Most of them voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

Alabama and Mississippi—two of the poorest states in the country—rank dead last in percent of fully vaccinated residents, at 24.1% and 24.3%, respectively.
The next states with the lowest totals are Utah (25%), Tennessee (25.5%) and Georgia (25.7%), followed by Arkansas (26.4%) and Louisiana (26.9%).
Is it trumpism at fault here or are there other factors? I read that the public health provision in Alabama has been run down for years and that it is woefully underfunded.
Is it an education issue ? None of these places is known as progressive and educated.
Why arent these people getting the jab ?
really? these states have some of the best schools in the nation…Ole Miss, UGA, Vanderbilt…
poverty is certainly an issue, and that’s because for 100 plus years they were run by dems…only in the last 20 once the Voting Rights Act has been able to do it’s good in ending suppression have we seen a GOP, imprint…centuries of leftist policies can be fixed over night…but we have seen some developments…jobs are coming manufactures are moving into Arkansas, Tenn, etc
as far as vaccination rate, that’s likely more linked to rates of people getting sick, these states didn’t have the numbers that cali and ny and mishandled dem strongholds had. Less of an impact means less of a desire to go get the shot
