We've reached the 'Red Covid' phase of the pandemic https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/28/politics/red-covid-republican-states/index.html In his victory speech after the 2020 election, Joe Biden said this: "I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn't see red and blue states, but a United States." Roughly nine months into his presidency, however, red states and blue states have widely diverged on what should be the least political of issues: Vaccination rates for Covid-19. Dubbing it "Red Covid," The New York Times' David Leonhardt writes: "The political divide over vaccinations is so large that almost every reliably blue state now has a higher vaccination rate than almost every reliably red state. ... Because the vaccines are so effective at preventing serious illness, Covid deaths are also showing a partisan pattern. Covid is still a national crisis, but the worst forms of it are increasingly concentrated in red America." New data from Gallup provides stark numbers to back up Leonhardt's claim.

Trump would not do anything to stop the virus because he assumed that everyone would get it anyway. He did not care that widespread cases would kill millions of Americans.

Proven to be safe and effective? Show me one long term study. According to VAERS there have been more adverse effects and deaths from COV vaccines than all vaccines combined this century. Delta variant? They haven't even isolated the original "alpha" variant. There is no isolation of a complete strain of SARS/COV2. Maybe the "delta variant" is the vaccine.
Are you member of this: https://www.spaghettimonster.org/ Or are you afraid from your own shadow? Can you show us one long term study that it is not safe and not effective?
There are multiple studies showing Covid vaccines are safe and effective including all the Phase 3 trial data. Any adverse effects from vaccines show up within the first six months. As stated very directly on the VAERS homepage the reports do not prove any correlation between the events/deaths and vaccines -- these are merely reports to be investigated. There are many fact checks available outlining that VAERS does not show that thousands of deaths caused by the Covid vaccine -- and this claim by anti-vaxxers is complete misinformation. All the major Covid variants have been fully isolated, sequenced, and studied -- there are many scientific papers described the characteristics of each variant.
