What’s the vaccine hesitancy driver?

One specific example, a video for Candace Owens popped up for me on some platform.
I hadn’t heard her in a year. I was just curious what she’d be talking about these days - and sure enough it was her talking about evil forces behind the vaccine.
You have made an error. It's the kind of error that's typical of those who lean left - you reworded her position and made it the opposite of the truth. Owens does not and never has talked about the evil forces behind the vaccine. Not once. In fact, when talking about the vaccine, she has done the exact opposite of what you say she's done. She supports the vaccine, and has consistently done so. The "evil forces" ( your words, not hers) she refers to are those trying to use government to force people take the vaccine, and the abuse of power involved and the assault on our Constitution it causes.
There is a HUGE difference between those two things. I'm not sure if you consciously misrepresented her position, or if you honestly dont understand what you did.
Right - she was talking about nefarious forces (people pushing mandates, drug companies trying to make profits, etc.). She follows a common tack of “just asking questions”. She spends most of her time (and I just checked, most of her Twitter feed), talking about how the vaccines have a lot of downsides. She’s not vaccinated herself either. She’s very vocal about that. But she stops short of saying “no one should get the vax”
The interesting thing for me was this correlation to politics. That she would spend time on her platform about politics talking about vaccine efficacy and safety.
That’s the correlation to politics I’m talking about.

I'm very well aware of the points she makes, as I have been watching her videos for several years now. But of course, since you are able to watch her one time and due to your intellectual superiority be able to understand her completely, I will bow to your ignorance and allow you to continue wallowing in it.

Guys, on the political front it’s not really rocket science. There is a large number of people that simply distrust centralized government and authority. There is a large number of people that think the opposite and prefer a central authority and tight regulations. It makes perfect sense that there are those on the right that distrust the vaccine based on the Government’s involvement and push in the matter. Those people are also more likely to be very pro-Trump simply because he didn’t treat them like shit and call them deplorable. That doesn’t mean that he is in any way responsible for their reaction to the vaccine.

One county does not a country make.
It's a good enough sample size. There's a trend. The more conservative, white, and Trump-supporting you are, the higher the chance you're unvaccinated.
You can also play the same game with urban minorities, too, and get pretty much the same results. Or with granola-munchers. Both of which are liberal-minded, so hey, that's two whole points for your team's column. Winning.

^^ This.
And this is supported quite solidly by a number of statistics and studies. But so is the fact that Trump lost in a landslide (by his metric), so maybe math isn’t enough here to prove the point. Probably louder yelling is needed.

Furthermore, at about the 4:17 mark, the discussion is about how we are medically making some mistakes with our blanket use of vaccines and boosters.
As soon as that presenter finishes, might want to listen to the LSU doc about vaccine hesitancy...
