Part of the issue is that it's not just the MAGAs

I see several distinct groups among the non-vaxxed:

- MAGAs: Idiots. They're turning down the vaccine to own the libs.
- Anti-vaxxers: Also idiots. Mostly white and somewhat crunchy, believe that vaccines of many different stripes are toxic and that natural/homeopathic remedies are preferable.
- Distrusting Black people (and some Latinos): Distrustful of government and vaccines, but because of more legitimate reasons. (Some individual white people also fall into this bucket.) This group might be the most persuadable, in large part because it's about a lack of information in some cases rather than strongly held beliefs.
- Young people: Dumb and invincible. They believe they don't need the vaccine, so they don't get it. Some of them have some good points.
- People who have had COVID: Have natural immunity, so they don't think they need the vaccine.
