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.

Everyone knows that ophthamologists are experts on vaccine matters. Every MD has complete understanding of every field of medicine.

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.


In other words, you’re saying the more likely a person is to vote Democrat, the more likely he is to get the vaccine.

O, rly?

Because YOU said so, BB? Where is the “janitor and receptionist” poll, for comparison?

Quite the uppity claims....to go along with your bogus “96% surveyed” article,

Those most in the know say ‘No Sale’ to your nonsense comment.

🙃

Or quite possibly a few less anti-vaccine holdouts, who find out the hard way.

We'll have to move to the mountains like Jeremiah Johnson to get away from you mutant walking dead Morlocks.

“By your post, which I guess I misinterpreted.”

It’s OK, FRiend, my humor is often too subtle or just not funny. I am fine with people making their own personal choice either way about vaccination. I had a nice conversation recently with a liberal friend (vaccinated) who feels the same way.

Rock on.

Interesting. Ophthalmologists are able to ‘see’ the wisdom in holding off on taking non-traditionally vetted vaccines - particularly if one is under 70 years old and healthy.

Yep. Highly educated does not mean highly intelligent. Nor does highly exercised or highly popular.

He normally doesn’t base his promotional content on anything. Notice his caveat that janitors and receptionists ‘can’ get low numbers?

I was thinking that the janitors and receptionists are not as thoroughly indoctrinated as those who have saturated themselves in academia for years to earn credentials.

Ah, colleges and universities - those bastions of group think.

I can believe those who are less likely to have spent time in 4 year indoctrination camps are less likely to fall for the ‘vax’. Just one more often observed way many of America’s unappreciated workers often exceed the academic ‘elites’ in common sense and wisdom.

Apparently they did this unscientific Poll to try and make Anti (experimental) Vaxer Dr. Rand Paul look bad.

Where were all of these altruistic people needed as guinea pigs for all of the other vaccines that have saved lives for the last 60 years? Could have save a lot of testing time.

Pick me! Pick me!

They’re retiring because they’re fed up with this vaccine drive which they don’t believe in, and they refuse to play along with the globalist agenda because they’re actual real Americans?

A few decades back when I used to hang with Texas ranchers they would put it like this:

“THAT boy had one too many years of college.”
