For the first time in its history, in 2020, deaths outnumbered births in the state of Alabama. A majority of residents in the state still consider the Covid epidemic a hoax and it still has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country. Despite the lyrics to Lynyrd Skynyrd song, it is hardly Sweet Home Alabama these days. Racism, misogyny, and now antivaxx sentiment will continue to define one of the most backward states in the union.
