Who is getting the COVID-19 Vaccine?

It's scary that how politicalize vaccination is in US as many are not choosing vaccinate because it gives Biden a win. Hence the slow down in their vaccination rate.

I mentioned it earlier, but vaccine hesitancy in the US is very real. Blacks and Indigenous both have fairly legitimate historical reasons for being weary of the health system. Latinos worry for immigration reasons. And like you said, conservatives have a political reason not to.

Many are not choosing vaccination because it gives Biden a win. Causing the slowdown in vaccination rates.

Where do people dig up these ass nugget anecdotes.

Or that AstraZeneca isn't approved in the US because they're preferentially favouring USA firms.

It is ridiculous but it’s true. 45% of republicans say they aren’t getting it:

Now that said, I would bet money that it would be the opposite if trump was still prez.

Only in America could something as benign as a vaccine (created by scientists, not politicians) be so politicized.

Edit: here’s the actual poll if you don’t want to read the “fake news NYT”. Scroll down to #34

Only in America .. is a statement that can be used for so much

[killramos]

While 45% of republicans may not get vaccinated.

Statesmen’s like “they aren’t getting vaccinated because Joe Biden” or “they would get vaccinated if trump won” are about a stupid as not getting vaccinated.

[sabad66]

What is the reason then if not politicization? Are republicans just generally dumber/don't believe in science? Or are the traditional anti-vaxx hippies/suburban moms now identifying as republicans for some odd reason? Or maybe conservatives generally want to appear tough compared to the liberal soyboys?

[killramos]

Would it make you feel better if I was to make up a bunch of weird unfounded claims that’s support my internal stereotypes too?

Someone on here was already flaunting the vaccine increased his length & girth. I'd rather get vaccinated than risk being average.

The USA may have actual legitimate statistics based on political party affiliations and vaccination rates. But I'm guessing this is an anecdote. As Buster says, anecdotes are his favourite asset class.

If you believe that the case stats are accurate in any way shape or form, then virtually the entire population of the USA has had it.

May be I should put it in less triggering scientific terms:

Nine of the top 10 states on this metric are states Biden won last year. Eight of the bottom 10 states for vaccination are ones Trump won in 2020.

Now may be we can argue about cause and effect.

[ExtraSlow]

Spurious correlation your Honor!

[sabad66]

Everyone here would agree that the whole pandemic is very politicized in one way or another. If people don't think it extends to vaccine hesitancy then that's just being naïve IMO.

[killramos]

You literally made a statement that people weren’t getting vaccinated because it would “give Biden a win”.

Would love to see your “scientific terms” for that conclusion.

Because, from where I am standing, it just sounds you are spewing political BS like the rest of the fake news floating around the internet.

Maybe you are doing that intentionally, in which case you are an asshole. Or maybe you believe it, in which case you are stupid.

What’s naive is spewing bullshit conclusions like “vaccine rollout is slowing down because republicans are pouty about Joe Biden”.

Do you people even read the trash you post?

[ExtraSlow]

Can you guys point to a white paper or something please?

What’s your take on it? Why else would there be such a disparity between two parties?

I know it’s much easier to just simply call every differing opinion dumb (although it is your MO), but let’s hear it.

[killramos]

Like I said, would you feel better if I made something stupid up for you?

How about... Joe Biden has been selectively vaccinating states that voted for him instead of states that voted for Trump? Its not true, it may align with the data you guys have posted but its still BS, just like there is also no credible basis to support that there is any significant vaccination hesitancy rooted in Donald Trump losing the election.

Just because you spout BS that doesn't come from or align with Q Anon, doesn't make what you are saying is any less stupid or wrong. Try spending a bit less time on facebook as others have mentioned.

My take? I don't actually know what the answer is, but that doesn't mean I should spout and enable conspiracy theories masquerading as truth that support my preconceived opinions. That shit is what's wrong with the world, and that's why I take offense with it. Someone doesn't need to have all the answers for you to be wrong.
