 Why are some Republican politicians suddenly turning against the coronavirus vaccines — and in at least one case, seemingly turning against vaccination in general? It seems to make no sense; it's their own constituents who will suffer if their vaccination rates stay low. Indeed, that's exactly what's happening now, with more Republican states having the lowest vaccination rates and experiencing new surges of Covid-19. How can that work out for them? Some think it's a simple effort to ruin the nation while a Democrat is in the White House. I'm skeptical of that answer. Not because I have great confidence in the ethics of any set of politicians, but because for the most part, the anti-vaccination folks are the same people who turned against public safety measures before the vaccines — and before Joe Biden was president.
