Doing The Math

Suddenly the anti-vaxxers all sing a new song
Claiming they’ve urged getting vaccinated all along
Despite months mocking vaccines and Joe Biden’s program too
They now say getting vaccinated’s the right thing to do.

Even Florida’s mini-Trump DeSantis has said
Getting vaccinated’s better than ending up dead

Maybe because with COVID spiking everywhere around

Across his state Republicans grow less there to be found.

On Fox even Sean Hannity is saying it is time

To get a vaccination shot in the arm or behind

And to take COVID seriously because vaccines work

Which is the exact opposite said before by the jerk.

I guess Republicans have finally realized if they’re dead

It gets much harder to cast votes that keep their side ahead

So maybe it’s not really smart to remain anti-vax

As COVID spikes across red states and high death rates extracts.

The only reason DeSantis and Hannity are saying

Perhaps maybe vaccine shots could stop COVID bugs from slaying

Is their side’s being decimated thanks to crap they’ve said

Before doing the math about unvaccinated dead.

Math they’re now doing indicates perhaps a vaccine shot

Is better than being the only party growing not

Because the less Republicans the more Dems there will be

And so they’ve changed their tune and anti-vaxxers ceased to be.

The pro-vaccine stance they’ve now taken is so very clear

It has nothing to do with empathy for those death’s near

It’s all about maintaining power which is hard to do

With your side’s voters drop like flies thanks to vax lies you spew.

So ‘Please Take COVID Seriously’ they say but they mean

They seriously cannot win with death counts grown obscene

Among those who they previously told to vax resist 

Which is why vaccination tops their revised ‘to do’ list.
