There seems to be a considerable overlap between the two sets of nasty right-wing thugs and anti-vaxxer morons...

You wonder if there are any anti-vaxxers involved?

All I meant was that weird right-wing groups are often anti-vaxxers and vice-versa...

The actual nazis were anti-vaxxers in the beginning. Claimed vaccination was part of "Jewish Medicine". All that changed when they prepared for war. The military made clear that having unvaccinated armies was a very bad idea.

It's all up to people that hate fake president Biden now:

Republican politicians sabotage vaccination efforts by spreading doubt about the efficacy of vaccines and opposing vaccination mandates and whatever they can think of to throw the spanner in the works? At the same time they themselves are vaccinated, but most of them keep that a secret. Why is this so?

This explanation makes sense:

Some folks think following 'the science' means following their political interpretation of the science.
Science is used for political purposes. In the case of the current pandemic it is abused by Republican politicians.

They sabotage vaccination efforts by spreading doubt about the efficacy of vaccines, opposing vaccination mandates and do whatever they can think of to throw the spanner in the works. At the same time they themselves are vaccinated, but most of them keep that a secret.

Why?

New Zealand records another 41 Covid cases as it braces for biggest outbreak of pandemic
Cluster has grown to 148 people, with experts saying it could grow to 1,000 and take four to six weeks to stamp out

New Zealand is bracing for its biggest coronavirus outbreak yet as cases rise, the locations of interest balloon to more than 400 sites, and the number of close contacts swells to more than 15,700 people.

On Tuesday, the country recorded 41 new positive cases, bringing the total number in its outbreak to 148 – the majority of whom are Samoan, and linked to a sub-cluster who assembled at the Assembly of God church in Mangere, Auckland before the lockdown.

A nationwide, level 4 lockdown – the highest setting – has been extended until at least the end of the week, as the country battles to contain the outbreak of the Delta variant.
Why is such a tiny country not fully vaccinated?
