Quite a bit of vaccine drama is not political but either mistrust of the system or alternate beliefs. Here is an anecdote - My family has a bunch of anti-vaxers who have not had a single dose of COVID vaccine yet and claim they have never gotten COVID. These are highly educated (masters in engineering) and hard left leaning (Bernie/AOC supporters.) They also mostly reject modern medicine and believe in Homeopathy. So much so that their toddler had a pretty bad fall that almost cut his tongue in half but they refused to take the kid to emergency room and treated him with some homeopathy chart of medicines they keep in their home. Their family doctor convinced their elderly mom to get the vaccine and now the mom claims to have gotten nut allergy from the vaccine. Their mom is pretty left leaning too.
