The debate of whether or not to get vaccinated has caused a divide in other places besides politics.
A new poll has revealed that Americans who’ve received the COVID-19 vaccine have stopped seeing people they know haven’t been vaccinated.
The poll—conducted and released by Harris—has been keeping an eye on adults nationwide throughout the pandemic in order to gage changing political and social mindsets. After fielding a sample of 1,920 surveyed individuals from Sept. 10 to Sept. 12, Harris researchers found that 33 percent of those vaccinated are breaking away from family, friends and others who remain unvaccinated.
Furthermore, 76 percent expressed concern for those in their family who haven’t received any dosage, and two thirds have tried to persuade them to get the vaccine. Another eight percent claim they “do not intend on socializing with [unvaccinated acquaintances] again.”
“The vaccine is setting out to reshape more than just family relationships,” reads the poll’s takeaway. “[From] weddings to workplaces, vaccinated Americans are drawing new, sharper lines around who they choose to spend time with, leading to new social behaviors in the months ahead especially as we approach the holiday travel season.”
However, the Harris poll further points out that 46 of people who remain unvaccinated are simply waiting until they feel more comfortable with getting the vaccine; the remaining 54 percent maintain they won’t get it at all.
Forbes notes how this divide between the vaccinated and unvaccinated is becoming a more pervasive issue, with many individuals who have denied getting the vaccine losing their jobs as a result.
That's called FREEDOM.
I can see it being a problem. “Don’t bring your vaccinated super spreader germs to my Thanksgiving dinner.”
Good! The latest reports indicate that Vaccinated individuals carry a high Viral Load. They may be a danger to the Unvaccinated.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Covid is real, and it has been seriously over-sensationalized.
There’s a good chance the unvaccinated will get covid from the vaccinated.
It’s a two-way street. I don’t care to be around family that have been vaccinated and judge those that have not like me and my wife.
This kind of threat deserves a “well, don’t let the door hit ya...” type of response. It’s nice when people you thought were friends clearly I.D. themselves as backstabbing snowflakes.
Might be a good time for unvaccinated people to take another look at their wills.
This divisive anti-science BS is political garbage.
Good. Less funerals to attend when the vaxxed start dropping like flies.
Everyone I know who has been diagnosed with covid this month... 7.., were vaccinated.
No matter WHAT idiots in my family won’t talk to me ever again, I. WILL. NOT. TAKE. THE. SHOT. Period. End of story. No. Matter. What.
Why?
If you’re vaccinated you’re safe. (in their opinion)
This makes no common sense.
Either you believe the vaccine works or you don’t.
Which is it?
Another plus to refusing to get jabbed.
the liberal’s plans to divide America are working-
I'll hazard a guess that a good chunk of that 33 percent think Biden is doing a great job as well.
My guess is the expression, “misery loves company” fits here.
If the fully vaccinated are mega spreaders as seems evident (see Israel the most vaccinated country with the highest number of new cases) then I am perfectly fine staying away from those who were scared into taking the vax.
Boy, the System got so much more than they ever dreamed of by releasing the virus just to unelect Trump.
That’s why they’re moving so quickly toward the Great Reset. They have a window of time and are making the most of it.
Its later than you think. Balkanize.
They really should. The vaccinated are the spreaders of the virus. Also, fate unknown.
