I don’t listen to politicians on what I should or shouldn’t do. So this retard can have the entire Republican Party stand up and tell us to take the jab and we’ll ignore them like the other idiots.
But a lot of these differences in vaccine rates are likely driven by partisanship at the individual level. Sometimes the relationships we see at aggregate levels (like states or counties) actually obscure a different pattern at the individual level. But not in this case.
As public opinion surveys have demonstrated since the beginning of the pandemic, Republicans and Democrats have very different assessments of the disease and just how dangerous it is.
After thinking about this, how accurate is this study? Is it for whites only? It’s like 47-49% of whites have received a shot, I know white conservatives who did in the very beginning in the hype, so this sample of whites is even somewhat off.
Are they suggesting 61% of Hispanics(39% vaccination rate) and 66% of blacks(34% vaccination rate) voted for Trump? Or don’t their pets count?
Most the conservatives I knew were against the jab even while Trump was in office. Even at his current rallies he promotes it yet nobody is running out to get it.
Liberals called it the Trump vaccine and were against it, thought it was rushed etc(the same concerns the un-jabbed still have). I always wonder if they would’ve lined up if Trump got re-elected.
