The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that while 67% of Americans plan to get vaccinated or have already done so, 15% are certain they won’t and 17% say probably not.
Many expressed doubts about the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness, even though few if any serious side effects have turned up more than a month and a half into the vaccination drive.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s leading infectious-disease scientist, has estimated that somewhere between 70% and 85% of the U.S. population needs to get inoculated to stop the coronavirus, which has killed nearly 470,000 Americans. More recently, he says the spread of more contagious variants of the virus increases the need for more people to get their shots — and quickly.
But the issue is the few orthodox women in Lakewood that are skeptic, like that article a few days ago.
With no thanks to one of the biggest eid sheker of them all, so-called “Dr.” Zelenko promoting lies and conspiracy theories. Chillul hashem!
I don’t believe such “polls.” When Israelis were polled before the vaccine was available, they came up with similar results: 30% or more won’t take it. But when it became bmaiseh, everybody wants it. The number of men who actually refused it is negligible.
