Conservative hostility to President Biden's vaccine push surges with Covid-19 cases on the rise.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson — a Republican who has said officials should work to boost vaccinations — claimed such an effort amounted to"trying to scare" people into taking the shots.
"It is certainly the case that we're increasingly two countries divided under Covid," he said."And what you will see in the coming weeks is really big increases in cases in a lot of places — especially in places with low vaccination rates." Republicans who have backed vaccines have felt compelled to say so, laying bare party divisions. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recently said he is"totally perplexed" by the ongoing resistance. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah,Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., had a more pointed response to the conservative characterization of the government’s vaccination efforts.
