Analysis: A year into coronavirus vaccinations, the central point of resistance is clear.
This. Trump continued to say that vaccination should be a choice, the go-to rationale for those seeking to rationalize not getting vaccinated and those who hope to earn that group’s vote. But, still: Get vaccinated, don’t die. A useful message.who are least likely to get a dose of a coronavirus vaccine. By now, the divide on party is much wider than the divides on race or class in predicting who has received at least one dose of a vaccine.
In January, the unvaccinated were about evenly distributed among White Democrats, White Republicans and White independents. Now almost no White Democrats aren’t unvaccinated, so White Republicans make up far more of the unvaccinated population. If we compare that with the number of unvaccinated Americans over that period , we see declines in each race/party group — but more modest ones among Republicans.
This is a rough estimate, applying polling data to the CDC’s data for the middle of each month, but it is still revealing. Since January, the number of unvaccinated White Republicans has dropped by 50 percent, while the number among White Democrats has fallen by an estimated 98 percent. Among non-White Republicans, the drop was around 30 percent; for non-White Democrats, about 80 percent.
The effort for more than a year now has been to get each of those arrows down to the bottom. For nearly every expert involved in that push, including those who, like Biden, are otherwise deeply critical of Trump, the former president’s advocacy in getting more people to get shots is a welcome addition to the conversation.
