I'd amend that to say that folks who have no problem with the vaccines, but for medical reasons have either decided or have been advised not to get one themselves, don't fit into that category.
Sure, there are medical reasons, and there may be other valid reasons too, but as a movement, it's not humanity's finest hour. And I don't mean just Covid, but the whole anti-vaccination bollocks.

The entire anti-vaccination movement is based on people being fucking idiots.
Does that include the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential election who said they would never take a "Trump vaccine?"

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

Sure. It was an incredibly stupid, and also a highly cynical thing to say. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Any other questions?

Well, that's just re-emphasising how stupid people are.
It's worse than that
They are no darned good

the government didn't invent vaccines.
A Turkish immigrant in Germany did.

Unlike the ones where you need a booster shot, it's the one where they give you one really annoying prick.

Think y'all missed a big'un.
Country folks are vaccinated at lower rates, especially among younger people. There's several reasons at play.
- Country folks are conservative, for the most part. While most of the older people are vaxxed, a lot of the younger ones have adopted a wait and see attitude.
- COVID doesn't seem to be quite as rampant as in town. Maybe it's because country folks are more spread out and probably outside more.
- Country folks tend to be more religious, at least down here. Maybe it's fatalism or maybe it's a deep faith in the afterlife, but many simply refuse to live in fear. If they get it, they get it. They get better or die. If they die, there's something better on the other side.

This is the one that gets me. I believe you, they’re less fearful… BUT their fear of vaccine > fear of Covid.
I’m probably more nonchalant to the chances of getting Covid than most I know, but I didn’t even think twice about side effects for the vaccine.
We’ve been pumping ourselves and our kids with those for decades (to great effect)

@xenon said in Nah, ain’t about politics at all:
@bachophile I don't think it's necessarily mistrust of government. It's a cultural signal to be anti-vax. Some people are getting vaxxed in secret so their family and friends don't know.
It's a similar phenomenon to virtue signaling.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if there is vaccination going on behind the backs of family and friends. I wish more would.

@brenda I think you are right.
When people are asked if they will get vaccinated (for job reasons, etc), there is a relatively "high" percent that say they would never do it.
For example, one US medical group workers said that 20% or so would not get vaccinated.
However, when final results were in, the un-vaccinated were less than a couple %.

"Strong Conservative", after survived hospitalization with COVID-19, decides to get vaccinated, but is losing friends over it.
