the craziest part is how fuckin political medicine is now. Go look at a map on NYTimes that shows deaths from COVID, and it's the rural counties dying the most. It really is like looking at the presidential election map. rural people not getting vaxxed, plus they have way less medical services out there. There is always going to be a surge if people refuse to get vaccines(or if they arent mandated which they never will be at this point. we're gonna see fuckin polio make a comeback)
