Vaccine latest via new Fox News poll:
Biden voters:
86% already vaccinated
3% don't plan to get vaccinated
Trump voters:
54% already vaccinated
32% don't plan to get vaccinated
Hmmmm....most unvaccinated people are people of color, of which ~90% voted for Biden. Something doesn't compute.
You're lying. Most unvaccinated people are white. It might be true that proportionally, a greater percentage of black people are unvaccinated, but the difference is that most of that population is unsure of whether to get vaccinated instead of being straight-up anti vax for political reasons. It might be that much of the 13% gap in the Biden number is black people who don't know if they will get the vaccine.
Regardless, are you really going to deny that anti COVID vaccine sentiment is more likely to come from Republicans?
While White adults account for the largest share (57%) of
unvaccinated adults, Black and Hispanic people remain less likely than their White counterparts to have received a vaccine, leaving them at increased risk, particularly as the variant spreads.
Of that 57%...I wonder how many are between the ages of 18 - 40 (low risk)? To me it is personal choice. I had the virus, I have helped save the lives of 50+ people through the American Red Cross with my plasma. My parents are vaccinated. I do not like vaccine shaming. It is crazy to me, especially since the COVID vaccines are not yet FDA approved. It has become political. Why? The CDC does not differentiate between those who had the virus and those who never had it. Which is sad and causes distrust.
