Hmm... I don't know if it runs strictly along political lines, but my firm impression is that there are a lot more Trumpers who won't get vaccinated than liberals. Lord, everywhere I look it is pretty clear his base is "I ain't gonna get vaccinated" vs the hyper-nagging liberals who won't shut up about it.
Even among my family members, half the ones who
are vaccinated did it against their will (their employer made them do it) and they won't shut up about it.
I cannot vouch for accuracy (it is Vox, for gods sake) but it's possiblly true
Quote:
Regions where large majorities backed Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election have far lower vaccination rates than people in areas that voted for Joe Biden. The effect is visible at the state level and the county level, and it scales with the share of the vote. Almost all US counties below 20 percent vaccination rates lean Republican, and almost all above 65 percent lean Democratic.
But there are other fault lines as well. “There have really been persistent gaps between white people compared to Black and Hispanic people, with Black and Hispanic rates lagging behind pretty consistently across states,” said Samantha Artiga, vice president and director of racial equity and health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
At the start of July, the vaccination rate was about 15 percent lower for Black people than for white people in the US, and the rate for Hispanic people was about 3 percent lower. Asian Americans have maintained an even higher vaccination rate than white Americans, well above 70 percent of all adults. Recently, the gaps have begun to narrow, but disparities still remain, especially at the state level. As the chart below shows, Black people make up 12 percent of the US population but only account for 9 percent of people who have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
