Majority of unvaccinated incorrectly believe boosters show vaccines aren't working: KFF poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A majority of unvaccinated respondents said they believed the potential need for COVID-19 boosters indicate that the vaccines aren't working "as well as promised," a Kaiser Family Foundation poll published Tuesday found.

KFF's September Vaccine Monitor determined that 71 percent of unvaccinated respondents think that additional booster shots signal that the vaccines are not working, compared to 19 percent of vaccinated people.

A wide majority of vaccinated respondents, at 78 percent, said instead that possible need for boosters shows scientists are finding ways to make the vaccines more effective, as did 62 percent of all participants. In comparison, 22 percent of unvaccinated participants agreed with that statement.

Studies have consistently shown the COVID-19 vaccines are very effective at preventing hospitalization and death, as unvaccinated people experience both hospitalizations and fatalities at higher rates.

1. But horse dewormer paste is effective?

Wiiiiiillllbbbbuuuuur...

3. I literally can't wrap my head around it

There is no available evidence that Ivermectin- an antiparasitic drug- has any effect on COVID but anti-vaxxers are just wolfing it down, all the while professing concern about vaccines that millions of people have gotten which is keeping them from getting COVID and/or keeping them out of the hospital.

Teh stupid it burns

2. People get flu shots (basically boosters) every year

Plus, we already have a new widespread variant. Vaccines are not foolproof and Pfizer is reportedly less effective against Delta. BUT it is keeping most vaxxed people out of the hospital and from having severe cases if they happen to get a breakthrough infection.

This is the kind of nonsense that is spewed nightly by Tucker Carlson on Fox News (among others I'm sure)

4. And tetanus boosters

And other vax boosters.

6. Right

Why are Covid boosters being treated any different?

5. These idiots are the reason we need a booster.

Their refusal to get vaccinated is resulting in deadly variants.
That is why we need a booster.

8. Exactly. The more unprotected individuals there are the higher the potential

for mutations ... and the more mutations, the more likely something emerges that's more vaccine-resistant and/or more contagious and/or virulent.

These people clearly have no concept of social responsibility.

Buncha Ayn Rand loving assholes.

9. The GOP always screws up everything and blames everyone else.

Right, they have no sense of morality, social responsibility, nor do they posses the ability to make good decisions.

7. Amazing how many of these people are 'medical experts' who will be soon on their way to the

local hospitals seriously ill or close to dying before too long, if they keep up their ill advised behavior.

Sarcasm here by the way...

10. Morons. Literally.

Any parent (really any vaccinated adult) has had experiences with the gazillion doses & boosters for their children (or themselves) through at least age 12 (and many through college prep time).

The idea that needing a booster means vaccines aren't working is ludicrous - anyone who has been seen regularly by a doctor and has not refused vaccines should have vivid memories of the horrible muscle ache from theirTDAP booster in middle-school years (and likely later).
