The two most monumental events of the last year in the US were the election of Joe Biden to the presidency and the introduction of Covid-19 vaccines. Yet there are those who falsely believe Biden won only because of fraud or that they shouldn't get a vaccine.
Take a look at the most recent Monmouth University poll, one of the few to ask about both people's vaccine status and how they view the 2020 election result.
Not having received a vaccine was a minority position, at 34%, at the time of the poll in mid-June. Thinking Biden won only because of fraud was a minority position at 32%.
But that third of the electorate for both positions is not the same third.
About 36% of adults who falsely think Biden won only because of fraud have, in fact, received a dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
This means that when you do the math, only about half (51%) of adults had received a vaccine dose and think Biden won the election fair and square. A slightly lower 45% haven't received a vaccine dose or think Biden didn't win fair and square. (An additional 4% have gotten a dose and aren't sure if Biden won legitimately.)
It turns out that we're not just a 50-50 country when it comes to elections -- we're a 50-50 country when it comes to belief in science and truth about this election.
This isn't to say that believing a conspiracy theory about the election and not having gotten a dose of the vaccine aren't correlated. They are. The Monmouth poll showed that 64% of people who falsely think that Biden won because of voter fraud also have not received a vaccine dose.

I don’t see the argument, again. If distrust in public officials stops a bunch of people from getting vaccines and the public official advice is correct, the problem will become self limiting in a Darwinian sort of way.
“...Half don’t believe the truth...”
-
...and the other half do.
But it was OK Hillary said the same thing.
>> CNN scum. /spit
The only reason that depraved operation still breathes is because ATT made sure of it despite the billions in losses.
Both ATT and Comcast heavily invested in the ousting of Trump. I suspect it has something to do with 5G telecom infrastructure, and China has the 5G supply chain.
Yeah what tbey’ve found in arizona and michigan and pa, yeah thats all made up
Your xx, XY science is the science the rat party is trying to destroy. It’s the real science. “Follow the science”. Liberals are nasty people.
I just can not unsee what I have seen.
Yeah, that will never happen.
The absurd denials by people who have no idea of what they are talking about, hardly convinces me of anything, other than a rather obvious coverup. The only question really what will they do when confronted with the obvious?
Yup, they did. It was CNN’s Russian conspiracy.
As if anyone believes you clowns any more, CNN.
The ministry of truth is alive and well.
Knee jerk liberal bias is SO much easier than actually being a journalist and looking at facts and tracking down sources.
How can they say they know the facts when they never examine the evidence?
Socialist propaganda disguised as the Nightly News.
That Plugs actually won and that the virus wasn't deliberately unleashed to facilitate the former ? Yes.
Debunk the media loony left lying liars who lie.
The big truth = Trump won.
The big lie = Plugs the Pedo won.
Simple and easy peasy.
Apparently some people are afraid to cross the Ministry of Truth on two fronts so they have chosen to conform to one “truth” and not another one.
I tried to reconstruct from the data offered what the four positions are out there.
Looks to be about like this ...
20% believe neither “truth” about the election or the vaccines.
40% believe both “truths.”
20% are election truth only and 20% are vaccine truth only.
These may not be exactly the breakdown but it would resemble that, from the data offered.
(by the Ministry of Truth, bear in mind)
Dildo Harding?
You just can’t make this stuff up....
