Red States’ Covid Risk Skyrockets.
Covid risks are more pronounced in regions less inclined to believe in science and get vaccinated. The Hill
“According to data across 2,415 counties analyzed by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), the vaccination gap between counties that voted for Trump in the 2020 election and those that voted for President Biden has nearly doubled in less than two months.
As of May 11, an average of 28.5 percent of people in Trump counties were fully vaccinated, compared with 35 percent in Biden counties. As of Tuesday, the rate is 35 percent for Trump counties, compared with 46.7 percent in Biden counties.”
Vaccines are being rejected by large regions primarily located un red states and that is putting not only residents of their communities in those areas at increased risk but the nation as a whole. America now must try and reach people not only in low vaccinated locales but also mid and highly vaccinated areas as well to ensure that we are able to achieve herd immunity. Tragically, we did not reach the 70% vaccination threshold goal that the Biden Administration wanted to achieve by July 4th, but that does not mean we can’t aim for Labor Day!
