Nobody is perfect, but Pew’s breakdowns and sample design in this case follow a sound methodology.

Poor premise...don’t need a vaccine. Prove me wrong. If I had a table and a chair and a signs to sit out front add like that guy doesn’t videos. I would do that. I’m so sick and tired of weak minded individuals thinking that we need a vaccine and we all need to wear masks until forth... notice none of the mask mandates include end dates? Do you notice that? I would think that freerepublic people would be above that fray... A Step Above intellectually. Too many on Free Republic don’t recognize the intellectual dishonesty Of all of that. Why don’t you see that?
I'm not trying to convince you - or anyone - of anything with this article or the Pew results, with the possible exception that there are lots of vaxx-skeptical people and there is an equally-passionate pro-vaxx lot who want things to go "their way."
IMHO, the pro-vaxx people really have nothing about which to worry if the serum works. Concerned people will want the vaccine, and the skeptics or those with immunity will avoid it. Over time if COVID19 flares up again and it's a mighty killer then skeptics may slip the script. That's how the free market works. It'll be like chocolat ice cream...if you like it and want it, then you can buy it. If not, then there is always vanilla. Therefore, if a vaccine is discovered, there won't be a need for a marketing campaign.
The odd thing about vaccines is, people who get them are "cured" but they usually fret about the unvaccinated lot. But why? - you're "saved" and these unvaccinated people aren't of any potential harm to you. Yea, yea, I get it...they can infect "the community" but a) one man's negative externality is another man's positive externality, and b) who made the vaccinated group the Lone Ranger of immunodeficiency?
A real fascinating development in this COVID19 saga is the blurring of philosophical lines and the emergence of statist tendencies amongst herertofore liberty-loving people. As you note, some conservatives on FR have given a cheery two-thumbs up to shutdowns, forced masking, etc., in the name of saving the nation from a healthcare system overload. Similarly, I've seen private property lovers swear they won't wear a mask in Wal-Mart.
But the biggest unmasking I've seen, is the reversal of the Dems...30 years ago they (allegedly) were for "the common man" and big business and the right of minorities and gays to be left alone, and finally for free speech. Look at them today....the Dems hate the common man, love big business, and want to force everyone to love what they like, and they detest free speech and thought.
I can see for miles and miles and miles and....
