The only parts out of what I quoted that were not opinion were the first
two sentences.

Yes it does.  Otherwise, white republicans would have always been the
leading demographic, if the "white republicans" conclusion was the correct
one.

As whites still make up the majority of the country, most of them not
wearing masks would likely be white.  The only people who kept wearing them
in my office (besides me and one other person -- both white) were not black
or white.  They were Indian and usually female.

Yes, but both groups got sick, and not only unvaxed die.

They are large enough to cause a difference, especially the J&J vax.

Basically you picked an article that came to a conclusion that you liked.
Other stuff that might involve science, like continued effectiveness or
what one's doctor might tell them, doesn't make a difference.  Not very
critical thinking of you.  Also, you will claim that posting it
doesn't mean you were trying to politicize COVID or the conclusions the
article came to.

Uh-huh, only in Jeffland is that the case.
