How vaccination status might predict views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine New poll indicates that “vaccine refusers are much more sympathetic to Russia.”
Unvaccinated Canadians are about 12 times more likely than those who received three doses to believe Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was justified, according to a new survey by national polling firm EKOS.
The poll found 26 per cent of those who identified as unvaccinated agreed the Russian invasion is justified, with another 35 per cent not offering an opinion. This compared to only two per cent of surveyed Canadians who said they had three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and who supported the attack, and four per cent who offered no view.
EKOS president Frank Graves said vaccination status strongly predicts views on the war, from seizing the property of Russian oligarchs to providing non-military aid to Ukraine. In each case, a vast majority of vaccinated Canadians agreed with measures to help Ukraine and oppose Russia, a view held by only a small minority of unvaccinated people.
SKIP ADVERTISEMENT SKIP ADVERTISEMENT Torstar was granted access to results of the EKOS data that show a correlation between vaccination status and attitudes toward a host of political issues, including the war in Ukraine.
The EKOS survey — conducted from March 9 to March 13 and using a random sample of 1,035 Canadians — concludes that a “plurality of vaccine refusers are much more sympathetic to Russia.” The survey has a reported margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Ten per cent of those surveyed, or about 105 people, identified as being unvaccinated. National vaccination statistics show around 11 per cent of Canadians five and up have not received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Of those Canadians who received three doses of COVID-19 vaccine, the study found 82 per cent agreed with imposing tougher sanctions on Russia even if it meant higher fuel and food prices at home. Only 18 per cent of unvaccinated people concurred.
Eighty-five per cent of vaccinated people agree the country should take in Ukrainian refugees versus 30 per cent of unvaccinated Canadians.
While 88 per cent of vaccinated Canadians agree Russia is committing war crimes during the widely condemned invasion, 32 per cent of unvaccinated people do.

The is the “Bee”, right? LOL.
Measure of intellectual curiosity.
LOL! So, now if one is unvaxxed (NOT genetically modified) they are a pootski supporter and think Ukraine is getting what it deserves? Justine trueDOH strikes again. The stoopid, it hurts!
It’s simple: Unvaccinated people are critical thinkers who see through the big lies government and main stream media.
See? Smart people are vaccinated..../s
I can see it. If you were skeptical about vaccine you’re anti vaccine. If you’re skeptical about the sanctity of Mr Zelenskyy you’re pro Putin.
Anti vaccine=pro putin
I was stridently anti vax, anti mandate, and am strongly pro Ukrainian people. IT IS FREEDOM VS TYRANNY.
You are mentally disturbed if you think you are PRO FREEDOM and then pick a KGB thug war criminal because other tyrants are against him.
And you are a moron aligning yourself with Soros, Schwab, Biden, the MSM and the people who want you to eat insects. Neither side is good here, but you scream at people like a damned liberal with your capital letters.
YAP, YAP, YAP, (PLEASE NOTE CAPITAL LETTERS IN USE).
The brainless endless yapping of a contrary 6 year children.
“Soros said to be kind to your mother so I beat her to death with a baseball bat.”
There are more than 2 choices here. I can want nothing to do with either of these two corrupt countries without supporting Putin at all. It is isn’t just a binary choice where you totally support the corrupt Ukraine government, or you totally support Putin. I say both of them deserve the hellholes they create for each other.
I said the Ukrainian people. You said the the corrupt Ukraine government. If I support you in your fight to be free, does that mean I am some gung ho supporter of the Biden administration?

How Covid vaccination status might predict Critical Thinking and In Depth Research Skills.
Sorry Mr Pollster (Liberal Party hack) but I came to my own conclusions about both things and they don’t support your narrative. I am a vaccine skeptic and a Soros-globalist-NWO opponent and a war opponent. Putin over-reached. You can logically believe all three things. And I do, so send the thought police around here (from both sides) and beat the crap out of me because I am a danger to the security of the state (and maybe the blogrussosphere) using my brain as I see fit.
The first poll they had was about attitudes towards NATO countries intervening in the war, and it only showed a relatively small difference, where 10% of the unvaccinated and 30% of the fully vaccinated supported total invasion. I guess that wasn’t good enough to ostracize the unvaccinated so they went to this more ambiguous question. I mean, why would you even ask this question if not to create social division? What the hell difference does it make, is NATO calling up the unvaccinated to make their plans now? I never got a call.
Yes
Not our problem. Should we go everywhere that people are being killed? All while our country collapses from within?
If only…..
Thank you
But you are not a critical thinker if you still can’t see the propaganda being spewed by Western news sources about Ukraine.
