Ignorance and stupidity don’t respect international borders
You still haven’t explained how you know the innermost thoughts and motivations of Republicans
Nor have you provided a more relevant graph to support your assertions
Not a claim that I have made.
I pointed out your claims that Republicans (or Democrats) are homogenous in their reasons for their adoption or delay in adoption of the vaccine were homogeneous, depending on the political party affiliation, were absurd, and incorrect.
Your implied claim, or outright claim, is tabloid level stuff.
Here is how adoption really gets driven.
Monkey see, monkey do.
Can’t be just any monkey.
Must be power node monkeys that resonate with that individual.
However, individual reasons for non-adoption of any technology, will vary by individual.
I am lucky enough to live in a country with the highest uptake of the vaccine in the world
I am dismayed by the rejection of mankind’s best way out of this pandemic
I want USA to succeed and be a bright becon of hope and freedom, but the way things are going i fear the American spirit will eat it’s own tail

Yes, you are.
Yes, you do claim to speak for Republicans
This should not be a partisan issue.

I agree, but it has unfortunately become so
Doofa, the graphs you are posting, are pure pseudo-scientific driven.
Polls or survey instruments, anything self-reported, especially that is check box driven, have to be approached with extreme skepticism.
If you really want to understand individuals, or groups, better than that, it takes quite of lot of free flow interpretive research.
Which is why ethnography is a difficult discipline, in practice.
I would be delighted to review your super scientific graphs
Yet you seem reticent to post any
I wonder why?

Graphs are not the appropriate scientific way to remit information on why individuals have, or do not have motivation to do things.
Individuals are individuals.
When you code down their answers into simplified buckets, you aggregate them into averages.
Those aggregates are often rarely reflective of the individual responses.
Their individual responses may be very distinct colors of the rainbow, but the more you aggregate their responses, the more everything seems the very different color of aggregation, ie, red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo, violet are all very different responses than white, but aggregate them, and white is what the common response seems to be, when combined and averaged.

I think the expression is “yada yada yada”
Hey, I gave you my full attention, and appreciation, when you explained the differences between the spades and shovels.
I was being sincere, and informative, from my discipline, and an area of expertise, when I explained what I just explained.
It is generally a mistake to take individuals, particularly self-reported check box measures, and then over-generalize, or over stereotype other individuals, despite if they have similar demographics, when it comes to the other individuals’ head space, or motivations, or usefully predicting what they will do in the future.
I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings, but the fact remains the same
People who identify as Republican are way less likely to get vaccinated, and are less likely to vote for an Republican candidate that does not share their ideology on vaccination
That is why I suspect that a “no comment” to inquiries about representatives, Republican ones, is due to them having received the vaccine, because not stupid, but not wanting to lose favour with their proletariat base, that are prone to conspiracy theorism and are weighted towards vaccine scepticism
Or they’d just say “No”
I sure see a lot of masks in those pics, but whatever.
Still not sure what your point is. I sure hope it’s not protests were the big super spreader events…no evidence of that, but feel free to show some.
Washington State is doing better than Oklahoma in every single COVID category though, even though it has twice the population.
Why do you think that is? Protesters, or Oklahoma’s abysmally low vaccination rates?
You posted out of state protests as a red herring because your state vaccination rate sucks.
You’re politicizing the pandemic again.
Ironic coming from you, considering you are posting pics of protesters.
Gordon AKA Dr. Gonzo AKA REDACTED is irrelevant, a climate change denialist, and was kicked off the island.
This is a really good analogy for data loss due to aggregation and the ecological fallacy.
look at this sub… This is gold.

You do not hurt my feelings, I merely am trying to motivate you learn something, or a concept, that may or may not be new to you.
