Donald Trump really wanted to get credit for the vaccines that hit the country in the year following the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the strongest supporters of the former president are those who have so far avoided getting shot.
As a result, the states where Trump got the most votes are the states that have the most difficulty with the Delta variant. During an appearance on PBS, Dr. Michelle Fiscus explained that many do this to “own the libraries.”
The doctor, who was fired by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, began: “But I think the other thing in Tennessee, and I think in a lot of our southern states, is this ideology that if you get this vaccine you kind of appease the left end of the political spectrum. Our most hesitant population in Tennessee is white, male, and rural conservatives. “
Fiscus continued: “ They feel that if they get the shot, they’ve appeased the left or done what the Biden administration wants them to do. “
The state of Tennessee is currently experiencing a terrible push from the Delta variant. Governor Bill Lee doesn’t seem to care at all, however. Asked about mitigation efforts, Lee told reporters, “ I don’t think that’s the role of government. The role of government is to make it available and encourage people to get vaccinated. “
