At a Republican event in Kentucky on Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made an appeal to the fellow men of his party, urging them to set aside skepticism and get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible. “I can stand here as a Republican man — as soon as it was my turn, I took the vaccine,” McConnell said. “I would encourage all Republican men to do that ... Take the vaccination.”McConnell went on to outline the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines in comparison to the flu shot. “Two of them are 90 percent effective,” McConnell said. And I didn’t realize until this pandemic began that the flu shot is only 50 percent effective, and a whole lot of people get the flu shot.
