Most Americans say they wouldn't trust an American vaccine if it came out this year before the election. They are worried that Trump may be putting on pressure to get one out to help his election bid that it might not be safe.

Poll: Most Americans wouldn't take a COVID-19 vaccine before the election

A majority of Americans are concerned that a COVID-19 vaccine will be rushed to the market before it's ready because of political pressure from the Trump administration, according to a new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF).

Even if a vaccine is available before Election Day, 54 percent of respondents said they wouldn't take it.

The survey, released Thursday, found 62 percent of respondents said they were concerned about a vaccine being authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before it is proven to be safe and effective. That number included 85 percent of Democrats, 61 percent of independents and 35 percent of Republicans.

If a vaccine were approved before Nov. 3 and made freely available to anyone who wanted it, about half of all respondents said they would not want to get vaccinated.

According to the poll, 56 percent of independents and 60 percent of Republicans said they would not get the vaccine, while 50 percent of Democrats said they would.

I think someone was lying to the pollsters. More Democrats than Republicans say they'd be worried; but they'd also be more willing to get vaccinated than Republicans. Does it make sense? The numbers would mean 15% of Democrats wouldn't worry about the safety but 50% would still get vaccinated. That suggests 35% of the worried Democrats figured it might not be safe, but then again it might be, so weighing the risks, they went with deciding to be vaccinated even if they didn't trust Trump.

On the other hand, 65% of the Republicans say they wouldn't worry about it, but only 40% would get vaccinated? I think 25% of them were lying -- they say they're not worried but still wouldn't get vaccinated? Or are they being reckless, not worrying about the safety of the vaccine or of getting Covid-19?

Or were 35% of the Democrats lying, pretending to be afraid of it trying to make Trump look bad while they got vaccinated anyway?

It could be that the independents were the most honest. Those numbers make more sense since 61% expressed concern and 56% said they wouldn't get vaccinated.

As soon as the FDA approves one, sign me up!

So far all the direct side effects in human trials have been very mild.

I get flus hots, pneumonia vaccines, shingles vaccines, tetanus, had the polio, and MMR vaccines.

I will never get another vaccine until they stop using aborted babies tissue in the process. There is yet another reason, and that is the morbidity rate for coronavirus is less than .2 %. It's simple math. Most people who get the virus will not die from it. The very young and elderly folks should avoid places that are crowded.

This is Pastor John MacArthur. I used to attend his church when in lived there.

Well I have done my homework and most of teh conspiracy theories are just that- conspiracies without hard facts. Every medicine has side effects! Even aspirin and tylenol! So th efact that some people experience some negative effects of vaccines is to be expected.

All medications and vaccines are decided this way:

Do the benefits outweigh the risks!

the harshest example is chemo-therapy. YOu givwe the patient poison that kills tissue. The hope is that it kill sthe cancer before doing serious harm to the patients. It should all be talked through with ones physician to decide!.

If they are using aborted babies in the vaccine process, they are doing so illegally. Under Pres. Bush 2 The last of legal uses of aborted babies or their parts was enacted. Harvesting stem cell lines. They could only use th elines already harvested.

This preacher has some bad information.

Not so. In fact this video describes some of the horrific conditions used in the 1960's to develop vaccines.


Even Wiki get's it right and they are not motivated by science.

More:

Abortion opponents protest COVID-19 vaccines’ use of fetal cells


Fact check: Some vaccines are made with human DNA

Last, my doctor tells me that these vaccines do have aborted fetal cells in them. You are correct, that these abortions took place more than 50 years ago. Nevertheless, they are still used.

God speed.

I thought they were using freshly murdered babies!

But this is a tempest in a teapot. No matter what we think or feel, those babies were grandfathered in by law to use for stem cells and research. It is the world after all.

If this is all the fuss is about , using cells from decades old babies- I will take the vaccine. I am an organ donor! If the can use my old decrepid rotting corpse and find some use out of stuff in side- I say go for it!

The law is a fool.
