That's a poll.

If you use actual vaccination data, there are other patterns[0]:

White: 52%

Black: 43%

Hispanic: 48%

Asian: 68%

When you view all things through a political lens, you'll miss important details.

My response is the same as to your sibling comment, what are you trying to say here?

This doesn't disprove my initial point. Remember that Black people and Hispanics only make up roughly 30% of the population. They can be vaccinated at much lower rates than whites and still by only a minority of the overall unvaccinated population. Looking at all these numbers together, who someone voted for in the last presidential election is a much stronger indicator of their vaccination status than their race.

You can't just drop percentages without saying what they are. Those are not vaccination rates. Those are proportion of vaccination percentage to case percentage. What exactly are you trying to argue here?

From the table:

"Percent of Total Population that has Received a COVID-19 Vaccine Dose by Race/Ethnicity, Selected States, September 7, 2021"
