Dirty little secret that the democrats and the media are ignoring is the terribly low vaccination rate of a key democrat constituency. Democrats and the media want to act like the unvaccinated are all Trumpers and Republicans but that simply couldn't be further from the truth. Why is that?

No one is ignoring it. That's why they included a lottery aspect to vaccinations. Blatantly obvious pandering to that demographic and which any cynic worth their salt would recognize.

trumpers, Blacks, and Hispanics.

(The latter two groups responding to availability of vaccine).

Between March 1 and July 19, the share of vaccinations going to Hispanic people increased in all states reporting data for both periods and increased for Black people in most reporting states. In a few cases, these increases were large. For example, the share of vaccinations going to Black people increased from 26% to 43% in DC and from 25% to 37% in Mississippi. Similarly, the share of vaccinations going to Hispanic people increased by at least 10 percentage points in six states, including Florida (17% to 30%), Nevada (13% to 25%), California (19% to 30%), New Jersey (6% to 17%), Texas (23% to 35%), and New York (9% to 19%). The share of vaccinations going to Asian people also increased in most states reporting data for both periods, while it fell for White people in most reporting states. The share going to White people declined by 10 percentage points or more in thirteen states (Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Alabama, Georgia, New Jersey, Tennessee, Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, and Maine, Illinois, and New York).

moron, your bus is leaving. this subject has been thoroughly dissected in various places, but the places you frequent - OAN, Newsmax, Gab, Rumble, et al - it probably doesn't get a lot of attention.

but it's striking that your definition of "dirty little secret" is the degree of media coverage for this subject, when in fact the "dirty little secret" impacting minority vax attitudes are experiences like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study

it's as if none of these issues actually matter to you at all - unless you can perceive/imagine/create an optics problem around it, whereupon you can then run off to find someone who wants to play fetch with it.

stop responding with facts. Craig 2.4 has no regard for them.

Media I listen to are not saying that. Why is that?

You're not being honest. If you listened to the WH Press Secretary, democrat politicians, CNN, MSNBC or the main networks other than Fox you would come to the wrong conclusion that white Trump supporters have the lowest rates of getting the vaccine. Why are they hiding or obscuring this fact? Why is reality so divergent from their rhetoric?

Let's look at the data for New Jersey.......one of the bluest of the blue states.
Vaccination for whites: 53%
Black: 8%
Its important to know that vaccine mega sites were put in the heart of areas with major concentrations of African American residents. They've now been shut down due to lack of interest. I know people who went to the Mega Site at the AC Convention center just a week or two into the vaccines being available and the place was empty. Walk right in and get the shot. After an initial rush people stopped coming. You can't blame lack of availability or cost. NJ certainly isn't rural and anyone who wants a shot can easily get one. Even the grocery stores here can give you the shot. So why is the vaccination rate among African Americans so low? Why are democrats painting such a dishonest picture of who the non-vaxed are?

Suddenly the people who see EVERYTHING as race want to avoid a serious conversation about why so few members of a particular race are getting the shot.
see above - the black community has a solid reason to distrust the medical community (and i learned this from the mainstream media) that other communities may not. what part of that do you not understand?

Do you give a similar pass to other segments of society who have lost trust in our government and its institutions along with the media?
