Repeat after me.
Correlation does not equal causation.
Public perception and optics matter.
We have Fauci the Fraud lying his ass off, acting like some sort of medical god who thinks he can determine when people can go about what's left of their lives, and still keeping his job despite everything.
We have any mention of side-effects or possible side-effects to the vaccines being burying by the media and treated as irrelevant or taboo to speak about by parts of the population, even here.
We have vaccines that were rushed into production and through testing for frankly political reasons (even if I did support Trump I can recognize that fact), along with testing out a new mRNA method that is effectively low-grade genetic engineering, not a normal dead-virus vaccine.
This is not a 'normal vaccine' situation by any stretch of the imagination.
People's faith and trust in public institutions, the medical 'experts' who control our nations medical institutions, and the very act of being able to trust the ballot box, has been massive eroded in the last few years.
