Most Americans who haven’t been vaccinated against COVID-19 say they are unlikely to get the shots and doubt they would work against the aggressive delta variant despite evidence they do, according to a new poll that underscores the challenges facing public health officials amid soaring infections in some states.
Among American adults who have not yet received a vaccine, 35% say they probably will not, and 45% say they definitely will not, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Just 3% say they definitely will get the shots, though another 16% say they probably will.
What's more, 64% of unvaccinated Americans have little to no confidence the shots are effective against variants — including the delta variant that officials say is responsible for 83% of new cases in the U.S. — despite evidence that they offer strong protection. In contrast, 86% of those who have already been vaccinated have at least some confidence that the vaccines will work.
That means “that there will be more preventable cases, more preventable hospitalizations and more preventable deaths,” said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins University.
“We always knew some proportion of the population would be difficult to persuade no matter what the data showed, (and) a lot of people are beyond persuasion,” Adalja said. He echoed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky in calling the current surge “a pandemic of the unvaccinated” because nearly all hospital admissions and deaths have been among those who weren't immunized.

It's not about availability.
But the do-gooders will try to find a way to compel everyone to get the shot.
Because they have a mental illness.
How else can you explain why the vaxxed insist the unvaxxed get the shot? What is it to them?
Yes, I'm vaxxed. J&J in May.
And here we thought liberals were pro-choice on health matters.
Apparently they are anti-choice on the vaccine. They want to require the vaccine, even though it is still officially legally considered an emergency use vaccine.
Please God, save us from the do-gooders.
Eventually they'll push so hard they get shot.
Because they’re racis’ haters who want your grandma to die. And your grandkids too. Us? We’re in the “pay the price” column.
The other 14% are dead from the vaccine.
I simply can not get over the fact thata there has got to be an ulterior motive, or some other reason they are so damned insistent that everyone get this vac. It doesnt make sense, and since they lie all the time, and I think Fauchi is a damned fraud, I dont see any reason to comply with these Josef Mengele wannabes!!
I’m not unalterably opposed to vaccines, we got vaxxed, too. But it’s a PERSONAL CHOICE that should be discussed with one’s Dr. And how peculiar it is that many authoritarian figures who demand we vaxx up 40 years ago were poli sci majors who drove battered rusted out Volvos and VW Beetles held together with QUESTION AUTHORITY bumper stickers.🙄🤔😖
“Because they have a mental illness.”
That’s about the only explanation for the fascist response to those who don’t wish to be vaccinated.
I would never believe it’s about “saving lives” since the party claiming that is all about eugenics, abortion, and population control.
‘evidence they do’ work against Delta ???
Also evidence they dont....
Conformity, yeah, that’s the ticket!
Equality in all things, nobody better or worse than anybody else.
People are all ultimately fungible.
Except when they are different.
I can see “The Purge” becoming the official policy of the United States. And here you just thought it was just fiction.
Why are those that took the jab so worried about those that choose not to?
Some vaxxed speak as though they wear white robes and pointy hats and burn crosses in their spare time...and would gladly turn up at the home of the unvaxxed late one night...the addresses supplied by Fauci and the CDC...
Also how they make fun of “them ignernt White trash hillbilly types” who won’t get vaxxed because they don’t know what’s good for them. While being oblivious to the reluctance of many Black people to get jabbed. Does the Tuskegee experiment sound familiar? I can certainly understand their scepticism in that respect.
hey the vaxxed are good to go so they should shut up.
as for all the lies coming from cdc fauci who msm..fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me..
Another factor in making the decision is the cure rate. I read that anyone coming down with the virus has a 99.85% chance of beating it.
Being 90 years old I had both jabs in Jan/Feb.
You can call me the number one anti-vaccine guy on the planet
This is because I’m a chemical engineer and I’ve studied this subject giving people shots to try to prevent illness for over 40 years now
Once again as I have hundreds of times I’m going to post the history of the vaccine industry the true history and I encourage you to read it in its entirety
I’m going to excerpt 1955. Which was an insane year

1955 Georgia State public health officers meet in Atlanta (May 1955) to discuss what was going wrong with the Salk vaccine program. A U.S. Public Health scientist at the meeting told the group that ‘he was not permitted to disclose what had happened because it would jeopardize the investment of the pharmaceutical firms in the vaccine program.’
1955 Measles death rate has naturally declined, without vaccines, to .03 per 100,000 by 1955.

1955 American Cancer Society advertising circular states ‘cancer will strike one of every four persons now living. More children from 3 to 15 years of age die of cancer than from any other disease.’ (50 years before, cancer was unheard of in children). According to the ACS, they are predicting 6.4 million deaths from cancer, compared with 128,000 in 1933–an increase of 6.2 million cases in 22 years. Vaccination, pesticide use and chemical pollution are the main factors that have increased since 1933.

The nation’s physicians were prevented from learning vital information about the trouble with Salk vaccine. The US Public Health Service had an advisory group made up almost entirely of scientists who were receiving money from the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, which was exerting pressure to go ahead with the program even after Salk vaccine was found to be dangerous.’ Spaulding further said, ‘the Infantile Paralysis Foundation kept secret the fact that live virus was detected in four out of six supposedly ‘finished and safe’ lots of vaccine.’

1955 First vaccinated generation become adolescents.
1955 Massachusetts reports 642% increase in polio since vaccinations began in 1954 with vaccination of 130,000 children. In response, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis states that the increase in cases was due to the fact that ‘no children were vaccinated there.’

1956 American Public Health Service announces 168 cases of polio and 6 deaths among those vaccinated. Censorship is then imposed on the reporting of reactions to Salk vaccine.
Harsh but true and more to come.
Vaccine is a defined term in law and under CDC and FDA standards. A vaccine has to stimulate an immunity in the person receiving it. And it must also disrupt transmission. That’s not what this is. Even the drug manufacturers admit the jab or its mRNA does not stop transmission.
The jab is a treatment, but if it’s discussed as a treatment it would not get the sympathetic ear of public health officials because people would ask what other treatments there are. And alternative treatments would hamper FDA’s ability to issue emergency approval of the jabs as a vaccine.
Defining the narrative with the term vaccine is a sucker punch to open and free discourse. “Vaccine” throws the discussion into one of pro/con vaccine. The jab is a mechanical device in the form of a very small packet of technology inserted intoe the human system to activate the cell to become a pathogen manufacturing site.
No basis exists to stipulate this is a vaccine. Simply put, this is a chemical pathogen device meant to unleash chemical pathogen production within a cell. It’s a medical device, not a drug. The jab is not a living or biologic system, but rather a physical technology that just happens to come in the size of a molecular package.
