If the @PressSec and the Biden Admin think conservatives are their major hurdle with the vaccine, they they have a real problem. We found a clear disparity between black, Hispanic and other minorities vs. whites, and they are more suspicious of it.
Point being, the percentage of whites who told us they are a hard No on getting the vaccine basically mirrors the national average. Other minority groups saying they are not getting it exceeded the average and won’t be reached by PSA spots during NASCAR, @PressSec.
Here are Covid-19 vaccinations by race:

"I have no plans to get vaccinated": 24.6%
"I intend to get vaccinated": 32.1%
"I have already been vaccinated": 43.3%

@PressSec @jrpsaki, can you reach Black/AA, American Indian/Alaska Native, Indian/Other Asian groups via Nascar PSAs?
Now, it's true that more conservatives told us they are a "Hard No" on getting vaccinated than other ideologies. But the Biden Administration is (unsurprisingly) really oversimplifying this.

Perhaps they're blaming white conservatives for not convincing or reaching minorities?
Further, more than 6 in 10 voters who say they're not getting vaccinated for Covid-19 are below the age of 45.

Combined with race, if you target this from an angle presupposing the "problem" are @NASCAR conservatives, then your ignorance will hand you an even bigger problem.
THREAD: This tweet should be in this thread. It's Covid-19 vaccination status by age, which may not mirror the media narrative.
But I'd be doing a disservice if I didn't note the overall number is probably the most important regarding future pandemic panic policy.

You cannot reach their version of immunity with 25% of the population refusing to be vaccinated. It's either total compliance or forever fear.

This argument has one very serious hurdle to get over: history.

Prior to the Harrison Act in 1914, Americans used to be able to purchase laudanum OTC. Bayer offered diacetylmorphine (heroin) OTC.

Continued...
Drug bans initially stemmed from addiction concerns, which boomed after the invention of the hypodermic needle.

But it wasn’t about race. The addicted were Civil War veterans.

Later, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930 certainly used questionable tactics, but...
... in 1906 the Pure Food and Drug Act required labels to state specific drugs such as opioids, cocaine, etc.

The first Opium Commissioner Hamilton Wright very specifically cast America as a drug consuming leader world-wide, and he wasn’t on a crusade against any race.

Media are pushing the hell out of shootings to help Democrats pass gun control. Well, not all shootings. Only the shootings that help their political cause.

Inner city gun violence to include young men gunned down in autonomous zones dedicated to George Floyd, are off limits.
"No motive at this time" means it doesn't fit the media narrative. When you've been around this long, you learn to speak the language.
Exactly.

Truth be told, the literature on the impact of covering mass shootings is very clear. So clear, in fact, a thinking person can't help but to wonder what media motives really are.

This is a ridiculous take from someone still willing to carry water after the most embarrassing 24 hours this so-called superpower has experienced in a very long time.

The Chinese publicly called us weak to our faces, something they wouldn’t dare do under the last president.
Contrary to this total propaganda from @mitchellreports, the Chinese are not bold now because they got used to a disengaged America under Trump.

They’re bold because they were on bender knee under Trump, and now they have someone who not only won’t take a stand, but can’t stand.
Absolutely delusional to blame yesterday’s humiliating disaster on Donald Trump.

China abused and belittled the @JoeBiden Administration because they can, and know they can.

Because they know his tough response will be a lecture to Americans about using “China” before “Virus”.

1) This is not a “Covid relief” bill. Less than 10% is related to Covid.

It’s a kickback to Biden/Democratic financial supporters.

Less than 5% appropriated for schools *can* be spent in FY21, forget about whether it will.

Trump already funded states to safely reopen schools.
2) Meanwhile, fed employees with distance learning children will get weekly what you will get in total “stimulus”.

That’s essentially an immoral bribe for mostly leftwing parents to further fail their own children.

All for a couple thousand.

We’re disgusting.
In a gross public union kickback, and bribe to betray their kids, fed workers with children in distance learning can get $1400 WEEKLY for as many as 15 weeks.

The rest of American parents struggling to pay the bills and keep their children from falling out, will get jack $#!t.

Remote learning is a disaster for ALL children, not just "Black and brown". The the focus on certain races over others 1) reveals a major defect in how white urban liberals think, and 2) because of that defect, became the story and distracted from the actual issue.

Sad-@$$ $#!t.
Also, this sentence and claim in Brooks' article is false.

"This was unclear last March and April, but now study after study has shown that schools can be safe."

Transmission of Covid-19 is not at all novel vs. other SARS-like viruses.

It was clear.

Truth be told, @nytdavidbrooks and others who are now doing a U-Turn on school closures succumbed to panic and groupthink last spring. They allowed their judgement and reason, as well as ideology and political preferences, to cloud their reason.

Speaking of reason...

1. Well, this is the most honest take I've heard in a long time out of anyone from the media.

He has gotten stronger, his ideas have gotten stronger. But it's easier to mistake because some of them have gotten quieter, and traditional pollsters will never ID them.

...
2. There was always synergy between the rightwing and leftwing populist movements, and the clever albeit dishonest use of racially charged politics by leftwingers like Warren and Sanders have obfuscated that.

But they're going to lose credibility showing what frauds they were.
3. Where will they go during what is becoming more evident by the day, a corporatist authoritarian administration?

Not the Democratic Party. Hell, not even the traditional Republican Party.

So, yes, Trump's base absolutely can get much stronger, and already is more diverse.
