| NYC's vaccination rates absolutely indicate that there's a lot more than right-wingery at work. 54% is the all-ages number. My area of Brooklyn (Flatbush) is blue as blue can be and yet to crack 50%. There are areas further south and east that are 10–20% below the city number. It's not just the red patches on the electoral map, it's a lot of districts where the Republican Party doesn't even bother putting up candidates. |

| I think we are getting away from the point. Those neighborhoods, for better or worse, are not (Broadway) theatre-going neighborhoods. In the prime theatre-going areas of the city (and beyond), vax rates are up in the 70-80-90% range. Poor people, sadly, are less likely to get vaccinated, and even less likely to see a Broadway show, even for free. And of course the city has its pockets of redness, whether resulting from the orthodox jews or the staten islanders etc. | |

| Perhaps not compared to your rich white Manhattanites, but when I'm coming home from shows I always see people holding Playbills (theatre, Met, Carnegie Hall) going further south than I am. | |

| I don't doubt that for a second, but the fact is, the low vax rate zipcodes are also the low ticket buying zipcodes and I'd be willing to bet half the value of a Broadway sippy cup that those hands you saw clutching playbills now have an abundance of covid antibodies lurking within. I thought your point was that, in the city at least, low vax rate does not only correlate to republican districts and I of course agree with that. It's not really controversial, though, that poor minority communities don't go to the theatre, and neither do super-orthodox jewish ones. | |

| So what’s your theory or theories as to why that’s true. There’s quite a bit written about an overall distrust of the vaccine within minority communities. It’s one of the reasons that the government is putting a lot of effort into recruiting minority clergy. It’s very sad because those communities are often at the highest risk. | |
