White evangelical Christians have resisted getting vaccinated against COVID-19 at higher rates than other religious groups in the United States. A new study by Yale researchers provides evidence that persuading these vaccine holdouts to get their shots has only gotten more difficult.
"At this point, unvaccinated white evangelicals seem resistant to messaging aimed at persuading them of the benefits of being vaccinated against COVID-19," said Gregory A. Huber, the Forst Family Professor of Political Science in Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and a co-author of the study. "It's not clear whether this is because resistance to vaccination among white evangelicals has increased over time or that the current holdouts were always the least persuadable. What is clear is that messaging that was effective last fall, before vaccines were approved, now seems ineffective."
The initial survey, fielded on a nationally representative sample of 855 white evangelicals, gauged how various messages affected white evangelicals' intentions to get vaccinated, their willingness to advise a friend to get the shots, and their judgments of people who refuse the vaccine. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of seven conditions: A placebo message unrelated to COVID-19, a baseline message about vaccine efficacy, or five treatment messages that added specific content to that baseline.
…Neither survey showed that values-based messaging was successful at persuading white evangelicals to get vaccinated, contrasting with prior research that has found that values-consistent messaging increased positive attitudes towards masking among members of the same group.
"This study highlights the importance of testing and re-testing messages as the people requiring persuasion changes over time," said Scott E. Bokemper.

So you put the world first eh?
‘And most of the sheeple will swallow the great lie when the same evangelicals suddenly disappear!”
Gave me my smile for the day. “Come quickly, Lord Jesus.”
Maybe because gates and company have been broadcasting their depopulation plans for decades?
The use of fetal cells lines is my number one reason. Demons are behind these vaxxes
See you in the clouds!
““This study highlights the importance of testing and re-testing messages as the people requiring persuasion changes over time”
Translated ... the givernment’s proxies and fanatics will attempt to wear down any non-vaxxed person by testing and re-testing, continuing to harass them at every testing opportunity and these ad nauseaum “information sessions” will be supported by creeping loss of freedom (no restauraants without proof of vax, etc).
tithing was for the Jews.
Yes—I really, really want to travel a lot internationally during my 50s. It’s what I’ve been saving up for and what I love to do. I’ve only done a little but of travel before 2020. Therefore—I needed the vax.
Conspiracy on top of conspiracy. Doctors and other health professionals are secretly infecting people to make their point. Believability prize of the year.
critical thinking skills from home schooling?
“He and his network had been strong opponents of the COVID vaccines.”
And in related news, Dan Bongino, fully vaccinated, told of his painful bout with covid last week and says he took ivermectin, hydroxycholoquine, and monoclonal antibodies and was over it in 36 hours.
Maybe White evangelicals aren’t prone to putting up with peer pressure bull squeeze.

So now we are 30% to 40% evangelical as a nation? When FR took a survey of freepers long ago, only 18% said they were here because they were evangelicals. I guess the preaching and good example are working!
The fetal tissues are used in the research and development, not in the doses of vaccine. So, if a person is vacinated, they are not receiving something containing fetal tissue.
Added for clarification as to how the tissue is used.
Almost all deaths can be assigned to Covid.
Deaths with “vaccine” OTOH….
Now that you know what the vaccines are about will you continue to get them? That is the test!
