By now we've all seen statistics that show that many old male trumpers reject vaccination against covid-19, even though tRump himself was vaccinated before slinking out of the White House. There are lessons to be learned from this.
The world of science and of good diction is occupied by mostly rational people, both liberals and genuine conservatives (hard to find). What passes for a conservative in America is often a shoeless member of a lynch mob.
I write "good diction" because rational people understand what the word "fact" means. They can use it correctly.
Humans can believe anything. They can believe that God created light and after that created the Sun. They can believe that loser Bobby Lee was our greatest general. They can believe that the pandemic is a myth and 500,000 Americans have not died from the coronavirus so far
What people believe may be shaped by a given culture, but the ability to deny reality is active in every human being.
Opposing vaccination can cost some old fart his life. And in the name of what cause is this sacrifice made? Trumpers--mostly white men--weaken themselves as a voting bloc when they die for no good reason.
