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.

1. Note: Not every eye doctor belongs to American Academy of Ophthalmology

2. “Of the 8,000 members surveyed, 871 completed the online questionnaire.” (i.e. 10.9% of the membership responded.)

3. “A Survey shows?

4. “The Academy is calling on its members to continue to build confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and encourage people to get vaccinated, including their staff. “

5. (BS!) “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.”

6. Did Academy CEO David W. Parke II get paid to spread Propaganda?

(Thank you for posting this my friend, I know you are as weary as I am listing to this.)

I almost passed out the other day when I read that.
I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with Cuomo on anything before.

Wonder if independent docs are as willing to lie to their patients...

Well, thanks Deep State. For showing us that there’s a Big Med. And it’s about as trustworthy as Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Biz, Big Gov’t...

I bet Senator (Dr.) Rand Paul did not complete the survey and I know he is not taking the vaccine, he has already had the Covid and recovered.

Electronic Medical Records.

A lot of independent docs and practices couldn’t afford to comply.

They had three choices: try to go it alone and hope to survive, be eaten by a health system, retire.

Most took the last two.

Aside from war, TSA, DHS, don’t forget we got Obama because of him.
I submit W as the worst President ever.
At least Obama gave us Trump...

Yep. I’m not saying that I’ll never get vaccinated, but I sure intend to wait a few years to see the results of this vast medical experiment. I can always get vaccinated later, but I don’t know of any way to get vaccination undone.

Thanks.

This is the same thing they are doing in the livestock industry to drive them out of business.

They are being forced to digitally track every animal from birth to slaughterhouse.

“As data and science-driven individuals”

NO THEY ARE NOT!!! If they truly were, they would come to the proper conclusion that since there IS NO LONG TERM DATA, no conclusions can be drawn as to the long term safety and effectiveness. And since 98 percent of these new vaccines FAIL to get approved due to issues arising in the long term trials, SCIENCE AND DATA driven individuals DO NOT TAKE SOMETHING EARLY WHEN the APPROVAL RATES ARE SO LOW. That is a BRAINLESS DRIVEN individual.

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.

This is not how polling works... and if you are a scientist and think a self selection sample of online questionnaire respondents who are already an unevenly selected subset of a population is an accurate way of doing a study, you are a propogandist, not a scientist.

A quick googling says that there are about 20,000 opthalmologists in the US. This group surveyed 8,000, and 870 responded. That's a 3% affirmative response, not a statistically sound 96% with 5% confidence rate.

Professional societies usually represent a younger and more academic-leaning demographic of any profession because they target recent grads and host conferences and journals that a lot of established industry people don't have time or interest in participating in, and online polls are only useful as a means of measuring marketing interest, not producing a random sample of a population. A dollar says this whole article was drummed up for the media to trot in front of Senator Paul as a whip to make him look like a kook in a gotcha interview or attack ad.

Maybe 10 percent of the 8000 who received the questionnaire actually bothered to fill it out.

How many people have been verified and the CDC and media have admitted to that have died due to the JNJ, Pfizer or Moderna vaccine? 0, I think. That is statistically impossible.

……

Those who are most likely to get the vaccine are also the most likely to virtue signal.

Nothing new, or meaningful.

I am really impressed by these data driven high education types.

They are so smart they have figured out the long term effects of these vaccines despite only a year of testing.

It’s already been said, but this is aa ridiculous “survey,” and the conclusion ia ridiculous. It is not random. It is thoroughly skewed toward 1) people who respond to surveys; 2) people who want to signal their virtue; 3) people who know there is no penalty for their answer; 4) etc. It is trash.

Great post—2021 is the year when we find out that scientists really do believe in miracles.

The higher up the education ladder you climb among "Health Care Workers", the greater the rate of vaccination.

Polls that include the janitors and receptionists can get lower numbers, even approaching the population average. But those most in the know have voted with their feet, and gotten vaccinated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Too many who 'voted with their feet' can't stay on their feet after getting 'vaccinated.'

They now regret that they were lied to and manipulated as grisly reports of adverse events, including still births, endless seizures, massive blood clots and other casualties of the biowarfare 'vaccines', slip past the censors.

Those 'voters' are reading that within 48 hours the toxic spike proteins spread into liver, spleen, and other organs with the highest concentrations in the bone marrow and ovaries.

From trialsitenews.com via data from an FOIA request made by Byram Bridle (data from Japan)

So mRNA is instructing cells in the ovaries to produce spike proteins. This, after trolls and their handlers sneered that only idiots think the 'vaccine' mRNA ever leaves the arm muscle into which it was injected.

Could this account for the 82% miscarriage rate in first 20 weeks (10% is the normal rate).

These casualties of biowarfare are just the tip of the iceberg. I encourage everyone to save the content at the following link. You may want to choose 'print' and then switch to the PDF option. This option will leave all the links 'live' in the resulting PDF.

Should you get vaccinated? (trialsitenews.com)

Haha. Still clownin' it up, eh Bobo?

Another way of putting it is, the more a 'medical professional' has to lose, the more likely he is NOT to buck.

The lower down, the more likely to have common sense and a sense of rebellion and autonomy. They have, in effect, more freedom to act. Or in this case, not to act. This too, is science. Human science.

And, ophthalmologists know about as much about vaccines as a, oh I don't know...a Gas doctor.

Or you.

And that is a very small number.
