‘It Didn’t Really Stick With Me’: Understanding the Rural Shrug Over Covid and Vaccines

‘It Didn’t Really Stick With Me’: Understanding the Rural Shrug Over Covid and Vaccines

 

At 70, Linda Findley has long been active in her small town of Fort Scott, Kansas, which sits more than an hour away from any major city. Findley, whose husband died in an accident just after the local hospital closed, helps with the Elks and fundraising, and — like many people in this part of the country — doesn’t think covid-19 is that dangerous. “I don’t even know what I think about it,” Findley said recently. “I don’t know if I trust the testing because it’s so messed up or … I’ve had nieces and nephews, that’ve had it. I’ve lost good friends to it, or supposedly it’s to that.” (KHN, NPR)
