It's not just Trump-supporters who are resisting the COVID vaccine: "Vaccine Hesitancy" is NOT purely a Trumpster phenomenon.
American Thinker ^ | 07/19/2021 | Jack Hellner

Posted on 07/19/2021 8:18:16 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

On May 21, federal health officials testified before Congress that only 60% of their employees had received the COVID vaccine.

Federal health officials testified at a Senate committee hearing that about 60% of their employees have been vaccinated against COVID-19 so far

There are three COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. that have all received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. More than 279 million vaccine doses had been administered in the U.S. and 60.5% of adults had received at least one shot as of May 21.

That was almost exactly the same vaccination rate as that of the public at large.  My question, why is the public continually misled that the people not getting the vaccine are just Trump-supporters?

Why hadn't 40% of federal health workers received the shot by May 21, since I am sure it had been available to them for about six months?

Neither public health officials nor the press is asking those questions.  But if I had to guess, it would come down to trust.

Why should the public trust public health officials and social media outlets to be the deciders of what is true and not true about the virus since they intentionally blocked anyone who blamed the origin of the disease on the Wuhan Lab and essentially called it a false conspiracy theory?

The blocking of that information for one year was extremely damaging to any investigation.

Why should we trust social media outlets on anything since they allow Joe Biden and others to continually lie by claiming that voter integrity laws are like Jim Crow laws?

Those lies are meant to gin up racial hate and division, so why aren't the liars and the posts blocked?

The White House is really laying the propaganda on thick. If you don’t submit you’re ‘killing people’. Everything is an ‘emergency’ to get you to comply. Now we’ve got a newer more deadly variant coming that they will use as another boot to grind our faces with.

Trump’s been pushing it since Summer of last year. He’s still pushing it. I seriously doubt people who haven’t gotten it yet are hesitating because of him. And me personally, I’m not hesitating at all. I’m just flat out not getting it. That hasn’t changed and it won’t.

Delta variant is more communicable, but less deadly.

If 60% have already achieved herd immunity and 70% are vaccinated, WHY do they continue to push these injections?

It’s crazy.

What we want is herd immunity. Now we have a variant which is more communicable, but less deadly. That’s a good thing. The government is trying to make us panic because something good happened.

RE: Delta variant is more communicable, but less deadly.

Do you have a good scientific source for this? Thanks.

Here is the typical Democrat: Don’t take the Trump vaccine. Today: You have to take the Biden vaccine.

Blacks are hesitant because they think it might be another Tuskegee experiment. I don’t blame them for distrusting the Union Government...I don’t either.

Common sense?

161 million Americans have been vaccinated......how is that still experimental?

99.5% of all Covid deaths are from the unvaccinated...... What does common sense say about that fact?

You can get your Covid antibodies the easy way and get vaccinated. Or, you can get them the hard way.....if you survive the ventilator.

Sooner or later everyone is going to join this “experiment”.

Like anything covid, you can find two opposite truths out there.

Also, now that a bunch of people are jabbed and there are reports of the jab killing people, how do we discern between Delta deaths and jab deaths?

you do realize the survival rate for covid is 99.8%, right? what are the long term side effects to the vaccine, that isn’t really a vaccine? Also, what about my body, my choice?

If you don’t submit you’re ‘killing people’.

The rhetoric is ratcheting up. It is starting to sound like Rwanda. Thank God for the second amendment.

The survival rate is 98.2%. Numbskulls who repeat the 99.8% stat don’t know how to calculate a percentage, and the misinformation spreads like the plague.

https://austingwalters.com/delta-variant-less-dangerous-than-flu/

Link above has lots of UK data.

Only other thing I see is leftist MSM claiming it’s more dangerous with their reasoning is that since it’s more contagious, it will more readily make it’s way to vulnerable people.

Of course if it is less deadly, then it’s a matter of how much less deadly compared with how much more contagious.

60% less deadly and 20% more contagious is fine.

20% less deadly and 60% more contagious could be a problem.

Then again, if we’re starting with the original 99.7% survivability, then what’s the survivability with it being 20%(or whatever) less deadly? 99.9997% ??
