>The 14 percent of Americans who are firmly opposed to getting the vaccine are overwhelmingly non-Hispanic white adults,
Followed by a chart showing a 65% white, 13% hispanic, 13% black breakdown for the vaccine hesitant.
Given the actual racial breakdown of the states is something like 60%, 18%, 13% etc., does it really make sense to call the vaccine hesitant "overwhelmingly white"? Reads to me like an article which tells people exactly what they want to hear.

There appears to only be a very slight racial bias among the “definitely not” crowd. As opposed, for example, to the party affiliation skew which looks quite pronounced.
