Also, nearly 100% of new COVID deaths are of Republicans and Fox News watchers. Their 180 turn is just self-preservation.
Great read on that here:

Vaccination rates are lowest wherever Donald Trump romped to victory last November. In Tennessee, where he won 61% of the vote, 43% have had a first dose. In Ohio, a more divided state with a pragmatic governor in Mike DeWine, it is a slightly more hopeful 48%. But in the most conservative Ohioan counties, the rate plummets. In Holmes County where the former president won 83% of the vote, 15% of people have had a first dose. The chances of succumbing to the virus in such places is correspondingly high; 99% of America’s recent covid-19 fatalities had not been vaccinated."
"Fox News’s biggest star [Tucker Carlson] calls a Biden administration effort to step up local vaccination campaigns “the greatest scandal in my lifetime."
"This extreme politicisation has encouraged vaccine-hesitant Republicans to dig in. To be conservative is now to a great degree to be against covid-19 vaccination.”
