What’s the vaccine hesitancy driver?
-
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...

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
