Nearly half of Texas Republican voters say they do not plan to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, according to new polling released Thursday by Quinnipiac University.
All told, pollsters found, about one-third of Texas adults said they do not plan to get vaccinated, whereas about 70 percent said they have already received or are planning to get inoculated.
Pollsters found sharp differences in views on vaccines among political parties, with about 30 percent of independents saying theyll forego vaccines and 13 percent of Democrats saying the same.
Texas counties that are more rural and were likely to have voted for former President Donald Trump have generally lagged more urban counties, such as Harris County, when it comes to vaccine rates.

I saw the fake cowboys all wrapped in white linen
Wrapped up in white linen, as cold as the clay
