Well, it's layered.
On the surface, you have the obvious: these kids are afraid of COVID, and they have a reason to be. Their governor is more interested in fawning over his Republican base than doing the right thing, so not only…

Social media is a poor substitute for human interaction, and they're losing a lot of that.

Multiple reports of COVID patients in the ICU begging for the vaccines they had previously refused to take. It’s a preventative, not a cure. Asking for a vaccine when you’re already sick is like ending up in the E.R. after a car crash & asking the doctor for a seatbelt.
