Americans who do not plan to get the latest COVID-19 vaccine mostly cite protection from prior infection and safety concerns as their primary reasons for not getting the shot, new survey data finds.
A Gallup survey conducted from late November to early December found that the majority of U.S. adults – 51% – don’t plan on getting the updated shot. So far, 29% of respondents reported rolling up their sleeves for the vaccine, but an additional 20% said they plan to get the shot in the future. That means that close to half of Americans could get the latest shot, if the numbers hold true in the real world.
Still, it's significantly less than the percentage of adults – 63% – who plan to get or already had the flu shot.
“Greater rates of flu vaccination may reflect that that procedure is more of an established routine for Americans than getting annual COVID-19 shots,” Gallup Senior Editor Jeffrey Jones said in a post.
Of those who don’t plan to get the latest COVID-19 vaccine, 27% reported that their main reason for not getting the shot was having a prior coronavirus infection and believing they have antibodies.
The second most common reason was concern over safety of the vaccine. While the COVID-19 vaccines have repeatedly proven to be safe, vaccine hesitancy fueled by the coronavirus pandemic remains a significant public health issue.
There is a continued discrepancy between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine. The survey found that 48% of respondents who said they have gotten the new shot identified as Democrats compared to 10% who said they were Republicans.
Most Americans perceive the COVID-19 situation as getting better, according to the survey. The rate is not quite as high as it was in May, but that could reflect elevated hospitalizations this fall and a new COVID-19 variant that is spreading.
“Americans seem to be heeding public health officials’ recommendation to get annual flu shots to a greater degree than they are complying with their advice to get the latest COVID-19 vaccine,” Jones said. “This may reflect lessened worry about the COVID-19 situation as it pertains to them personally and to the country more broadly.”
Public health officials have said that the COVID-19 vaccination rate is too low heading into the holidays when travel and indoor gatherings are likely to spread the virus.
remember when the talking heads in the fake news media were so perplexed by the fact that Trump voters weren't getting the vaccine, in spite of Trump telling them to get the vaccine...
i think certain people are put into certain places, to take the fall, or to mis-lead the sheep.
example: GWB didn't have anything to do with 9/11 planning, but everyones blames GWB for wars, etc that were also pre-planned. GWB being a republican was helpful because the patriot-minded votes would support GWB, and the fickle left would blame and hate GWB, and Republicans in general.
later, when BHO was POTUS, the anti-war left became silent, and the right had already supported the wars because GWB was a Republican...
they thought having Trump in office telling us to get vaccines, would result in us (the right) getting vaccines.
but that didn't happen to the extent they wanted it to,
and when they installed Joe Biden, all of the sudden the left was more eager to take vaccines, and Republicans in general were less likely to take vaccines.
they wanted to vaccinate the right. but they vaccinated the left instead.
Yes. Although a lot of people on the right had jobs (or were in colleges or whatnot) that mandated the jab and many of those people chose to get "vaccinated" to keep their jobs or finish their degrees or whatever.
A HELL of a lot more people got jabbed than would have without the social, employment, school, military, and other coercion involved (and may those involved in the coercion rot in Hell) -- and still, the Cabal fell far short of its goal of 100% compliance.
The lies seem to come so easily
Maybe because it kills them?
I am finding it to be:
"I got it and it does not work"
"Seems like the people who are vaxxed, get sick more often"
If the majority started to believe that it causes heart issues, strokes, and "turbo cancer", I would think there would be panic in the streets. But then again, sheep do have a purpose in this world, usually wool and raw muttin...
My husband just got a phone call that most of the people at work in his shop are sick with covid.
I said to him how do they know what they have do they run out and take tests?
Yes they do and I told him that can be nothing more than a cold or flu.
Why do the people feel the need to have to go out and take a test?
no test, no covid, right?
Yes.
When will they stop with this??
One of the normies I know went out to get both cv and flu vaxxes, were told they'd have to pay and left in a huff. So in that case it was cost.
They have already killed off the gullible ones.
The left leaning Twitter space is full of tweets about people falling sick continuously and even dying, how doctors and government agencies are gaslighting them about the cause, which they know to be the Covid virus, a biosafety level 3 pathogen that more than likely was created in a lab.
In other words, these saps are no longer buying the narrative, but are instead spouting conspiracy theories. The only truth they are missing is how the jab is the thing that ties it all together. Rather they are now calling for stronger and tighter lockdown, because nothing else works!
Hurts to say it, but both groups (us and them) are almost in the same place.
And the mass murder continues
So sad
