Latest Hoax – Anti-Vaxxers Claim That Requiring A Booster Shot Proves Vaccines Don’t Work

The ongoing pandemic got humanity split into numerous groups in terms of health-related beliefs.

A third dose of the vaccine got approved by U.S. regulators last week in an attempt to make the shots more efficient.

In contrast, 71% of unvaccinated Americans claim that it’s proof that vaccines don’t work, as per a survey recently made public by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Curiously, 80% of the vaccinated participants believe that booster shots are a good sign.

Liz Hamel, the foundation’s director of public opinion and survey research, said:

“We have seen for sure that the vaccinated and unvaccinated have viewed the pandemic very differently. It’s not really surprising to me that they view the conversation around booster shots differently.”

According to Hamel, those who haven’t yet gotten inoculated are the “strongest holdouts,” also mentioning that the unvaccinated are likelier to think the severity of the situation is exaggerated and are less worried about getting sick, in contrast to those who are vaccinated.

Kaiser’s study surveyed 1,519 random adults between September 13 and September 22, after the Biden administration announced its plans to introduce booster shots to all Americans, but prior to official health officials recommended them for citizens over 65 and older, who are at a higher risk of getting ill.

Curiously enough, the differences in attitudes regarding inoculations seem to be different according to partisans.

The data revealed that 90% of the respondents who are Democrats claimed that they’d gotten at least one vaccine dose, in contrast to 58% of Republicans.

It was noticed that the discrepancy in regards to political identity stayed constant at roughly 30 percentage points since vaccines became commonly available last spring, according to Hamel, as the gaps in other criteria like race or ethnicity decreased steadily.
