To be fair, it's not just an issue with white evangelicals.

Just as much hesitation in the black community as well. Unfortunately

Once they go around and there is enough vaccine for everyone they will start to enforce it on the dumbasses fighting it. Either with restrictions with what one can do, travel, work etc.

Hispanic actually has the lions share of covid sickness
Blacks are much more common than whites to get sick but way behind hispanics

Is not getting a vaccine considered white supremacy now?

The article refutes that.

Naw. The GOP is so dependent on the evangelical vote that they will call it "Democrat commie tyranny" and support the anti vaxxers - just like in FL and TX.

No it doesn't. It just states that Black Protestants are more likely than White Protestants to get vaccinated.

Do you feel superior to Evangelicals and Black Americans because they're less likely to get vaccinated?

Do you feel superior to Evangelicals and Black Americans because they're less likely to get vaccinated?

In a March poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 40% of white evangelical Protestants said they likely won’t get vaccinated, compared with 25% of all Americans, 28% of white mainline Protestants and 27% of nonwhite Protestants.

Why would I have any personal feelings at all, aside from concern that these numbers might undermine achieving herd immunity?

I would like society to open up and return to normal by the fall and the more people who refuse the vaccines, the more difficult that's going to be. Sounds like you're having a shitty morning and you're more interested in manufacuring an argument with a random guy on the internet than actually discussing the issues.

Do you feel superior to Evangelicals...?

I feel superior to anyone who is significantly fucked in the head

Think like in Toronto, poverty has a lot to do with covid infections?
