Everything about this pandemic, from how folks reacted to it to how they feel about the vaccine is far more complicated than the simple partisan divides that have been presented in media stories.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:
Latest Data on COVID-19 Vaccinations by Race/Ethnicity | KFF
KFF is collecting and analyzing data on COVID-19 vaccinations by race/ethnicity to gain increased insight who is receiving the vaccine and whether some groups are facing disparities in vaccination.www.kff.org

The rural white Americans live in more sparsely populated areas that are less effected by COVID outbreaks. The greater concern would be getting to maximum vaccine uptake in urban areas and places with higher population density, so hopefully these demographic trends shift soon.
The folks who actively participated in the overt politicization of the pandemic should be strung up for the damage they’ve done. They’ve prevented any chance that ever existed to not just present folks with reasoned options, but also made it near impossible to correctly identify issues that may prevent folks from making reasoned choices.
This is the point where I would normally say ‘a pox on them all’ but the pox is already on us all.
