With a majority of adult Americans now at least partially vaccinated against coronavirus, roughly a quarter of adults say they will not try to get the shot, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS. That vaccine-hesitant 26% is much more willing to return to regular activity, far less confident in the government health officials overseeing vaccine rollouts, and opposed to vaccine requirements for everyday activities.
Overall, the poll seems to point to a country on the road to normalcy, with about 7 in 10 having gotten a vaccine or planning to do so and two-thirds comfortable returning to their regular routines. But there are sharp divisions by vaccine willingness over the role vaccines might play in a return to pre-pandemic life.
In the poll, 55% of adults say they have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, while 45% have not -- which matches with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's statistics on vaccine distribution. Those who have not yet received a dose at this point are more likely to say that they will not try to get one than that they will seek it out. All told, 26% of adults say they will not try to get a coronavirus vaccine, about the same as those who said so in March, while 16% say they haven't yet gotten one but will do so.
Republicans remain the group most likely to say that they will not try to get a vaccine. Almost half of Republicans, 44%, feel that way, compared with 28% of independents and 8% of Democrats. Within Republicans, resistance to vaccines is concentrated among the young.

Patch Tuesday comin'!! Third dose!!
Good to see majority of Republicans are not retarded death cult dumbasses.
That’s good right? 75% will get vaccinated which is 5% more than is needed for herd immunity according to Fauci last summer and 25% more than needed for herd immunity according to Fauci last winter.
On the other hand it’s 15% less than Fauci said was needed for herd immunity last fall while saying we wouldn’t have a vaccine til 2022.
I’m sorry… what was the question again?
As more and more people get vaccinated, the virus will be forced to evolve to preferentially infect those populations that are unvaccinated e.g. young people and idiots. I would bet money on that. I would guess that it will become more contagious by gaining a stronger affinity for the ACE2 receptor and, by doing this, it will become more deadly. It can’t become too deadly of course so it will find a happy medium between contagiousness and lethality. Sorry about the idiot thing. I’m just kidding about that. But not about young people.
The polls never indicate the percentage of non-responders, so I have to take the number with a huge amount of salt.
TOTALLY takes your focus off the long nose...
I have a four year degree. I’m just under 40. I won’t get the vaccine. Let me explain.
My family and I all had covid. We all did quite well with beating the disease. For us, it really wasn’t a big deal.
So, we’re immune. At least for this year. The vaccine that’s still under EUA won’t make us any more immune. Perhaps next year, if I’m not exposed again naturally, and the vaccine is fully approved, and we feel it’s best for our family, we may get it.
Those of us with natural immunity are often left out of the equation when it comes to who will or won’t get the vaccine. It’s not a simple answer in most cases.
I am very curious about this 55% haven’t gotten the vaccine, when you see it individual state levels, such as Nevada, where it’s about 25%

Blue Screen of Death takes on a new meaning.
Make that 45% who refuses a non approved shot from aborted baby cell lines that could kill me, paralyze, me, get COVID anyway, or die from it in the future.
That is marketing only.
In other news, Fauchnocchio pushes to have your HIPAA icon changed from "My Body" to "This Body".
>> Sorry about the idiot thing. I’m just kidding about that.
Your point unfortunately got lost in that mess.
Yeah, I got pretty good marks in biology in high school and college.
No fauxccine for me!
Yep, even when they talk herd immunity they seem to leave out all the people who had it and recovered. They act like only vaccinations count towards immunity, which is of course ludicrous.
I think you make sense and also doctors are telling some patients to not get the vaccine.
