California Republicans less likely to seek COVID vaccine, poll reports

[DBoon]

As California struggles to bring the deadly COVID-19 pandemic under control, the state's Republican voters are far less likely to seek a vaccine and express less support for small businesses, health care workers and other at-risk workers, according to a new poll by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS).

Only 58% of Republican voters surveyed say they are very or somewhat likely to seek the vaccine, compared to 88% among Democrats and 72% among those with no party affiliation. More than one-third of Republicans—37% in all—say they are somewhat or very unlikely to seek the vaccine, compared to 8% of Democrats and 22% of those with no party .

The poll described the Californians' attitudes on the pandemic as "highly politicized," and found that Republicans are more likely to see vaccinations as a matter of personal choice, rather than as a shared responsibility to protect the health of all Californians.

9. Once a moron, always a moron. Like you say, it's a shared responsibility on ALL of us.

The entire republican party reminds me a bunch of 5 year olds in the cafeteria. But the ones around me (the 5 year olds) are far better behaved.
