I dunno, weird that the COVID truthers whose beef is personal autonomy aren't advocating to remove tuberculosis laws.
You think they know those exist? Or what tuberculosis is? They heard about polio once in high school.
(most Southern segregationist were Democrats).
I get that this is bait, but the southern strategy isn't exactly clandestine knowledge anymore.
That's probably about the most useless way to look at the data imaginable, not that I expect much better from the fake news. What would be more useful is the percentage of each population that is vaxed or not, not a survey of race among the entire vaxed population.
So while plenty of others have brought up some of the visualizations, I wanted to crunch into the numbers even more. This here is the
CDC vaccination demographic thingy, which is a giant pain in the ass to look through at a glance. You have to filter it for the most recent date, then filter it for those listings which concern the race_eth tag. Then chuck out the race_eth_known and race_eth_unknown tags to purely get a gander at the demographic goodness. A little glance through the attached data dictionary, and the key column looks to be Series_Complete_Pop_Pct_US. Cross-referencing this
with the 2020 census demographic data WE GEEEET
whites: 44.1/61.6 = 71.5% vaxx0red
hispanics: 14.9/18.7 = 79.6%
asians: 5.2 / 6 = 86.7%
blacks: 7.6/12.4 = 61.3%
AIAN: .6 / 1.1 = 54.5%
NHOPI: .2/.2 = 100%

Other/multiethnic/super-special: 4.5/8.4 = 53.6%
I have the sparklefairies split off because the other demographics already sum to 100% of the population, and in fairness the main use of that statistic is multiethnic.
This means that blacks, injuns, and sparklefairies are lagging behind. The data here is a little bit old, but t
his little HHS document reflects some stats about whether people are really feeling getting the jab. There are some things to note with the graph on page six - firstly, that the "3" value on a 1-5 ("unsure about getting the vaccine") has been counted as "unvaccinated but willing" and that the graph overestimates vaccination status based the fact that it is relying on the poll-taker's response. Page 5 optimistically assumes that this would imply a greater rate of 'willing but not vaccinated,' though it could just as well be people unwilling but not wanting to say so.
Three of the demographics stand out as particularly anti-vax: whites, blacks, and sparklefairies. Yet blacks also list the highest level of "unvaccinated but willing," suggesting there may be some truth to the idea that distribution hasn't been especially good. Additionally, this also confirms to me that hafus are really into conspiracies.
Yeah I'm definitely going to be driven off by a batch of 2021 join dates with 20 IQs.
I don't know about you but I shit myself in fear of my reddit karma going down, whatever will I do if people make fun of me on the internet
