The Misinformation From The Left Continues


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.

Did you not read that or were you hoping I wouldn’t?

I read it. And I understood it. I also know that, based on the very data vox is citing there, flatly more Americans in "blue" counties are unvaccinated.

The data I cited are accurate.

And the point is proven. It's not a republican problem. Rather, people respond to their own risk profiles and resources. Hence, the young and poor are unvaccinated. Also, disproportionately black and Hispanic.

And most of them live in "blue" counties, as the article demonstrates.

Maybe you could quote that specific part?
 
Where's the bit about blue counties?
 
I wasn’t sure which thread to post this on.
San Francisco public health is offering higher risk people who got the J&J vaccine a Pfizer or Moderna booster. The J&J doesn’t work as well as the other approved vaccines (mRNA). I can research how effective it is but it’s clearly less effective against delta.
If anyone on DP git the J&J shot it might be worth talking to your doctor (statistics in hand!) about getting a booster shot, especially if you are high risk.
FYI
Edit: here’s a little information about the relative effectiveness of the vaccines:
