From The Washington Times - Republicans are the most 'vaccine hesitant' [outline.com] The COVID-19 vaccine is now being administered on a carefully calibrated basis, first to front-line responders and soon to very high-risk groups — thank you, President Trump. A complicated public reaction is brewing, however. Over one-quarter of the U.S. population say they would balk at the vaccine. There is now an emerging “hesitant” quotient among those who are leery of getting the shot for a whole spectrum of reasons. As usual, there is a pronounced partisan divide. Republicans are the most hesitant to get the vaccine, according to a new poll released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Democrats, the survey found, are the least hesitant. “About a quarter (27%) of the public remains vaccine hesitant, saying they probably or definitely would not get a COVID-19 vaccine even if it were available for free and deemed safe by scientists. Vaccine hesitancy is highest among Republicans (42%), those ages 30-49 (36%), and rural residents (35%),” the poll analysis reports. “Importantly, 35% of Black adults (a group that has borne a disproportionate burden of the pandemic) say they definitely or probably would not get vaccinated, as do one-third of those who say they have been deemed essential workers and three in ten (29%) of those who work in a health care delivery setting,” Kaiser writes. Just 12% of Democrats, meanwhile, are vaccine hesitant. POLL DU JOUR • 27% of U.S. adults are hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available. • 59% of this group fear possible side effects, 55% don’t trust the government to make sure the vaccine is safe and effective. • 53% want to wait to see how the vaccine works with other people. • 51% say politics have played too great a role in the vaccine’s development. • 43% say COVID-19 risks have been exaggerated, 37% don’t trust vaccines in general. • 35% don’t trust the health system, 27% fear getting COVID-19 from the shot, 20% say they are not at risk to contract the virus. Source: A Kaiser Family Foundation poll of 1,676 U.S. adults conducted Nov. 30-Dec. 8 and released Tuesday. Re: Democrats - The Vaxxers Party
