Dear MoveOn member,

U.S. COVID-19 cases are up nearly 27% in the last three weeks, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.^3 Cases are rising
quickly in the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast, where states like Maine
and Massachusetts are seeing record case counts.^4,5,6
The increase in cases is being driven by people who have not yet been
vaccinated and those who are refusing to do so. About 60% of the U.S.
population is fully vaccinated.^7
The good news is that, with children ages 5 to 11 now eligible for the
COVID-19 vaccine, already 3 million kids have received their first
COVID-19 vaccination.^8 In addition, the CDC yesterday approved Moderna
and Pfizer's COVID vaccine boosters for all adults.^9
Much of the hesitancy from unvaccinated people is coming from rampant
misinformation about COVID and vaccines spreading online and, crucially,
by Republican politicians themselves.
Far-right Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken the lead, banning many mask
and vaccine mandates recommended by public health officials and throwing
his support to anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists—human cost be damned.^10
Make no mistake, Abbott's decision is a political one: He hopes that by
riling up the Republican base and weaponizing public health advice he can
win his reelection in 2022, using the same playbook that gave Republicans
victories in Virginia earlier this month.^11
MoveOn is doing everything in its power to fight back, including preparing
to run an enormous campaign to defeat COVID conspiracy-peddling
Republicans up and down the ballot during next year's midterm elections.
We'll be rolling out our plans in the coming weeks, but if you want to get
involved right now—and protect your vaccine card from damage at the same
time!—you can order one of our free "Pro-Science, Pro-Health, Pro-Vaccine"
card holders to help spread the word and fight back against right-wing
misinformation!
