The narrative has been that "Trump supporting" areas and states are the ones seeing a surge because of low vaccination rates.
Yet, states like California, Virginia, New York, and Hawaii are hardly Trump states - they are all in the shade of red category. And, then there is Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and West VA that are doing quite well.

And, as for that narrative that "Trump areas" are the most vaccine hesitant....... I offer a counter example.

Ok, you are getting closer. Now break out that chart/map via voter preferences.

+1000 that divide is much more stark

It is....a good question.

Why has the GOP embraced encoring COVID outbreaks and gone all in on the anti vaccine movement.

1. Russia set them up again and like useful idiots they jumped right on. As early as 2020, cyber security agencies were reporting that the FSB troll farms had pivoted to spread disinformation about vaccines. This ramped up against Pfizer as Russia tried to use vaccines as a wedge in Europe. The Trump supporters just went along for the ride.

2. The original anti vaccine movement which is full of predatory idiots found a home among the alt-right and Q groups. The social engineering tactics for the other conspiracy groups was similar to the anti vax predators and a match was made. They began amplifying across more platforms.

3. FOX news goes all in on anti vax as part of the loyal opposition channel. GOP analysts figure that defeating COVID would be good for Biden, so of course keep COVID going. Biden’s 70% vaccination goal became an important counter goal for GOP operatives to keep as many possible from getting vaccinated as possible. Cheers at CPAC for low vaccination rates in red states.

4. Anti vaccine is the new GOP how low can you go race to get more % points for future primary. On full display at CPAC and within state legislatures.

5. The ball is rolling now. The GOP just seems to keep digging that hole. Now some GOP states are looking to remove measles and polio vaccine requirements for schools. Time to raise infant mortality and go back to the good old days when kids contracted even more lethal and disabling diseases.

Missouri, which has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, has experienced a nearly 70-percent increase in coronavirus cases in the past week.
Vermont, which has the highest vaccination rate in the country, is reporting the fewest new coronavirus cases in the country, with only 33 new cases per week.

It's like certain people don't want to see what is happening right in front of their faces.

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, a vocal critic of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, announced plans Friday to hold a news conference bringing together people who claim to have had adverse reactions to the vaccine, including the wife of a former Green Bay Packer player.

Which liberal national politician pushes the dangers of the vax? There are several high profile Rs who are anti-vax. Which high profile D politician is doing the same?

They are betting that they kill off more voters from the D side - low income people of color & frontline workers - than their own R side. That's the deadly game they are playing.

I think they’re trying to keep the pandemic going with the thought of ruining Democrats’ election chances.

It’s an interesting dynamic. My husband’s cousin who refused to get vaccinated (because ya know, the gubmint wants him to) is moving south from New England to Florida where they can be around more like minded people (and enjoy the sunshine and less taxes to be fair.) We really could end up with diseased states that involve a travel warning about various Health issues and healthy states.

Tennessee’s Dr. Fiscus fired by the political appointee heading the Tennessee Health Department, who now of course wants to run for office herself.
