all you’re going to get is reactance.

Nah mandates happened in response to “reactance” to take the vaccine. And guess what? They are working!
Good news, less people getting infected and dying. Less people infecting others because they aren’t vaccinated.

Nope. It was in reaction to Delta this late summer and the “reactance”. Anti-vaxxing has been baked into the pudding since Biden took over

Nope. It was during the campaign.
