Unvaccinated white evangelicals appear immune to pro-vaccine messaging (All others cave to the media)
Medical XPress / Yale University / Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ^ | Nov. 30, 2021 | Scott E. Bokemper et al

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.

Please refer to post 32 on this thread. That is the post I was answering. Someone speculated that antivaxxers are being surreptitiously injected with covid to make a point.

12 years of Catholic School (four JROTC) back in the 1980’s. Unvaxxed, 51, just got COVID and just came off COVID isolation order by the County Health Dept last night at midnight.

Better aligned with evangelicals than this Pope, that’s for certain.

“tithing was for the Jews”

No foolin?

Have you been to a denominational Christian Church in the last 50 years?

Who hasn’t probably stepped into a church in 50 years and hasn’t heard or even participated in the “offering.”

Funny how quite a few denominations really impress upon their congregations to make an offering or as they call it. Those churches really want 10%, have foundational classes that stress it, teach the history, and give a small dissertation before each “collection” is taken up.

You can call it what you want, a collection, an offering, a tithe. It’s the same.

Marcus Lamb, an evangelist and founder of the Daystar Network, a charismatic oriented TV network, died today from a combined of pneumonia and COVID. He and his network had been strong opponents of the COVID vaccines. His network had anti-vaccine advocates like Drs. Tenpenny, Emanuel, Zelenko, etc., as guests

Wow! That’s really heartbreaking. Thank you for the heads up.

Perhaps the death of Marcus Lamb will result in lives being saved by those followers of his now getting vaccinated. He has influenced millions.

I would not put anything past the left.

They have already shown, more than once, their willingness to sacrifice human lives for their agenda.

Exactly.

I’m not getting vaxxed because I don’t fear the virus.

We have trust and faith in God’s word. That is what makes us less likely to be afraid of the things of this world.

Gods peace is something evil cannot comprehend.

I got both Moderna shots in January and February, got Covid in August. Quarantined per instructions from County Health. Big surprise was when I asked if I needed to be retested upon end of quarantine before going back to volunteer work at local hospital. Was told it was not necessary. SMH.

Most free thinking Christians believe that The Almighty will not bless the murder of a 7 month little Danish girl no matter what the result of said murder is . It is part of the Doctrine of Common Sense . “ The Fruit of the Womb is the Lords Reward “ !

We are going to have a white Christmas. Ok a white only Christmas only in 2025. Lol. Just a stupid narrative. I know many people who are neither white or evangelical Christian that do NOT want the vax.

"He and his Network were militantly against the vaccine. Didn’t work out so well for him now did it."

Nor has it worked out well for some fully-vaccinated mockers of the unvaccinated. It must be awful to be a smug creep like you.
