There are a lot of differing medical opinions on the coronavirus and the vaccines for the coronavirus. Somehow the prevention and treatment of a disease has become political. I don’t understand how or why that happened, but it is now a reality. The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article on Thursday that further illustrates this divide.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Nearly two years after former President Donald Trump<\/a> tossed politics into the nation\u2019s battle against the coronavirus, the partisan divide appears to have grown, with Republicans fighting mandates and Democrats calling for harsh punishments for those who refuse to get vaccinated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an expanded survey of the public\u2019s view of mandates and punishments to get people vaccinated, Rasmussen Reports<\/a> found that Democrats even support fines, home confinement, and prison for those who fight the government on masks and shots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Consider: Twenty-nine percent of Democrats would go so far as to support taking children away from parents who refused to be vaccinated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Next came a question on President Joe Biden\u2019s mandate that companies of 100 employees or more should demand workers to get vaccinated. Just 22% of Republicans agreed, while Democrats were all in at 78%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asked if voters favor a federal or state fine for those who refuse a vaccine, only 19% of Republicans said \u201cfavor\u201d to 55% of Democrats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conclusion of the article is frightening:<\/p>\n

Rasmussen next asked if people favor home confinement for those who are not vaccinated. On the GOP side, 79% were opposed, while 59% of Democrats favored it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The survey also asked about those who challenge the government\u2019s view of vaccines and if opponents should be jailed or fined for questioning it on social media. A remarkable 48% of Democrats supported those punishments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And nearly half of Democrats favored fixing tracking devices on those who refused to vaccinate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rasmussen added that Biden supporters would go even further than Democrats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Biden\u2019s strongest supporters are most likely to endorse the harshest punishments against those who won\u2019t get the COVID-19 vaccine. Among voters who have a Very Favorable impression of Biden, 51% are in favor of government putting the unvaccinated in \u201cdesignated facilities,\u201d and 54% favor imposing fines or prison sentences on vaccine critics,\u201d said the pollster.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems as if the Democrat party has forgotten the concepts of freedom and equality.<\/p>\n
