SOON Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Poll: 40% of Republicans won’t get coronavirus vaccine By LAUREN THEISEN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS JUN 02, 2020 | 10:53 PM In its short existence, the coronavirus has already taken the lives of more than 100,000 Americans and infected almost 2 million at least. But even though the search for a vaccine is one of scientists’ top priorities at the moment, many in the U.S. say that they don’t want one, even if it’s free. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll of 1,001 adults asked them the question, “If a vaccine that protected you from the coronavirus was available for free, would you a) definitely or probably get it or b) definitely or probably not get it?” A mere 71% percent of Americans answered that they would get it, with Republicans and Evangelical Christians in particular showing the most opposition. In the poll, 40% of respondents who identified as part of the GOP did not want the vaccine, with 37% of Evangelicals saying the same. For those who said they wouldn’t get vaccinated, half of them said that it was because they didn’t trust vaccines in general, while 23% said it was because they didn’t think the virus was dangerous enough to warrant it. As ABC notes, interest in a vaccine is significantly higher in areas that have experienced severe outbreaks of coronavirus compared to those that haven’t, which means that support could increase as the pandemic continues. But if these results hold, and many Americans remain opposed to getting treatment that would prevent coronavirus infections, then finding a vaccine may only be another part of the battle to eradicate the virus, and not the endpoint many hope for.

Something else will come up. The world is changing, and a lot of structures have to come down. We haven't gone through Covid only to go back to how things were before. Quote

Why do they always refer to that particular vaccine as the "Pfizer" vaccine? On CNN. On the BBC. I hope people know that the vaccine was actually developed by Biontech? Quote
karbatal Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 UK Health Minister was yesterday bashed on twitter for claiming UK's success with the vaccine when in fact was developed by scientists of Turkish origins in Germany and manufactured in Belgium: THE EU that they are leaving Quote
