If you listen to the MSM and Biden it seems like only conservative Trump supporters are vax hesitant, but PhDs make up a sizable chunk of the unvaccinated.

Gotta wonder what drove them to survey based on educational level….

We all should know by now that Trump supporters are all dumber than a sack of rocks

So is this an indictment of vaccines or of the American higher education system? ;)

b/c about 80% of PhDs seem to support socialism, or at least those who are active in teaching, so not sure I'd go on their views as to what is best for us all. :) (j/k)

Surprised they can even vote, or walk upright.

PhD’s and nurses make up a significant number of the unvaccinated. However, the black population likely has the most unvaccinated on a percentage basis. Most counties in alaBama’s Black Belt have vaccine percentages in the low thirties. It’s not much better in Birmingham and Mobile where access to vaccine is ubiquitous.

They survey based on every possible demographic.

I ask why they published that particular piece of data because it is against the narrative.

I guess they are doing a study on how long it takes Facebook to fact check it and claim it is a misrepresentation.

My guess is there are more unvaccinated blacks than unvaccinated Trump supporters. The vaccinated blacks in AL has been hovering around 30%. The biggest reason seems to be mistrust of the CDC and the Federal Government in general. I sense very little of the resistance to vaccines in AL relates to politics.

Why is it not mandatory for congress to get the vaccine?

The MSM will never report that, even as they berate the Mississippi governor for the death rate in that state.

Because Dems are in the majority.

Or their staffs, or the millions of illegal aliens at the border. They're all exempt.

Just like how in LA you have to wear a mask in public unless you're famous and attending an awards show.

Apparently Covid is a very crafty virus. It only attacks those working at companies with more than 100 employees, military personnel, federal workers NOT in Congress, and federal contractors. I think the rest of us are all safe and can start group hugging. right?
