Did political shaming shape who got the COVID vaccine? A new poll shows most consider vaccines safe, but fewer than half of Republicans think so

The mandates were the right thing to do in a public health crisis unfolding in real time, hospitals overrun to the point that nonemergency surgeries were canceled and people were “12 times more likely to be hospitalized or die in 2021 if you weren’t vaccinated than if you were,” Offit said…. Offit said he had three doses of vaccine, the last in November 2021 and had COVID-19 once.

They haven’t learned a thing, and they don’t WANT to learn or change.

44% of Republicans think they were/are safe. It won’t be long for the country now ...

[BenLurkin]

Were the hospitals really overrun?

were they really overrun for three years?

What was done to increase capacity during those three years? Anything?

"They haven’t learned a thing, and they don’t WANT to learn or change."

Tyrants don't have to change.

"While most people believe COVID-19 vaccines are safe and their side effects are now clear"

When the first sentence is a lie, I stop, right there.

Would you kill a baby in the womb to save your own life?

Political shaming, or evil height of murderous selfishness (you too pope francis).

[DoodleBob]

Tyrants don't have to change.

First, Offit is hardly a tyrant. He’s a pest. A gnat. He WISHES he wielded some actual power.

As for real tyrants never changing, you’re right, Indeed, the Ceaușescu‘s never wavered. Right up to the end.

[mass55th]

“People who got the vaccine as a general rule were people who were informed about it,” said Offit..."

Offit is a moron.

Ivermectin worked perfectly for us.

[magooey]

While overall 59% of those polled are confident the vaccines are safe and their side effects now known

The language as changed. They used to say "safe and effective". There is plenty of evidence that these new vaccines are neither safe nor effective.

[9YearLurker]

Bizarre combining of safety with awareness of side effects, presumably intended to influence results.

[catnipman]

the difference is between mindless, ignorant sheeple and educated folks who verify before trusting ...

and, to me, one of the great ironies is that the hippie generation of the 60’s and 70’s who proclaimed themselves to be the least trusting of Big Brother (what is now called the Deep State), now form the core of “progressive” sheeple who now almost literally worship Big Brother/Deep State!

hospitals overrun to the point that nonemergency surgeries were canceled the overwrought staff had plenty of time to work up dance routines to post on Tik Tok.

The hospital in my city was empty. Before youtube took them down, there were all kinds of videos of empty hospitals.

[roving]

I did what any normal person would do. Research the heck out of it to find out if it’s safe or not, and I found out it wasn’t. I’m not going to take the word from my doctor. He doesn’t know.

Most democrats got the jab. Yet 50% *admit* to getting covid. And continue to claim it’s effective. Simply not rational.

Safe? If it is so damn safe why have they lied about and hidden so much information on the testing and records of side effects? Common sense and an understanding of cause and effect does not require an advanced degree in medicine.

If A+B=C then C-B=A

75 years to release the testing records? If there is a dead skunk under your house, do you need to see it to know it’s there.

[vpintheak]

A-hole Dims wouldn’t get the jab because it was a Trump jab. Then they were all about the jab when Joetato got installed. Not a shred of thought from any of them.

As with the pre-born babies whose lives were ended by abortions and were not around to answer the pollsters on abortions, many people died from Covid jabs who might have said the jabs were “unsafe.”
