According to the CDC and other reliable sources, incidences of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths are decreasing in direct proportion to inoculation levels. Coincidentally, or perhaps not, communities of progressive, left-leaning, Democratic people (think Oregon, California, Washington, New York) are far more likely to be vaccinated than right-leaning conservative anti-vaccination Republican folks (think Texas, Florida, Mississippi). If these trends continue into the future, it bodes well for our democratic system of governance. You can’t vote from the grave.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
