Current Events > Only 47% of AMERICANS will get the VACCINE as Conservatives are SCARING THEM!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

A Shocking new poll shows more than HALF of Americans say they want to either DELAY or REFUSE to get the COVID-19 vaccine as they are awaiting more information!!

Only 41% of those surveyed said they are eager to get it as it comes when scientists are warning that new variants of the virus means that nations will need to vaccinate 85% of their population to achieve herd immunity!!

President Biden has set the target of giving 100 million Americans their first dose by April but many are waiting and seeing further results as only 7% said they would only get it if they were forced to while 13% said they will definitely not receive it

Only a small increase in confidence from December when 63% said they would delay or refuse the approved doses as it rosen from 34 to 41 but the majority of people are Republicans as well as Black and Hispanic people and lower income and rural households who are skeptical

2/3 of Democrats said they either already been vaccinated or want the shots as soon as possible but drops to 32% among Republicans with 33% saying they are waiting and seeing and 25% refuse

This shows a tough road for Joe Biden who has to get bipartisan appeal to Republicans especially on the national vaccination campaign as 43% of Black people and 37% of Hispanics are holding off until they know more

The conservative anti-vaxx/mask movement has been gaining momentum and is scaring off the public with sensationalized news articles of people suffering allergic reactions or DEATHS from europe after getting vaccinated.

Governments are fighting against skeptics who are telling the public that the new vaccine, which is new technology, may cause serious long term side effects as it seems to be effective among some groups with misinformation

Skepticism in the United States is among the highest in all countries as only 47% say they will get the vaccine compared to 73% in the UK, 69% in India, 68 in Mexico, 70 in Denmark and 64 in Australia

Are you one of those waiting?

Ive heard people got the vaccine and weeks later tested positive, this true?

---

I voted for already vaccinated because I just had it

---

I'm more nervous that it won't be effective thanks to all these new variants.

Yeah, it can happen. It takes a few weeks to fully set in on top of not being 100%.

But it's apparently 100% at keeping people out of a body bag, so even if you do get it, it just sucks instead of really sucks

Americans: "we want the pandemic to go away"

"ok so just don't gather around people and it'll stop spreading"

Americans: "no"

"alright then just wear a mask if you're around people"

Americans: "no"

"alright then we'll make a vaccine just get that when it comes out"

Americans: "no"

i mean come on lol

It does not make you 100 percent immune so yes that has happened. Ninty percent immunity still means you have a ten percent chance to catch it.

people seem to think you get inmunity right away but they been saying it takes around 30 40 days
because of this they stop keeping social distance and wearing masks right after they get the vaccine .....................

the vaccine can't make you test positive. if you get an antibody test then that may show that you have antibodies (which is the goal of vaccination), but the vaccines can take two weeks after the second dose to have their full effect so there's a chance you can catch Covid before you've built up full immunity

Thanks

I could be wrong here but even if you're fully vaccinated there's still a chance of you getting it. It's 95% effective, not 100%

Of course it happens in a small number of cases.

1. You can get exposed before your Resitance/immunity sets in. Incubation period can be up to 2 weeks or longer in rare cases.
2. You may have a weaker or suppressed immune system due to age, disease, medication or diet.
3. You can still get ill with vaccines sometimes but usually when you do its less severe. Vaccines are effective but not perfect.
4. Some mutations may be less protected from by vaccines though for now it seems its still more effective then not on known mutations.
5. A small portion of vaccines likely had errors resulting in them useless or less effective such as a freezer that wasnt as cold as it was supposed to be rendering the vaccine inert or a dosing error.

As someone who has a lot of uncommon allergies I will not be getting it. The fallout if I am allergic to something is just too great.

Given the choice I'll take one of the traditional tech based ones (not the new mRNA stuff), as I see them as less risky. But if it comes down to "mRNA vaccine or nothing", I'll still take it - again, it's "given the choice between two". I'll certianly gladly take one either way.

And I say this as someone who has had bad reactions to vaccines in the past. Short-term discomfort sounds a lot better than long covid, and even more so, a lot better than knowing I've been passing a deadly disease around. (inb4 "but the vaccine doesn't stop you spreading it" - it might, they just don't have proof either way yet)

Nah, like anything, its not just conservatives. Its never just this group or that group. But it wouldnt surprise me if a majority of the anti-vax are conservative to some degree.

Regardless, I hope we all get the vaccine when its available. I mean most of us arent old enough to be prioritized and maybe a handful of people from CE are on the frontlines.
