Why conservatives are large percentage of unvaccinated

And nary a word about the vaccine or how Trump politicized it as has been claimed. Thanks for playing and have a nice day mate.
Article from Nov 2020:

Emily Murphy, head of the General Services Administration, is refusing to sign the paperwork authorizing funds, office space and access to government records to smooth the transition for the incoming Biden administration. This violates norms established by the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, as well as the law: The Presidential Transition Act requires that the outgoing administration provide resources to the incoming administration.

But the Trump administration has stopped all transition efforts, activities and funding, and that will slow, if not completely halt, efforts to get vaccines to the American people. Since the transition hasn’t been formally approved, the vital information the next administration needs is either being shared in limited ways through unofficial channels, or not at all. The inevitable result if this continues is that the Biden Covid-19 response team will have to waste valuable time getting up to speed and retracing the few steps this administration has already taken.


 
Like I said, the 'participation' was no more than a purchasing deal.
Works for me.


Sharon Castillo provided a statement that said the company is indeed part of Operation Warp Speed.


"Robert Wachter, professor and chair of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said that the federal government's advance guarantees to purchase large quantities of coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer and from its competitors "de-risked the enterprise, for Pfizer and others." Wachter said the development of previous vaccines has been slowed by the fact that "the payoff at the end is uncertain and the companies are very risk averse."

Your article is clearly titled "opinion". Nice try though.

Here's an example of politicizing the vaccine.


"this interview in September of 2020, Biden outright suggested it would be unsafe to take a coronavirus vaccine shot because then-President Donald Trump “continues to mislead and lie.’

“An enormous pressure put on the CDC not to put out the detailed guidelines. Enormous pressure being put on the FDA to say the following protocol will have a giant impact on COVID. All these things turn out not to be true, and when a president continues to mislead and lie,” he said.

“When we finally do, God willing, get a vaccine, who’s going to take the shot? Who’s going to take the shot? Are you going to be the first one to say sign me up?”

Why bring race into this? Nobody but you has done so.
It's relevant as a kind of test. I'm trying to assess whether Caught' thinks these folks are "dumbasses" because they have chosen not to be vaccinated or because they're conservative. Let's let him answer to find out.
 
No one who doesn't campaign beat Trump.
So, desperately trying to avoid the truth. I imagine you are like many other R's. You know President Biden was elected fairly, but your desire to stick to the lie makes you post ridiculous statements.

Once more...Was President Biden fairly elected last November?

Nope.
 
Simple really. Conservatives are wary of government and rightly so. They tend to want to make their own decisions based on information they glean for themselves.
Leftist on the other hand like government that tells them what to do and makes decisions for them. Lifes just simpler that way and government replaces your parents. You never really have to grow up.

In this covid pandemic that leads to vaccine hesitancy by cons especially after Fauci lied right out of the gate and democrats said they wouldn't take "Trumps vaccine".



"Asked during a Sept. 2020 CNN interview whether she’d get the vaccine if it were released before the election, Harris said, “Well, I think that’s gotta be an issue for all of us.”

During that same interview, she claimed that scientists were being “muzzled,” “suppressed” and sidelined.”

“Because he’s looking at an election coming up in less than 60 days and he’s grasping to get whatever he can to pretend he has been a leader on this issue when he is not,” she said.

However, Moncef Slaoui, the then-chief adviser to Operation Warp Speed, confirmed at the time that none of this was true: “I have to say there has been absolutely no interference,” he said, as reported by CNN.




Anthony Fauci lied about masks; now he complains that people 'distrust authority'​


And now more conservatives are dying as a result of bad decision making. Oh well, decisions have consequences.

Indeed. If you choose not to vaccinate and get a terminal case of covid you made your choice to roll the dice and you lost. Same thing every time you get in a car.
 
Cons make up a disproportionate percentage of the unvaccinated. Trump supporters are more anti establishment than conservative although they to make up a disproportionate percentage of Trump supporters.
I simply claim that they are not really conservative-----just in name
