(CNN) By the time Christopher Morrison's patients want the vaccine, it's too late. "Most of the patients I see are regretful that they didn't get vaccinated," said Morrison, who himself caught Covid but didn't even know until he was tested as his symptoms were so mild because of the vaccine. Republicans long used to political leaders and right-wing leaders downplaying the virus and criticizing the government, are far less likely to get vaccinated. Never mind that her sparsely populated state ranks worse in Covid deaths than many others with big virus-spreading cities. "After all President Trump and his supporters take credit for developing the vaccine ... Why the heck won't they take advantage of the vaccine that they received plaudits for having developed it?"
