49 percent of GOP men say they won't get vaccinated: PBS poll

[Diamond_Dog]

What the ever lovin .....?!?!

********

Nearly half of U.S. men who identify as Republicans said they have no plans to get the coronavirus vaccine, according to a new PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll released Thursday.

The study, which surveyed 1,227 U.S. adults from March 3 to March 8, found that approximately 30 percent of Americans overall said they do not plan on getting vaccinated.

The poll found a higher amount of opposition among Republicans, with 41 percent saying they would not get one of the three federally approved coronavirus vaccines and 49 percent of Republican men saying the same. Fifty percent of GOP men said they would get the vaccine or had already got it. One percent was unsure.

Comparatively, about 87 percent of Democrats included in the survey said they planned on getting the COVID-19 vaccine or had already received it.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have reported that Black, Latino and Asian people have been underrepresented among those vaccinated when compared to white populations.

Thursday’s poll also found that among those who want to get vaccinated but have not yet received a dose include 52 percent of Latinos, 48 percent of Black Americans and 43 percent of white Americans.

“These disparities do not correct themselves. There needs to be intentional effort,” Wen said.

1. I wish they all lived in Florida.

It would improve my chances to get vaccinated.

[ornotna]

59. No such luck

Wealthy pubs in Florida love the vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccination sites have popped up in politically important areas across Florida, yet no one claims to have been responsible for them.

Do we believe that it’s just a series of coincidences? Of course not.

It has been three months since vaccines arrived in Florida. Looking at the record, Gov. DeSantis has based vaccine decisions more on politics than science, which tracks with his wider COVID-19 response.

2. COVID Charlies?

The modern Thyphoid Marys. Except, they won't get locked away for society's protection as she was.

[Ocelot II]

3. Somewhere, Charles Darwin is laughing.

Although unfortunately a lot of these morons have already reproduced. Covid is especially dangerous for older, overweight men - the stereotypical MAGAt - it's just too bad that these nitwits will spread it to others, at least until the others are vaccinated.

[Chellee]

40. The bigger problem is mutations.

If it was only their lives that they were risking, who cares? And your point that they can spread it to others is a big concern, but even bigger is that every time this virus enters a new host there is a chance for it to mutate. And some of those mutations won't be affected by the vaccines we currently have, which puts the entire world back at risk again. As long as anybody's getting it, we'll be forever playing catch-up. As it is, I think we'll be getting Covid-19 booster shots for a long time.

[Ocelot II]

45. Yup. Do they care? Nope.

It won't kill them off in enough numbers to prevent spread and mutation, unfortunately.

[IcyPeas]

4. or they will do what trump did. get vaccinated but not tell anybody

[TheBlackAdder]

8. Be like my Trump neighbor. Crash a vaccine line, get them all while saying it was a myth and hoax.

.

But, as 70yo Libertarians, they are self-affecting and look out for themselves first.

Now that they have it, they boast that they crashed the line and forced their way in when only for first responders.

Still denying it's something to worry about, but getting it to be safe. Yet, they were frantically trying to get the thing for weeks and tried crashing a few sites before finally getting in one.

[riversedge]

19. makes me sick to read this. really does. selfish pissant IMHO

[blueinredohio]

22. That was my thought.

[Iliyah]

25. Total agree - LOL

GOP men are macho . ..

shithole really liked that song by the Village People.

[uponit7771]

56. +1

[edhopper]

5. How many

can we count on dying.

[TheBlackAdder]

6. Fuck them. It opens up the vaccine for those who can think.

[LizBeth]

9. the problem is, if enough does not get vaccinated it allows to continue and mutate again making all

us unsafe.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. I have realized that we can never trust anyone to be vaccinated, so we must live with masks & wipes.

.

That's what they say, but if they're like my Trumper neighbor, they'll deny it all while scurrying about trying to get it.

.

[Aristus]

7. This is a problem that evidently will correct itself...

n/t

[Ocelot II]

24. It won't kill enough of them to keep the virus from surviving and mutating.

Unfortunately.

[Irish_Dem]

10. If it weren't for them becoming variant incubators, I would just wish them good luck.

If they want to Darwin themselves off the planet, so be it.

[jpak]

11. What part of 530,000 dead don't these morans understand?

Fucking idiots

Yup

[Tribetime]

12. I think they're full of s*** when it's available to them they'll be the first trying to get it

[Rosco T.]

14. Good for them..

Cleans out the gene pool of stupid

[Stallion]

15. Most Likely Not the Professional Degree Republicans

all the Republican attorneys in my law firm are pushing to the front of the line to get their shots

[Ace Rothstein]

54. There's definitely an education divide from what I've seen regarding COVID and Rrpublicans.

The poorly educated group not taking it seriously at all.

[lagomorph777]

16. Hopefully this will kill off a bunch of them before November 2022.

[RockRaven]

17. Once vaccine is available to everyone without restrictions, a lot of companies are going to insist

that their employees be vaccinated, or reward them for doing so.

Once their refusal affects their job/pay, a lot of these blowhards will quietly get vaccinated.

[roamer65]

23. At will employers can require it.

I wouldn’t be “dead weight” and refuse.

They will terminate.

If I ran I company I would if I didn’t need them. They would be a liability risk.

[maxsolomon]

18. Liars.

Glad I live in a city that voted 80% for Biden.

[kimbutgar]

20. That's ok

I notice they are not the most fit men and don’t look like they miss a meal. I read Obestiy is a common factor. if they get COVID good luck to them.

But stupid is, is what stupid does.( or doesn’t do in this case)!

[roamer65]

21. FEMA camps.

[JI7]

26. ewww

[greenjar_01]

27. Narrator: They will get vaccinated

[napi21]

28. Well, I'm getting mine ASA they're available near here. Already have my name on the list.

Anayone who doesn't want to, that's their choice. I'll be vaccinated is others want to stay vulnerable that's fine with me. Their risk.

[Vinca]

29. Good. That's one way to reduce the gene pool for crazy.

[Thrill]

30. Women should say no Vaccine. No Pussy

[Bev54]

31. FFS are all these wimps afraid of needles??

[FakeNoose]

32. They probably are, but the wussies don't even know

... that the Covid needles don't even hurt. I just got my first dose the other day and it went so fast, I didn't even know it was over. The nurse put a small bandaid on my arm and said, "Okay you're done!"

I said "What? You didn't even give me the shot yet."

She said "Yes I did, you can go."

It was literally PAINLESS. And the whole thing was over in 5 minutes, start to finish.

[Crunchy Frog]

43. I'm afraid of needles, but that's not going to stop me from getting it,

as soon as I can.

[dhill926]

52. I didn't feel a thing with my first shot....

[Crunchy Frog]

58. I think that can vary a lot with the skill of the person who's giving it.

I've had flu shots that hurt like MFers, and others that I didn't even feel.

I used to get them at work and learned to avoid one nurse and always get it from the other.

Anyway, I plan to do it as soon as I'm eligible here.

[treestar]

62. Rachel Maddow said she is

which is why she wants to wait for the Johnson one - if that's the one that only takes one shot!

[orwell]

33. It's like a IQ test...

...and the morAns are flunking...

[Arthur_Frain]

34. I'd say "Great! More rampant toddy for the rest of us"

Except with “lookers” like Coulter, Guillefoyle, Collins, et al, I wouldn’t even offer the likes of them a grudge f$%k.

Never could figure out why the higher women climb into the GOP echelon, they get this vulturine appearance. Stereotypical, like the GOP men with the neck roll of fat over the collars.

[Mc Mike]

35. Also, their hero tRump deserves all the credit for the same vaccine.

[Peacetrain]

36. There is a real brilliant group of nimrods.. just keep passing it among themsleves and getting

stronger variants till it breaks through the current protections by our new vaccines.. yeah that is a real plan.. what a waste of skin some people are

[demtenjeep]

37. let them die

stupid is as stupid does

[11 Bravo]

38. Thin the fucking herd.

Just keep them out of my neighborhood.

[tanyev]

39. Okay.

[Stinky The Clown]

41. GOOD! Go Fucking Die, assholes!

[NCjack]

42. They probably don't know that covid-19 can cause erectile disfunction.

[Turbineguy]

50. No problem

A brand new assault rifle will fix that.

[bluestarone]

44. OK fine by me

We'll let The new covid- variants do their best to take care of this problem.

[FlyingPiggy]

46. It needs to be mandatory to get on an airplane, mass transit system, or for work.

They'll miraculously get it then.

[patricia92243]

47. No jab, no job would take care of that.

[sfstaxprep]

48. God I Hate This Country

I hope I have the opportunity to leave someday.

[flying_wahini]

49. We have too many of them anyway.

[lpbk2713]

51. Fine with me.

Thin out the herd.

[Hekate]

53. I feel most sorry for the medical personnel

[gulliver]

55. They helped kill 400,000+ people needlessly. To take the vaccine is to admit the truth of that.

It's like I said from the beginning. Trump failed to lead America in getting average covid results. He lead us into trailing the pack, letting people die, keeping the economy stalled. But because he's Trump, he simply redefined his failure as success. Then he doubled down on his "successful" practices, his very doubling down giving an err of confidence and winning, even as he stood in a pile of bodies.

There's nothing the true Trumpian Republican can do that will result in them questioning their own approach. Their success is unfalsifiable in their own minds, not because it's incapable of rational disproof, but because they admit no mechanism of accepting rational disproof. Not questioning their own approach is rule one of their approach.

The best that can be done is to deprogram some Trumpians and to defeat the rest soundly at the ballot box while we still can.

[tandem5]

57. Maybe about 30% of the population identify as Republicans and

about 41% of those (both men and women) say they won't get it. So about 12% of the population? Honestly that's a lot lower than I thought it would be. Obviously there are other demographics that will factor into an overall percent who say they won't get it, but among the batshit crazy GOP that's not bad.

[Voltaire2]

60. why do you find this surprising?
