“But I think the other thing in Tennessee, and I think in a lot of our Southern states that’s happening, is this ideology that if you get this vaccine, you’re somehow placating to the left part of the political spectrum,” said Fiscus. “And so what we’re actually seeing is our most hesitant population in Tennessee is the white, male, rural conservatives, and that they are stating that they’re not going to get the vaccine really out of spite and are willing to put their own lives and the lives of the people that they love at risk because they feel that if they get the vaccine, then they have placated the left or done what the Biden Administration wants them to do.”

I have to say that even if the vaccine was proven to be completely safe, I'd still refuse to take it if the government told me to, I don't care which party was in power.
But what the woman fails to mention is just a few months ago Trump himself told everybody the vaccine was safe and pleaded with people to take it, so that blows her theory out of the water.
