Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

So having followed this thread, I am confused.

According to the latest CDC/US Government stats the lowest number of vaccinations by  ethnic group is african americans - only 23% have been vaccinated.

According to some here ( and the spokesman for the administration  - Dr Fauci ) the problem with vaccine resistance relates primarily to red states and right wing conspiracy theorists.

Could someone explain why there are so many african american right wing conspiracists. And how is it possible that up to 75% of african americans actually live in red states - I thought the bulk of them live in blue state cities. Am I missing something.

@dover 

Your stats are misleading. Access for many is still troublesome in some areas. Recent trends however show disproportionate vaccine uptake among several ethnicities which may indicate the barriers are dropping. Those identifying as white received over 200% of the vaccines early on when compared to their percentage of the overall population. Strangely enough, that trend has almost completely reversed and wouldn't you know it, the current trend indicates that vaccinations will soon be tracking with the percentage of population representation.

Why is it deemed cute to post something like that @dover ? Take the shots, don't take the shots, but to make a back handed inference is truly unfortunate.

Dover, You are too smart to be that legitimately confused. What is your ulterior motive? Aren’t you in New Zealand anyway, where the disease was controlled and is controlled perhaps better than anywhere else in the world? And yet I think you were once complaining about the permissiveness in New Zealand. Yes, both African-Americans and right wing Americans have been relatively resistant to the vaccine, but for different reasons. Anyway, as you suggest, the two groups do not overlap very much. And your mis- use of statistics in formulating your question is beneath you.
