There are still many people - especially in the US - who are concerned about (or adamantly opposed to) receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. While this is often framed as a conservative-vs-liberal issue within the US, that doesn't line up with the data. Vaccination rates seem to correlate more strongly with a group's trust in the government. Conservatives do tend to have less trust in the government than liberals, but the difference is even more pronounced when comparing affluent groups to historically marginalized groups - regardless of political leanings.

Trust is hard to earn and easy to spend. But it is an invaluable resource for a government to have. Hopefully we learn that some day.
