WASHINGTON — A White House staffer and a senior communications aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have tested positive for Covid-19 after being fully vaccinated, a White House official and a spokesman for the California Democrat confirmed Tuesday. Pelosi's aide received the diagnosis after...
There you go again, painting with that broad brush of yours, solely to fit your narrative.
Did you really just bold from the article what I posted? Vaccine RESISTANT = will NOT get vaccinated. 2.62/1 Republican/Democrat.
Not only have I read the article, I suggest you actually read the study too - all 34 pages.
First lesson, we spell it hesitant. And it's not San Dakota.
Second, do you understand the groupings? Who took the study? Their answers? Out of 2,097 participants, 1,189 had taken the jab, 893 had not.
Second, notice the survey was 817 Democrats, 321 Republicans, 544 Independents. Not really balanced, but let's proceed.

Notice the sliding scale of questions? Surely you've done these....they scale from one extreme to netral to the other extreme

See the different buckets? I know this is a big slide with lots of big words....

Now re-read the CNN summary after your learnings above.....
A look at the data reveals that the vaccine hesitant group, however, are not big Trump lovers. They're actually likely not to be Republican. Instead, many of them are people who are detached from the political process and didn't vote for either major candidate in 2020.
The most recent Kaiser poll helps illustrate that the vaccine hesitant group doesn't really lean Republican. Just 20% of the group called themselves Republican with an additional 19% being independents who leaned Republican. The clear majority (61%) were not Republicans (41% said they were Democrats or Democratic leaning independents and 20% were either pure independents or undesignated).
This is very much unlike the vaccine resistant group, of whom 55% are Republican or Republican leaning independents. Just 21% of that group are Democrats or Democratic leaning independents.
The Kaiser poll points to a larger problem: There isn't going to be a single ideological message that appeals to a majority of the vaccine hesitant group. They're of all political stripes.
I know this is hard for you to understand...but there are degrees involved in surveys. You know, VERY Likely, Somewhat Likely, Neutral, Somewhat Unlikely, VERY unlikely.
Combined, the HESITANT and the RESISTANT group make up the side of the scale that is anti-vaccine (to one degree or another). This is your negative bucket. These are all of the respondents who will not or may not get the vaccine. Both groups are "resisting" getting vaccinated today. Read...the...study.
Yes, Republicans lead the WILL NOT category. But you couple that with 41% Democrats who are likely not to/hesitant and the 20% unregistered/independents, you have a different story.
Thus CNN's conclusion (your source for all truth and knowledge) summation: The hesitant group (the group you COULD persuade to get the vaccines) is primarily NOT Republicans and it is the LARGER group. And thus, There isn't going to be a single ideological message that appeals to a majority of the vaccine hesitant group. They're of all political stripes.
They're of all political stripes.
But you and Tiblio keep banging the drum that the people not getting the vaccines are all Republicans. It's a stupid, unfounded premise. But hey...that's how you two roll.
Simply priceless. The pushback against GOP quacks needs to be bold & forceful, just like this. Thank you, Dr. Fauci!
This map is way wrong. ALL of the Counties around Cincinnati are bright RED. Only Hamilton County is Democrat and it is almost purple.i read your KFF link.
what jumped out at me is the county statistic
first, look at this:
Fact check: Biden won the most total votes – and the fewest total counties – of any president-elect
Opponents have cited the small number of counties Joe Biden won to question if he truly won the most votes of any presidential candidate in history.www.usatoday.com
Now, without re-hashing the populations of those counties, let's all assume that 2,497 > 477, ok?
back to the KFF article you're currently massaging yourself over:
should it NOT be expected that the number of counties which Biden won would be more vaccinated than those Trump won? I mean, we do have to stretch the imagination that the people living in URBAN areas who are more closely congested than those in RURAL areas would be more inclined to get vaxxed, right?
If you even look at this map casually, you can see that the blue areas are populous by virtue of being home to large cities. right?

all those red areas? yucky fly over country, mostly.
so, even a doddering fool such as yourself should be able to expect the blue counties to have more people vaxxed than people in the red counties based on tech, availability, and willingness. Ah, that last word - willingness. See, the people in the red areas may not be as WILLING to get injected due to their livelihoods may not place them in need of being vaxxed. They could very well NOT be commuting to large cities. They could very well be isolating themselves in their smaller cities, towns and communities.
Regardless of reason, it's kinda ******* obvious that the blue areas would be more vaxxed than the red areas and only a simpleton toad would need an article to point this out.
Well, it’s the Covid Vaccine thread. Only OFTB has pushed back against, TIm. Many have pushed back against Tibs and me, what are we supposed to believe?
Beat me to it.....OFTB is discussing this in a well thought out manner, you know logical, adult discourse.
@Tibs You just got your ******* *** handed to you with a shovel!! LMAO...down right ******* OWNED. Buh bye.
