There are outlying data points, Biden counties with low vaccination rates, and Trump counties with high vaccination rates, but the trend is extremely strong. Note Sumter Co Florida which stands out as a Trump county but a high vaccine success rate, 68% for both measurements.

The grafts are flaunted IMO, Blue counties are more metropolitan areas where vaccine readily available. Red counties are more rural and further away from access to vaccine, neither are close to the target. IMO why so called red counties are at lower vaccinated rate, little or no easy access. IMO It makes getting shots a lot harder. Poor rural American totally different country when compared to metropolitan areas when everything ease access.
