Almost all Americans, adding a majority of Republicans, say they would in fact or probably not receive the Covid-19 vaccine if you had today, according to a new survey, the most recent sign of concern and uncertainty as president. Trump promises a quick vaccine and his own fitness officials warn that it can take several more months to be ready.
When asked if they would get “a vaccine to save you Covid-19 if they had it today,” 51% of American adults said they would “surely or likely” be vaccinated, while 49% said they would not.
Although Trump accused Joe Biden and Biden’s vice president, Senator Kamala Harris, of spreading “reckless rhetoric against vaccines,” Democrats and those who depend on the Democratic Party were 14% more likely than Republicans to receive a vaccine (58% vs. Republicans). 44%).
“Let me be clear. I accept as true with vaccines. I accept as true with scientists,” Biden said in a speech Wednesday. “But I don’t accept as true with Donald Trump. Right now, other Americans can’t either. “
The new Pew Research Center National Survey of 1,0093 U. S. adults, published Thursday, that Americans’ goal of receiving the coronavirus vaccine has declined particularly across all primary political and demographic groups.
An earlier Pew survey conducted in early May found that approximately seven out of 10 adults (72%) declared that at that time they would get a coronavirus vaccine if available.
In May, 42% of respondents said they would definitely get a coronavirus vaccine, but that number halved in the September survey (21%).
“We will have a vaccine in a few weeks, it can also take only 4 weeks, it can also be only 8 weeks, but we are going to have it,” Trump said in an interview Tuesday. However, on Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told lawmakers that while it is possible that a limited source of vaccine until the end of 2020, will not be “generally had”. to the public until mid-2021. Trump reiterated his statement Wednesday night that a vaccine would be in a position “sometime in October” or sometime after. When asked about the CDC director’s comments earlier today, Trump said Redfield “made a mistake” and “misunderstood” the questions. In a Navigator Research ballot released Wednesday, only 41% of Americans say they agree with Trump to get accurate facts about the coronavirus vaccine. Many have voiced considerations that the president and his management are rushing to expand a vaccine. Although 71% of those surveyed on Navigator’s ballot (who voted 1,007 registered voters between Sept. 10-14) said they were ‘pro-vaccine,’ only a portion said they would get a coronavirus vaccine. when you have it again.
“We cannot allow politics in any way to interfere with a vaccine. Americans have had to suffer President Trump’s incompetence and dishonesty in testing and non-public protection equipment,” Biden said Wednesday. “We can’t repeat those fiascos, when it comes to a vaccine, what’s at stake is too much. “
