Whites are more vaccinated, percent wise, therefore "Vaccine rejection is higher among whites than it is among black and Hispanic Americans".
How do you go from one to the other here?
How do you go from one to the other here?
The vaccine rejection rate here is the percentage of people who say they won't get the vaccine. That has little to do with how many people have been vaccinated up to this point, which is a function of access and distributed among people who _haven't_ stated categorically they won't get it.
It can both be true that white people are more likely to say they won't ever get the vaccine than black and hispanic people AND that a higher percentage of white people have received vaccine shots SO FAR.
Here, imagine you can divide a box into four quadrants:
A | B
--+--
C | D
One is measuring A/(A+B), the other is measuring A/(A+C).
