An Interesting Map

It's been quite a while since I've mentioned the NYT Covid page, but wander on over there anyway. The second section offers four maps; go to "Vaccinations". Somethings are odd about it.

First, as one might expect, Blue States have higher vaccination rates. Intelligent folks, them. Red States, are umm... Red. As you might expect.

Second, there are a couple of, perhaps, unexpected bluish places. Parts of Arizona and New Mexico are. Geezer havens, one might conclude; most imports from Blue States. Far North Minnesota is bluish, as well?

The glaring anomaly? Maverick Cty., TX, the only Blue spot in the state. One might wonder why. The wiki tells all:

In 1972, Maverick County was one of the only counties in Texas where George McGovern received a majority of the vote. The last Republican to carry the county was Herbert Hoover in 1928.

A lonely island of Blue in a sea of idiocy.
