Ignorance Goes Viral
Part of the reason for the GOP/QAnon’s success in spreading misinformation about COVID-19 is the failure of public education, especially in the ignorance-rich Red States, to adequately teach biology. An alarmingly large number of Americans seem to have virtually no knowledge of viruses in general and how they spread and mutate in particular. And no clue on how vaccines work, even though even most of the most fanatical Trumpers have been vaccinated for something, say as a condition for school admission.
Their ignorance, willful or otherwise, has lately spread the Delta variant of the disease much faster and wider than otherwise would have been the case, which in turn has undermined our freedom to move around and get back to normal life. It’s the anti-vaxxers who are taking away our liberty, not those health officials and others who are desperately urging people to get their shots.
