Will You Take The Vaccine?

Poll: Vaccine hesitancy among Fox News viewers down 10 percent since March
A Morning Consult poll published Wednesday found reluctance to the vaccine among Fox News watchers fell to an all-time low this week, with 27 percent of Fox viewers surveyed saying they "probably or definitely won’t get vaccinated." The highest level of vaccine hesitancy among Fox viewers this year came in mid-March, when 37 percent of those respondents said they were unlikely to get a shot.

The poll comes just weeks after top hosts at the network have taken a more vocal stance on their support for and belief in the science behind vaccination, and have urged their viewers to ignore conspiracy theories about the drug.

“Unfortunately — and this is one of the reasons, apparently, that Joe Biden and the administration came out last week — the administration very frustrated. They have not been able to get Facebook to get rid of some of the disinformation. The disinformation is online: The vaccine is killing lots and lots of people or it changes your DNA or there are little microchips. None of that is true," Steve Doocy, a co-host of "Fox and Friends", said.

"Please take COVID seriously, I can't say it enough," longtime prime-time host Sean Hannity said later that night. "Enough people have died. We don't need any more deaths."

"Research like crazy, talk to your doctor, your doctors, medical professionals you trust based on your unique medical history, your current medical condition, and you and your doctor make a very important decision for your own safety. Take it seriously," he said.

Glad you are getting better. That sucks you got hit hard.

I really don't think that this is right at all. If nothing else 'apparently' is the part I would question.


Based on science-like propaganda is my guess. I with you luck getting out of whatever brainwashing cycle you are finding yourself in to understand the attack that is currently being conducted on our society.

I call bullshit on being vaccinated being 'no better' that someone who got sick.

I would point to you already following the anti vaccine propagandist paid narratives like a nice little sheep.

People keep saying this but the reality is we won't know the safety profile of the vaccines for years, since generally that is how long it takes to study vaccine adverse reactions. With the recent study out of Guelph University that claims that the spike protein itself is the toxin (and mRNA replicates it throughout the body, not localized to injection site), there may be long term implications.

So call us dummies all you want. We'll see who is dumb I guess.

Guelph University? Please produce the study. I research the quack.

Apparently? What's the source of that idea?

I believe data shows that full vaccination produces more antibodies than infection and the level of antibodies depends on the severity of infection. In other words, mild infection produces less antibodies and less protection. One shot is recommended for those that have been infected and that produces a very high level of protection, higher than two shots of the Pfizer or Moderna.

I don't think you can know well your body did protecting you if you don't know the amount of virus you were exposed to.

The difference being (as a fornmer educator) that the special-needs folks migh actually learn something useful.

If employers and insurance companies mandate vaccines, the vast majority will comply, probably well over 95% for most places. EUA should be ending in a few weeks and after that rates will go up, after much bitching, whining and complaining.

31% my ass, more like 5%, those who need a job will have little choice if mandated. Most of these dumb fucks want an excuse to get the shot, now that many are getting scared, but too embarrassed to get the shot. This will help most of them get Trump's dick out of their mouth's long enough to swallow their pride and get the jab or unemployed.

31% of Republicans say they are unlikely to ever get the COVID-19 vaccine: poll

• A new poll found that 17% of Americans -- including 31% of Republicans -- say they're unlikely to ever get the COVID vaccine.
• Roughly 6 in 10 Americans say that health agencies have been inconsistent with their messaging.
• Vaccinated Americans are more afraid of catching COVID than unvaccinated Americans, per the poll.

31% of self-identified Republicans say they will likely never get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to newly released polling from Monmouth University. A bare majority of Republicans - 51% - have received at least one dose.

In contrast, 92% of self-identified Democrats have gotten at least one shot, and just 2% say they'll never get the shot. Furthermore, 85% of Democrats said they would support reimposing social distancing guidelines in their states.

Altogether, 17% of Americans say they're unlikely to get the shot, while another 11% say they want to "see how it goes" or will get it as soon as possible.

The polling underscores a deep partisan divide in Americans' willingness to get vaccinated and an ongoing challenge for public health officials amid a surge in the Delta variant, a highly contagious version spreading rapidly among the US's vast unvaccinated population.

At the same time, public health officials face credibility issues: 59% of all Americans say that federal health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been giving mixed messages about the risks of the virus.

And just because people are getting vaccinated doesn't mean they're less worried; Monmouth found that 57% of all Americans who have received one dose are worried about catching a new variant of the virus, while just 47% of people who remain on the fence are worried about variants. Unsurprisingly, just 16% of those who are vehemently opposed to getting vaccinated worried about catching a new variant.

52% of the public supported reimposing social distancing measures and 65% of Americans were worried about another surge of the virus if not enough people got vaccinated. The poll surveyed 804 adults in the US from July 21 to 26, before the CDC announced new indoor masking recommendations for fully vaccinated people on July 27; the poll has a 3.5 percentage-point margin of error.

The poll suggests that the public will likely support new precautionary measures as state and local governments across the country reimpose indoor mask mandates and advisories.

CDC: Unvaccinated more than twice as likely to get COVID-19 reinfection
The research determined that unvaccinated Kentucky residents who had a confirmed coronavirus infection last year had a “significantly higher likelihood of reinfection” than those considered fully vaccinated. The study concluded that the unvaccinated were 2.34 times more likely to contract COVID-19 again.

The CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) counters the argument that people previously infected with the coronavirus don’t need the vaccine because natural immunity offers enough protection.

The agency has already recommended that people previously infected with COVID-19 get vaccinated for more protection.

The study involved 246 Kentucky residents who were reinfected in May and June this year after having a confirmed 2020 case. They were compared to 492 controls who had a 2020 infection but were not reinfected.

“These findings suggest that among persons with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, full vaccination provides additional protection against reinfection,” the report reads. “To reduce their risk of infection, all eligible persons should be offered vaccination, even if they have been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.”

Letters to the Editor: A social psychologist explains why vaccine mandates are essential

To the editor: Consider the cognitive dissonance of anti-vaccine holdouts. ("Separate restaurants for vaccinated and not? It may come to that," column, July 31)

They have spent months marshaling their views, with the support of their friends and chosen conspiracy websites. They consider themselves to be smart and competent and their fears of the vaccine justified. Most of their friends support them.

How likely are they, then, to suddenly change their minds and say, "Gee, guess I was wrong and foolish not to get vaccinated"? Not very.

But a mandate would allow them to get the shot and save face: "I'm angry, but what could I do? I need this job." And dissonance theory also predicts that, once they do, their attitudes will change to align with their action: "I always knew vaccines were life-savers."

Alabama crowd cheers state's low vaccination rate during Marjorie Taylor Greene event
Recently surfaced video from a July political fundraiser in Alabama featuring Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) showed attendees cheering when the GOP lawmaker pointed out that the state had one of the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates in the country.

The video, shared on Twitter by progressive political commentator and radio show host David Pakman, showed Greene speaking from a podium at the July 23 fundraiser, which the Alabama Political Reporter noted was held by the Alabama Federation of Republican Women.

The footage from the Dothan, Ala., event, which was closed to the media, started with Greene saying, “You lucky people here in Alabama might get a knock on your door because I hear Alabama might be one of the most unvaccinated states in the nation.”

The remark prompted a wave of laughs and cheers from some in the audience as Greene continued, “Well, Joe Biden wants to come talk to you guys.”

“Well, what they don’t know is in the South, we all love our Second Amendment rights, and we’re not really big on strangers showing up on our front door, are we,” she asked the audience, prompting another round of cheers.

“They might not like the welcome they get,” she added.
