As BuzzFeed's politics lead, my job is to do the doomscrolling for you. “By 2020 we have pretty clear evidence of a gap in which conservatives are less healthy than liberals," study coauthor Elizabeth Elder told Fast Company. "Do what you want with your body. But it’s consistently pushed in right-leaning social media, in 'traditional' churches, and amongst conservative friend groups to stay away from conventional medication for even the most easily cured cancers. Edited to add: between refusing vitamin K, refusing RhoGAM, promoting free birthing, and anti-vaccines, the mortality rates for their infants will only rise." "What always made me laugh...[was that] world leaders were getting vaccinated, but no, no, they were trying to take out Jim Bob in the sticks. Those morons also had to be told by the CDC to not drink bleach, as well, since Dear Leader thought it would help." This comment likely refers to some doctors who chose to flee red states following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. To which InevitableHimes added, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." "Who could've guessed the group of people that thinks horse dewormer is safer than a vaccine is dying at higher rates than those that trust science and medicine experts. 🙋" LikeWisedUp wrote. "Dying to own the libs," Southern_Common335 said. ➡️ Share your views in the comments. I neeeed to know what you're thinking.
