      Chrissy is fully vaccinated Retweeted Rachel Walden

      Just when @nytimes was starting to do better on their reporting about evangelical Christians, we get another classic, terribly-framed, schmaltzy and overly sympathetic piece about white Christians in middle America. Every single excuse they bring up in this article is politicalhttps://twitter.com/rachel_w/status/1388242406609412105 …

      “People say that politics isn’t the leading driver of their vaccine attitudes.” As someone who lives in this region, I don’t think the politics and the white evangelical identity are separable. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/health/covid-vaccine-hesitancy-white-republican.html …

    2. Chrissy is fully vaccinated‏Verified account @C_Stroop Apr 30

      Conservative Christians like white evangelicals love to claim they’re being “apolitical” when they transparently are not. The rhetorical move is an eminently political power grab—using the appeal of being “above politics” and “not being divisive” to gain moral authority

      Also, how out of touch with middle America do you have to be up write a sentence like “Drug busts for heroin and methamphetamine sustain a humming cottage industry of lawyers and bail bonds services”? 🤦‍♀️ A lot of unscientific bunk is also left unchallenged in this articlepic.twitter.com/wq4PeIGk6q

      In short, this is a terrible model for journalism, @nytimes, and it is high time to retire it. Instead of having your reporters parachute into these places, you could, you know, have the relevant issues covered by people who know the regions and subcultures in question 🤷‍♀️

      But even more important than that, @nytimes, you’ve got to stop taking people’s stated motives for things like resisting the COVID vaccine at face value. And doing that well requires applying a more sophisticated understanding of concepts like politics

      It’s true that the people you cover in this article aren’t refusing the vaccine because they’re Republicans. It’s more the other way around—they’re Republicans because they’re the kind of unsympathetic (yeah, I said it) white people who won’t do their part for public health

      Replying to @C_Stroop

      Basically, libertarianism and conservatism have become profoundly hostile to any public health interventions that require government action (that is, nearly all of them). It's why antivaxxers so quickly made common cause with #COVID19 antimaskers and antilock down cranks.

      The thing is, antivaxxers have always been vehemently opposed to public health interventions, not just vaccines.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/12/02/antivaxxers-anti-public-health/ …
