Really the man who drove the massive drive to get the vaccine out amongst the masses in record time .Do actual figures not say that the vaccine has the lowest uptake in the BAME / Hispanic populations who are traditionally democratic supporters

You can't go by numbers, you need percentages, simply because the population of USA, like so many other countries, does not have an even distribution of ethnicity. The overriding majority of Americans are white.
There is an imbalance of the sexes having the vaccine. Far more females have had the vaccine than males, but political persuasion is not the reason. Any political coincidence is purely that: coincidental.
There is also, like other countries, a disparity with the ages of the population, which again has nothing to do with their political persuasion.

There are other factors that the table does not show: access to vaccines, willingness to provide information, existing data, etc.
Also the data is a year old.

Err, you've proven your own suggestion to be wrong:

As of December 13, 2021, White people accounted for the largest share (63%) of people who are unvaccinated.
From your link.​

But as I've already said political persuasion is purely coincidental.
No data exists to suggest any cross-reference, and definitely not any causality.

and further down
As of December 13, 2021, CDC reported that race/ethnicity was known for 70% of people who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Among this group, nearly two thirds were White (58%), 10% were Black, 19% were Hispanic, 6% were Asian, 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), and <1% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI), while 6% reported multiple or other race.
White people make up a smaller share of people who have received at least one dose (58%) and people who have recently received a vaccination (50%) compared to their share of the total population (61%). The same pattern is observed among Black people, who make up 10% of people who have received at least one dose and 11% of those recently vaccinated, compared to 12% of the population. In contrast, Hispanic people make up a larger share of vaccinated people (19%) and people who recently received a vaccination (23%) compared to their share of the total population (17%). The share of vaccinated people who are Asian is proportionate to their share of the total population (both 6%), while they make up a higher share (9%) of people initiating vaccination in the last 14 days. (Figure 1).

What we dont know is how much those figures have been altered by previous payments and incentives and threats

Vaccination rates are lowest in Trump supporting states.

Trump used the pandemic as a divisive political tool.

WRONG

it’s Trumpidiots that are unjabbed

People in Trump areas three times more likely to die of Covid, says new analysis
‘An unvaccinated person is three times as likely to lean Republican as they are to lean Democrat

Read it carefully and slowly!

Trump is not himself a redneck, truck-driving, gun nut. But he spouts some words to appeal to his supporters.

Many of them are antivaxxers and covid deniers and they have a problem when Trump says things they don't like.

"Before the revolution devours its own, it gives them a chance. “People oftentimes forget, like, how old Trump is,” said an understanding Candace Owens over the weekend. The rightwing broadcaster had just listened to the former US president bang the drum for vaccination against Covid-19 over the quack alternatives.

As mitigation for this heresy, she has asked dismayed Republicans to consider his generation’s ignorance of alternative media and “independent research”. “Like, they came from a time before TV,” Owens said, of The Apprentice megastar. Trump has elicited boos and jeers at his own rallies for, like, praising the vaccines. The even farther-right pundit Alex Jones wonders if it is ignorance or “evil” that lured him off the righteous path."

Gassy has the same problem. He loves Trump and hates vaccines. Watch him squirm as he tries to find excuses.

this is what counts

Currently, the white population makes up the vast majority of the United States' population

There are other incidental factors which haven't been taken into account, like the distribution of the ethnic minorities throughout USA, the average income, access to vaccination centres, registration with medical facilities, even the age ranges within the various ethnicities, etc.

I think paying people plays in to the hands of the anti vaxxers. Eventually the anti-vaxxers will get their antibodies by catching Covid.

I agree, I’m uneasy about bribes for that reason
