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.

Your not left out of the equation. The control freaks want everyone jabbed.
He sure seems to sound confident and seems to have the ‘inside’ scoop on who will be fine and which (as he calls idiots) will not.
So confident in his predictions. 🤔
Forbes - much better than CNN - grin. Have a nice weekend FRiend
You can already see the vaccines working and the virus is behaving predictably.
we are told that they do not prevent us from contracting the virus, or from passing it along to others.
I'm calling BS on that. It's all a big game of BS and I'm not interested in playing that game with this virus. I want the truth and the truth is as I see it, the vaccine does, in fact, reduce the transmission of the virus just like any other vaccine.
The virus will take the path of least resistance. It will adapt to preferentially infect the new susceptible hosts now that the elderly and immunocompromised are largely immune.

I also suspect that there’s a lot of lying in these polls. When I check for vaccine appointment availability online there’s typically plenty of open spots in ghetto areas but more filled up in the burbs. These ghetto dwellers are definitely not Republican.
Perhaps you are from the SW USA, but in the Midwest, most Republicans are vaccine hesitant. Liberals are getting the jab because they love Fauci and Gates
Why? I don’t typically care to speculate on the motives for why someone is ignoring facts and lashing out when they’re presented.

Around here, it’s mostly because they have an honorable commitment to concepts like individual liberty and constitutionalism and a traditional understanding of how things ought to be in this great country of ours. Sometimes you have to maintain a cultus around your core ideas. It may be better to hold the line against small things like transient and interpretable “facts” when the bigger idea is at stake.
I have vaccinated a lot of people who have previously had the virus.....
What are you a nurse, a PA, a pharm tech?
If someone previously had the virus they are immune. That is established science. You must not have a conscious (or any brains) to administer an EUA vaccine to such a person.
Yes, I understand, you were just following orders.
“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”
True, but you are missing out at some incredible virtue signalling.
Because critical thinking conservatives don’t follow the masses into “the showers.”
Exactly. They seem to think that the only way to get immunity Is the Vax, not natural immunity like every other virus.
We will continue to enjoy our freedom and continue the fight against the mask and vaccination Nazis
Then why the variants found in places like India and South Africa where there are hardly any vaccinated people?

More cnn, non-biased, honest to God, truth?.....
Like my dad told me over 40 yrs ago, when describing a man he knew quite well: “He’ll lie, even if the truth sounds better!”
I have a hard time believing it’s only 8% of Democrats. Certain Ethnic groups to 10 devote democrats seem to be one hold out. Plus, a lot of anti-vaxers are democrats.
Yup, cause only the ones who agree with them are “smart” and believe in “science”.
It does sound very familiar....
China planted them there?
Shear number of people infected?
How does that make what I said untrue anyways?
If the vaccinated cannot catch the original strain, all that’s left is for the mutations to travel through the population.
