Not according to the department of health. It actually tracks along racial lines. I think it is a combination of libertarians and black people.

You just linked the same page I linked at you. Look at the map and compare the Delta and other majority black counties to the white rural counties in the Eastern part of the state.
Yes, white vaccination rates compare favorably because of white suburbans and white liberals like me getting it at extremely high rates. But there is a huge gulf in vaccination rates between white suburbans and white rural, or white Biden supporters and white Trump supporters, or however you want to label it.
I'm just looking at the second page where it says 58% of vaccinations in MS are to whites, who make up 57% of the population, while 36% are to blacks who make up 37% of the population.
And considering the overwhelming number of whites in MS are conservative, the white vaccination rate has to be driven by conservatives, not liberals.
You should look at the whole document instead of the one number that appears to confirm your preexisting notions. All of the white rural counties are very low, but places like Madison and Rankin (not liberal counties, but suburban ones) are pulling it up, as are the college towns. Those may not be liberal, but they're not the white rural counties that are refusing vaccination at the highest rates in every state.
Basically every county with the a rate in the 20s is rural and mostly white. The Delta is doing better than those.
As someone who works around it daily and has yet to get it… masks work, the vaccine works, distancing works. GET. THE. VACCINE. PLEASE!!! For us healthcare workers that are stretched so thin… please!!!!! If you don’t want a total and complete collapse of the healthcare system in the United States, we have to vaccinate the population and stop this. If we have another outbreak like we did before, there will be no 911 system to respond to your calls, no nurses to help you, no money to run the hospitals, etc. the healthcare system as you know it will cease to exist. Trust me. It is currently teetering on imploding as it sits now due to the first pandemic, it won’t survive a second.
What? There is no way from that county chart for you to know which people (black or white) in which counties are getting vaccinated. For example, there is no way from that chart to tell if the 30% of people in Scott county who have received a shot are black, white, liberal, or conservative.
But the chart im directing you to literally tells you how many blacks and many whites have received the shot.
Not sure where you live, but in Mississippi, you cannot label white suburbans and white rural as white biden supporters and white trump supporters. You can call them white trump supporters and ardent white trump supporters maybe? But I'm not sure trump support really breaks down on those lines.
Also, the white rural counties in the eastern part of the state used to be where a lot of the white democrats were. Not positive, but I think those were the latter state house and senate seats to flip from democrat to republican. Maybe they've got a bunch of trump crossover voters now; not sure.
Y'all arguing about white and black are basically missing the REAL split. It's education level more than anything.
So if I'm comfortable with getting smashed and getting behind the wheel and going for a drive then its all good then. Me being comfortable is all that matters. That is exactly the same thing as you just said. If your decision only affected you then your statement would be fine.
Ok. I'm closing this sh!T-Show.
Y'all just can't behave and go talk about our natty
