Public sentiment on the importance of safe, lifesaving childhood vaccines has significantly declined in the US since the pandemic—which appears to be solely due to a nosedive in support from people who are Republican or those who lean Republican, according to new polling data from Gallup.
In 2019, 52 percent of Republican-aligned Americans said it was “extremely important” for parents to get their children vaccinated. Now, that figure is 26 percent, falling by half in just five years. In comparison, 63 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners said it was “extremely important” this year, down slightly from 67 percent in 2019.
I sincerely hope that 31% of Republicans contract Polio. Then maybe they’ll shut the fuck up
If we had a way to quarantine them all together so they can’t infect their unvaccinated kids, or anyone else who didn’t ask to participate in their bullshit, I’d be fully on board. Unfortunately, we saw what those dipshits did with COVID.
