An NBC News poll captures the stark contrast, with overall U.S. pride at 56% including party leaners; Democratic pride has dropped from 85% in 2001. A Reuters/Ipsos survey of 1,537 adults from June 12-15 found only 27% of Democrats plan to display flags, compared to 64% of Republicans, and 24% see July 4th as a celebration of America versus 65% of Republicans. Gallup tracking shows Democrats at 36% last year after steady Republican levels above 90%, with the gap widening under different administrations and factors like youth views contributing to the trend.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Just 29% of Democrats feel extremely or very proud to be American, while 90% of Republicans do—a divide showing in flag displays and holiday plans.

A VA study of over 1 million veterans found the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine cut COVID-linked major heart events by 37.7%, with stronger 50.7% effectiveness in those over 75 and small absolute reductions like 2 fewer events per 10,000. Published June 15, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine, it tracked mostly older men after shots in late 2024, showing benefits for high-risk groups but drawing skeptic fire over tiny absolute gains, healthy vaccinee bias, and observational limits. Lead author Ziyad Al-Aly stressed skipping shots leaves heart protection untapped, while critics like Alex Berenson dismissed the relative risk figures as misleading.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

For older veterans, getting the updated COVID shot alongside their flu vaccine meant fewer heart attacks and strokes tied to infections. The findings highlight real protection, especially for those over 75.
