They could be, but this is supposedly non-partisan (I doubt that the Mayo Clinic would allow itself to be drawn into a partisan squabble). This coloring scheme suggests red (stop) to green (go) You can draw whatever conclusions you want about political orientation and inoculation. Formal education? New Mexico is the least-well-educated state that is in no way Southern, but it seems to do well. Better than Utah, which may show cultural difference between Mexican-American Catholics and white Mormons.
Come on, Latter-Day Saints (Mormons0! You can do better than that! If you can get people to give up alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and carbonated beverages, then you can get people inoculated. Threaten excommunication or at least a ban on church attendance if one does not get inoculated.
It likely relates to the "low-information voters" for whom Donald Trump expressed so much affection.
If you want to determine whether a demographic statistic is good or bad, then just look to which side of the spectrum Mississippi. Vermont seems to do best at getting people inoculated, and Mississippi worst.
Even one inoculation (aside from the Johnson and Johnson formulation, which gives full immunity with one does) gives one some safety.
In view of the potential for mutations of COVID-19 I might feel much safer going on a fall-colors tour of New England than going to the Deep South in the winter. We do not know what those mutations can do, and the worst thing possible is that one of those mutations might morph into something that can circumvent the inoculations already in place. Should that happen, then we are far from over.
So here's what I have to say about people eligible for inoculation who have yet to get it... get your arm to the needle as quickly as possible. The fewer human vectors remain for COVID-19, the safer we will all be, and the more certain that we can be that we will not be obliged to go through the same mess again, complete with analogous levels of mass death.
People are still contracting COVID-19, and it remains as lethal as ever.
