Earlier this week, NPR published an analysis of vaccination rates across the country, titled “There’s A Stark Red-Blue Divide When It Comes To States’ Vaccination Rates.” However, like so many other examples of political insights rooted in “the science,” the data was carefully curated to achieve the desired result: Trump bad, Biden good.
Domenico Montanaro wrote that “surveys have shown Trump supporters are the least likely to say they have been vaccinated or plan to be,” and that “The top 22 states (including D.C.) with the highest adult vaccination rates all went to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.” Meanwhile, “Some of the least vaccinated states are the most pro-Trump.”
