EDIT: I've got nothing else to add to this other than, you'll notice the loud minority. 1 person saying "sheeple" (bit weird) sticks out compared to 10 in that same business not caring.
ST. LOUIS -- Brewing company Anheuser-Busch announced Wednesday that it's partnering with the White House to give one free beer to Americans 21+ once 70% of U.S. adults are partially vaccinated.
To date, 62.8% of the adult U.S. population have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 133.6 million are fully vaccinated.
Sounds like a pretty racist language based on the delivery of the comments, but demographics-wise, it appears to be fairly accurate as far as vaccine uptake. I don't think anyone can make any meaningful conclusions on WHY there is a demographic split - just speculation:I just read a post by someone who left me shaking my head. He was arguing that it's not rural Americans/Republicans who are resisting getting the vaccine. "It's the libs. More specifically Illegals and blacks in urban centers who don't trust the government."
My two aunts, uncle, father and stepfather who are all republicans living in rural areas and big Trumpies all will not be getting the vaccine. If you ask them if they will be getting a vaccine it's a very definitive "Hell No". They don't want to be a guinea pig to a new vaccine. I also believe they object to it because the government is asking them to get it.
While that doesn't represent all rural Americans who lean republican, I'd suspect there are more of them who are resistant to getting a vaccine than "illegals" or "blacks".
