    Well, its a failure in % of the population that is vaccinated, especially in Black and Latino communities (although Latino ones have done a little better). Newest outbreaks are in these communities in LA right now though.

    For sure, assholes have convinced idiots not to get vaccinated. That has nothing to do with distribution.

    Anybody in those areas can go get vaccinated tomorrow if they want.

    Its a failure in educating the public, then. Or at least those that aren't getting vaccinated.

    that’s not Biden’s doing. The previous admin and related parties had a strong hand in scaring people away from the vaccine.

    Trump was the one who pushed the vaccine, despite skepticism from Dems and the media.

    google trump and anti-vaccine. There’s a lot there as well. And read up on how heavily he was planning to politicize it to re-up his presidency, if the vaccine had come another month or so sooner….

    Sure, there are a lot of Trumpers who are vocally anti-vaccine. How has Trump scared people from a Vaccine which he pushed hard for, despite the skepticism and criticism from his enemies?

    Despite not making overt anti-vaccination statements as president, Trump had published dozens of tweets linking vaccinations with autism in the past, such as one in 2014 that read: “Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!” Research has found that Americans who voted for Trump in 2016 were particularly prone to anti-vaccination attitudes and that these attitudes were exacerbated by his tweets.

    "Frankly, we're lucky we have the vaccine, but the vaccine on very young people is something that you gotta really stop" -- Trump, pushing anti-vax talking points on Hannity

    Like everything else Trump has done, he has create a bunch of confusion for uneducated idiots so they’re afraid to make any sort of researched or informed opinion. That’s more than enough.

    Conservatives/the right have long-been anti-vaccine types.

    All of that was from 2014, you're digging here (7 years in the past)

    Yes, we all know that, but what's your point? And if you say it's my head like my grandmother says then I'm going to explode and throw a tantrum.

    Only population makes sense. The other stats are for curiosity.
