#TrumpVirus is leading cause of death among law enforcement

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said in a recent
midyear report that Covid-19 is the leading cause of death for officers
nationwide. According to the nonprofit, from Jan. 1 to June 30, 71
officers died of Covid-related causes, more than firearm and
traffic-related incidents combined. The number has continued climbing
since the report was released, with 133 officers having died of Covid to
date this year, the nonprofit said.

Last year, more law enforcement officers died of Covid-19 than any other
cause, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Many police officers died before a vaccine was widely available or
before they could get vaccinated, and while performing jobs that put
them in close contact with their communities as the virus spread. But
others have lost their lives as people around the country, including law
enforcement officers, resist vaccination.

Even as Covid-19 surpasses other causes of death for law enforcement
officers, many police unions, including in Chicago, New York and
Seattle, have fiercely opposed vaccine mandates.

At a coronavirus briefing Monday, New Jersey State Police Superintendent
Col. Patrick Callahan said he believed officers' reluctance to get
vaccinated had contributed to the apparent Covid-19 related deaths last
week of 22 law enforcements officers nationwide.
