RiskVille
Earlier this week we wondered it it might turn out that a successful vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 might be given the thumbs down by a significant proportion of the population.
Well, it turns out that this just might turn out to be case in the United States:
Only about half of Americans say they would get a COVID-19 vaccine if the scientists working furiously to create one succeed, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research...
As you might expect, it turns out that USians of different political persuasions think somewhat differently about this (undecideds not shown below):
Hmmmmm....
How could that possibly be?
Well:
...In previous years, (Donald) Trump has added his voice to the anti-vaccination movement in the United States, falsely linking vaccines with autism. The movement has contributed to outbreaks of measles in the United States and raised fears about the potential return of eradicated diseases such as smallpox...
Gosh.
It's almost as if cause is suddenly meeting effect at, like 'Warp Speed'.
