Viral Politics

 There seem to be two camps that have arisen in the US about the Covid-19 virus. Those who support the scientists and medical professionals, and those who support the virus. 

Viruses are not political. They are just tiny particles that act as mobile genetic elements.

The scientists are not political. They just look at the data and come to a conclusion.

I don't understand why a political party would deliberately promote behavior that will result in the spread of the virus such as not wearing masks, not getting vaccinated, gathering in large crowds.

This virus should have been a unifying principle with both parties joining together to defeat the common enemy of the people (the virus). Instead one party decided early on to go in the opposite direction. It is just incomprehensible to me.

Both parties should support wearing masks, both parties should support vaccinations, both parties should support social distancing, both parties should support hand washing.

I think they should require vaccinations to fly on an airplane. That would probably get more people to get vaccinated.
