"Those most likely to decline the jab include Republican women (43 percent), very conservatives (41 percent), white evangelicals (32 percent)"
By and large the hold outs are those on the right

While this is true, a majority of these groups are getting vaccinated, which is good. It’d just be nice if they were speak up and push back against the very vocal minority in their party that’s undermining the country’s ability to get out of this mess.
Conservative, didnt get vax. Not in a rush. I had covid, was nearly hospitalized, but my body figured out how to fight it and I recovered. I prefer to wait for the vax until longer term studies are done. I take precautions to protect myself and others. I make my own decisions, and am not influenced by who got the vax. Think for yourself and do what you think is best for you.

Im conservative and got vaccinated.
And it’s common sense why conservatives don’t want to get vaccinated...I don’t know why people are making a huge fuss about it...
These vaccines are brand new and a lot of us feel that they were developed and deployed on an extremely short timeline...
I bet if Trump was still in office a lot of the people on the left would not be willing to take the vaccine for the very same reason..the vaccines are new and not enough research has been done on them
CNN every day during Trump presidency, Kamala Harris in her debate vs Pence, Cuomo screaming into the mic: “RAHHH we don’t trust any vaccine developed while Trump is in office!!!” All those people once the vaccine is distributed when Biden is in office: “How dare you not get vaccinated, shame on you, you murderers!!” Hmmm was Trump working in a lab for Pfizer?
Half your co-workers are conservative. If you think this way of half the country you are extrapolating a small portion of the population in a very dangerous way

I'm not insulting you silly, although as I mentioned if you're taking all this as a personal insult you are definitely reading with blinders on. If I aimed to insult you, I'd just insult you.

P1 all those vaccines have been studied thoroughly you cannot say that about this vaccine
Yet another failed attempt at generalizing 75m people as some “cult”. Let’s not forget Kamala during her VP debate refusing to trust the vaccine.
^ Lol! What exactly are you a “Manager” of? The Arizona fraudit? Because whoever is potentially putting you in front of clients with your kind of thinking is in danger…
Hot Take: intentionally dodging the vaccine because of political views and continuing to spread the virus is straight up bioterrorism.
If you're having trouble finding it still, the former is probably not true
Generalize much?

Plenty are. Most of my family is extremely conservative and voted Trump but they got vaccinated as soon as they were eligible. Not all Republicans are MAGA.
Only mentioned vaccine because that was topic of the main post. And I don’t think you understood my point about tolerating Trump because of the radicalism of the Dems, including Biden, because I think there are a lot of non MAGA Trump supporters.
I’m conservative and I’m vaccinated

lol what a gross and intellectually lazy take. I know twitter tells you that all conservatives want to fiddle orange man's balls and fight the 5G vaxxer conspiracy from the hollers of Tennessee but if you got out more often, you'd find thats not the case.
Most of the 5G nutters are actually oddly apolitical normies who arguably have a mental break. The internet and social media is driving everyone a different type of crazy.

By not taking Covid vaccine, you are putting global population in danger. Would expect corporates to mandate vaccine so that things can be normal again.
I know lots of liberals not getting vaccinated ok
My SO’s entire family is republican, and they have all gotten both doses. They also have a number of folks who work in healthcare, so they actually understand the science and know when to turn off the politics. You might be surprised how many people are in the same boat. Fwiw I also know plenty of dems who haven’t gotten shots and aren’t in a hurry to.
Trump got vaccinated

You can make the same argument for African Americans (and quite frankly I don’t blame their hesitancy based on this country’s history).
People like lebron won’t come out and say they’re taking the vaccine to encourage more participation, yet only one subgroup gets singled out...wonder why

I wish I could just read an article with the numbers instead of a bunch of anecdotal stories with the numbers buried in. The Chicago tribune states Democrats are overstating how bad the virus is and conservatives underestimate 🤦♂️. Perfect storm.

It’s too late. They made it a political football on the campaign trail. No turning the clock back now.
I am a conservative/Republican and I am fully vaccinated by choice.
Left wing liberal. Got vaccinated. Still got Covid. Go figure.

Two keys to overcoming hesitancy: step one is to frame the reward/risk equation in favorable terms. This is one way:

Second, is what you’re seeing in a lot of the « conservative and vaccinated » comments on this thread. We need people like YOU guys talking it up. Celebrity us fine, but this is a case where social influence—people like me who share my values and concerns—is the most persuasive case we can make.
