Bummer: Young Biden Voters Opting To Not Get Vaccine

Hmm, I wonder why they aren’t getting vaccinated?

Young Americans Aren’t Getting Vaccinated, Jeopardizing Covid-19 Fight

Millions of Americans have rolled up their sleeves to get vaccinated against Covid-19, but one group is well behind: young adults.

Their reluctance is a significant part of why the U.S. missed the Biden administration’s goal of getting 70% of the adult population a first dose by July 4, and it is impeding efforts to develop the communitywide immunity sought to move past the pandemic and fend off Delta and other variants.

Now government health authorities are dialing up efforts encouraging 18- to 29-year-olds to get vaccinated.

The outreach will have to overcome the hesitancy of many young adults who don’t see the urgency given their relatively low risk of severe cases, are spooked by confusing information on social media and generally feel invincible, public-health experts say. (snip)

Some 38% of people ages 18 to 29 years received at least one vaccine dose, the lowest rate among any age group eligible to get immunized, according to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report late last month. The elderly had the highest vaccination rate, at 80%. (snip)

Young adults 18 to 39 years who said in surveys they were reluctant to get vaccinated indicated they were concerned about side effects, didn’t trust the shots, planned to wait and see if the vaccine was safe or simply didn’t believe vaccination was necessary, according to another CDC report.

Well, that’s a shot in the arm, eh? These are the people the Democrats depend on for voting, who are opting out.
