Vaccine Nation 0

Bob Molinaro, sportswriter extraordinaire:

Though the percentage of Alabama residents who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 is among the very lowest in the nation, the University of Alabama, as well as Auburn, will be allowing capacity football crowds. This convergence of recalcitrance and fanaticism is dumbfounding.

New York University’s Social Justice Lab tries to understand the right’s hostility to the COVID-19 vaccine and, more generally, its hostility to science.

They point out that there’s nothing new about it:

The 1964 Goldwater presidential campaign, for example, was saturated with anti-intellectualism, criticism of leading U.S. universities, and antiscientific sentiment. This trend has continued, more or less unabated, for over 50 years.

Elsewhere, Will Bunch explores the divide; you may find his conclusions germane:

Indeed, as the issue of getting a COVID-19 shot gets increasingly politicized, Huntsinger (Jeff Huntsinger, a social psychologist at Loyola University Chicago–ed.) noted, refusal begins to be wrapped in the strong power of what experts call “negative partisanship” — voters forming opinions largely in opposition to the political party that they don’t like … or hate.

I commend both articles to your attention.
