Now that the first round of the Pfizer vaccine has made its way to all 50 states and the first few Americans have received the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine, the question becomes how many people are willing to take the vaccine? And how many Americans want to see states pass a mandate requiring their residents to take the vaccine?
Back in August, a poll conducted by Yahoo News and NewGov found that 42 percent of Americans say they would get the vaccination. That number was a record low for willingness to get a vaccine, and it could be a problem for the nation. Scientists say at least 60 percent of the population – although 75 to 80 percent would be ideal – need to get the vaccine in order for the vaccine to be effective.
A new poll conducted by ABC News and Ipsos poll found that 39 percent of Americans believe that states should make the Wuhan coronavirus mandatory. Interestingly enough, Americans say they're open to receiving the vaccine at some point, but they're more likely to hold off.
According to the poll, 40 percent will get the vaccine as soon as they're able to. That number rose to 57 percent amongst those who are over the age of 65. On the other hand, 40 percent say they will wait a while to take the vaccine. That number rose to 52 percent among minorities.
The one common thing respondents had in common: they believe health care workers and those on the frontlines should be the first to receive the coronavirus vaccine. Respondents said "health care workers (91%), first responders (87%), the elderly (83%), and people with preexisting conditions (84%) should be high priority."
What's interesting is the respondents were asked when "people like you" should receive the vaccine. Forty-four percent said they were medium priority, while 36 percent said they were low priority.
Overall, less than 15 percent said they would never take the vaccine.
Mail me the vaccine and I’ll mail back saying I took it
I don’t consider this a vaccine. It is more of a genetically modified virus. Probably a better, more accurate description, but a vaccine? No, not in the classic understanding of what a vaccine is.
I’ve got allergies.......worst is to tyranny.
It’s secure enough for voting, should be secure enough for that, right?
Not this American. Never going to happen to me. All this bull sh#t government-run socialized medicine can take a flying leap.
I’ll take care of myself thank you very much and I don’t need some distant bureaucrat somewhere with HHUHA to tell me what to do. I’ll do what I think is best for myself than you very much.
Enough of this government-run political-in -the-name-of -medicine dictatorship B.S.
RE: I don’t consider this a vaccine. It is more of a genetically modified virus.
Aren’t vaccines really some form of modified, weakened viruses?
Ivermectin
Ivermectin has shown strong anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects in numerous controlled and observational studies, reducing covid mortality even in severe cases by up to 90%.
A first meta-analysis showed that ivermectin is highly effective in prophylaxis, early outpatient treatment and even late-phase inpatient treatment of Covid-19.
Based on these results, the US Front-Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) recommends ivermectin for covid-19 prophylaxis and early treatment.
In a study of 33 “long covid” patients, treatment with ivermectin resulted in complete resolution of symptoms in 94% of patients.
What the American people want. Pffttttt. The powers that may be don’t give two craps about what we “want”.
At the speed they went, this is an ongoing test on a broad population. Results from the test will be back in about 18 months, I’d guess. I’ll wait for the guinea pigs to fall over dead, or not.
Not this American.
Screw'em.
I no longer believe anything from the Federal Government or its stooges in the media. Everything I hear from them is either a lie, deceit, or manipulation.
Has Bush, Clinton and Obama taken it yet? Thought they were going to be first in line...
Thank you but no.
Yes, but not this one. Google “mRNA”. Maybe I’d be more comfortable with it if it could definitely be turned “off” somehow with a “switch”. I’d rather my immune system just deal with a weakened or dormant version of the real McCoy as it has with other flu vaccines, polio, measles, typhoid, cholera, etc. This one is different. How do I know these won’t eventually be tweaked to create cancer cells or mess with Telomeres that affect lifespans?
‘...but a vaccine? No, not in the classic understanding of what a vaccine is.’
it certainly isn’t...and thus there’s no guarantee that herd immunity will result from it...
