74. Here it is

Data (% > 18 yr old) from census bureau July 2019.

Plotted vaccination rates by %pop > 18, by governor's party.

So for DEM governors, there is a strong trend of vaccination rate vs % pop > 18. This is what you were getting at, and the relationship is pretty strong.

GOP states is another story.

Utah has a much higher than expected vaccination rate (Utah is the left most point on the graph)

Those three best GOP states on the top right are Maryland, Massachutses and New Hampshire. Those governors have pretty high populations of democrats, and I know the Maryland governor in particular did not follow the GOP playbook for covid.

So what we see is a cap in vaccination rates in GOP states that is not driven by age distribution, but most likely by politics of the population.

I'll be headed back to my tablet because of the heat we're having (my laptop generates too much heat). Tablet is not a good tool for anything but simple browsing.
