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.
