Around me, vaccination does not seem to be a political issue. I live in a blue county, but the red county next door has an almost identical vaccination rate to my county. People are getting vaccinated...at least, around me. Granted, it seems there is a minority in both parties who are "hesitant." Are there any GOP office holders opposing vaccinations?
Masks do seem to be a political issue. I wore them before during the first wave, but to date, I still do not personally know anyone who has died of Covid. That tends to make me think that perhaps masks should not be required in my area. Perhaps that is not the case with you in your area?
