The majority of Americans say they won’t comply with Democrat President Joe Biden’s demands for the public to take more Covid shots.
In recent weeks, Biden’s administration has been pressuring the public to get more injections amid fearmongering reports from the Democrats’ corporate media allies ahead of the 2024 election.
However, a new poll has revealed that most Americans have no interest in complying with this agenda.
This is especially true of Republicans.
Moderna, whose profits in recent years have been driven by COVID-19 vaccine sales, claimed in August that an early study showed its latest vaccine to be effective against the so-called “Eris” and “Fornax” subvariants.
Pfizer similarly alleged that the shot it developed with BioNTech has demonstrated neutralizing activity against the Eris subvariant, at least in mice, reported Reuters.
On September 12, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that everyone 6 months and older take the updated Covid vaccines.
This recommendation came just eight days after the double-vaccinated and twice-boosted First Lady Jill Biden contracted Covid yet again.
The CDC further claimed that the “benefits of COVID-19 vaccination continue to outweigh any potential risks” and that “serious reactions after COVID-19 vaccination are rare.”
Eighty-year-old Biden, who last caught Covid in July 2022, got an updated booster on September 22.
He also encouraged all Americans to do likewise, despite the low risk to most people from a virus with only mild cold-like symptoms.
The latest Kaiser Family Foundation COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor poll revealed last week that 52% of U.S. adults are not interested in Biden’s Covid injection agenda.
According to the poll, 33% of respondents said they would “definitely not get” the vaccine.
Another 19 percent indicated they would “probably not get” the vaccine.
Conversely, 23% of adults indicated they “definitely” plan to get the vaccine.
Another 23% suggested they will “probably” get it.
And 94% of respondents who never received a vaccine indicated they’d likely hold fast.
Only 1% indicated with any certainty they’d cave now, years after America achieved herd immunity.
However, it appears most parents won’t roll the dice when it comes to children.
According to the KFF, “Most parents say they will not get their child the new COVID-19 vaccine including six in ten parents of teenagers (those between the ages of 12 and 17), and two-thirds of parents of children ages 5 to 11 (64%) and ages 6 months to 4 years old (66%).”
Over half of parents of children aged five and younger gladly admitted to neither giving their child Covid shots nor intending to do so in the future.
A key predictor of vaccine uptake appears to be political affiliation.
69% of Democrats indicated they would probably or definitely get the latest shot.
Whereas the same was true of only 25% of Republican respondents.
On the flip side, 29% of Democrats expressed resistance while 76% of Republicans indicated they would not get the booster.
It appears that Democrats continue to let Covid concerns dictate their lives.
58% of Democrat-voting respondents indicated they changed their behavior to “be more COVID-conscious.”
Just 19% of Republicans did likewise.
There may be a link between uptake and confidence in vaccine safety and medical authorities.
After all, 84% of Democrats believe the experimental mRNA Covid injections are safe.
Only 36% of Republicans think likewise.
And 88% of Democrat respondents indicated they trust the CDC, and 86% said they trust the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
For Republicans, however, the corresponding trust levels were 40% and 42%, respectively.
As has been true throughout the pandemic, a much smaller share of Republicans (24%) than Democrats (70%) expect to get the new COVID-19 vaccine – a 46 percentage point gap, according to our latest COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor poll. https://t.co/u1INw3bC6o pic.twitter.com/T1DZr0YFK1

According to the CDC’s COVID-19 tracker, only 1.8% of emergency department visits between September 17 and Sept. 23 were diagnosed as having the virus.
However, as Slay News previously reported, most of the recent positive tests for Covid have been discovered by “incidental” detection in hospitals.
This means the patients visited a hospital for a different reason, unrelated to Covid, and were unaware they had the virus until they were tested.
