With 50+ % republicans not wanting vaccines that means 40+% do. While

Abbott and like minded governors undo the mask mandate, more than 75% of the people in their states take the virus seriously if you include Democrats and independants. Biden was right to get 100 million more doses this week and reach herd immunity before the variants get out if hand. 75% of people in those states will know who cares. They know who doesn't.

contrast than this week: one governor threatening cities to undo mask order; one doing everything and more so he can to get people vaccinated and therefore fewer deaths. Like every person counts. And then Sen. Scott of Florida counsels red states to not accept some large part of Recovery Plan money. They have a garden of callousness in voters to tend to obviously.

When it’s GA, then that mindset will be pretty much locked in.

Most of them have already been trying to be first in line so they can lie to their buddies at the backyard BBQ once the spouse stops keeping them from having guys over.
Especially with the new single-shot vaccine out. No one will ever need to know.

Only hard core anti-vaxxers will refuse. Everyone else will take the shot.
