To be sure, many people say "Follow the money" on a regular basis. It rivals, "Is the sky blue?" or "If it walks like a duck and quacks likes a duck, it must be a duck." Which, in a strange way, brings me to the highly contageous Delta viariant exploding in many states now.
In short, odds are if you haven't been vaccinated against COVID-19 yet, and live in a red, Republican state, then you probably will end up sick, hospitalized or worse before September. Many, if not most, of these outcomes can be avoided, but only if people roll up their sleeves and take the Pfizer, Moderna or J&J shots.
Unlike Mother Nature's hurricanes or lightening-induced forest fires, it's clear we can prevent the spread of the Delta variant -- which, from this day forward, I am going to call the Trump variant. Why? Because, in my opinion, the former president has done next to nothing since leaving office to encourage millions of his Republican supporters to get vaccinated. He hasn't followed science or looked to the stars for inspiration. Worse, he has acted more like an ostrich with its head in the sand than any Mallard or Wigeon I ever have seen.
The Trump variant is killing Republicans living in states like Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. Considering he once said he never would shake their hands, can someone please tell me why these people are willing to die for Donald Trump?

Because they're exercising their Constitutional right to be stupid? Just a guess...
