Arkansas governor says it's 'disappointing' vaccinations have become 'political'
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) lamented that it was "disappointing" that politics played a role in whether or not people decided to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
During an interview with Greta Van Susteren on her show "Full Court Press" set to air on Sunday, Hutchinson said that Arkansas's political leaning might explain the state's lower vaccination rate.
"Why is our vaccination rate lower? We're a very rural state. We have a lot of resistance. It's a conservative state. Sometimes conservatives are hesitant about the government, and we've just got to counteract that by getting better information to them, building confidence," Hutchinson said during the interview.
