In Show of COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence, 96% of America's Ophthalmologists Already Vaccinated
Business Insider ^ | June 16, 2021 | PRNewswire

Posted on 06/16/2021 2:32:02 PM PDT by BeauBo

A survey of U.S. members of the American Academy of Ophthalmology shows that more than 96 percent are fully vaccinated...

"As data and science-driven individuals, it's not especially surprising that nearly all ophthalmologists are vaccinated," said David W. Parke II, MD, Academy CEO. "The data is clear, the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. It's also clear that getting as many Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible is the path out of this crisis. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of disease transmission and the emergence of new coronavirus variants."

Of the 8,000 members surveyed, 871 completed the online questionnaire. The survey was conducted from May 14 through June 8 and has a confidence level of 95 percent +/- 3 percent.

Yes, and the CEO in question obviously is too.

I’ve not seen a link about it, but many many are being paid to created this insanity. The purpose? To totally collapse the system so the Globalist Totalitarian vermin can have total control.

Yes sir. Not an impressive figure at all. If the ophthalmologists were so confident in the vaccine there would have been a greater survey response and thus greater approval reflected as a result.

Ophthalmologists would have no economic incentive to vaccinate now would they? ..

Another flawed study.   Did they factor for age of respondents?   Younger Doctors didn't care so they only received replies from the old faats who skewed the results.

If you think cataracts are in your future, you might want to get the optical implants now.

Point me to the alleged 4% that didn’t take the Vaxxx. They have shown themselves to be smart and cautious. My kinda Doc.

mRNA vaccines have been in the works for decades.

Why was none of them ever approved, other than for experimental use?
**************************************************************************************
Animal trials were insufficiently successful, so they could not proceed to human trials. mRNA was not ready for Prime Time.

871 respondents x 0.95 / 8,000 surveyed x 100 = 10.3 percent of those surveyed responded that they had be vaccinated.

I can see they aren’t actually very data driven.

Lots of educated people did very evil things in some very advanced countries in the 20th Century...Germany being a major one. Doctors were the prime movers and shakers of the Nazi apparatus.

NOT saying this is the same scenario! Great! Be vaccinated. But it’s wrong to mandate it especially for young people.

Apparently ophthalmologists suck at math.

When I was fostering a newborn, I took him in for a checkup when he was about 3 mos old. The mother did not want the baby vaccinated. So, when the nurse queried me about vaccinating the baby, I said no. She started arguing with me. We went round and round. I said “No, the mom doesn’t want the baby vaccinated.” Her final statement to me was, “You don’t have to tell the mother.” My mouth dropped. She finally left the room.

The only reason I can figure out is $$$$.
