White topped pitcher plant against a blue sky.

Orange and red bloom of a pitcher plant, plus flute of a white topped pitcher plant.

Vaccine disinfo is rampant in Red States. Viruses don’t care about your political beliefs. They have existed for billions of years. Viruses thrive on replication and DNA changes for survival.
