(Worthy News) – The Biden administration, advocacy groups and states are making a push for minority and underprivileged communities who have often been overlooked and mistreated by the medical community to get the COVID-19 vaccine, a key element in the effort to immunize these groups. But there is no concerted effort to change the minds of one of the factions most resistant to getting the vaccine: the “definitely not” Republicans.

“This is a brand new vaccine,” Gabriel Smithson, a 52-year-old Republican and father of four who lives in Tennessee said. “I’m not going to jeopardize my health, I’m not going to put my kids in harm’s way. … I don’t want to play guinea pig.”

Many Republicans feel the same way. A recent CBS News poll found 34% of Republicans say they will not be vaccinated against the coronavirus. Independents aren’t too far behind, with 30% refusing the shots, while only 10% of Democrats say they’ll abstain. Republicans are the least likely to say “yes,” they will get the vaccine or “already did” — 42% — compared to 46% of independents and 70% of Democrats. [ Source: CBS News (Read More…) ]
