According to a new Gallup poll, while 65% of Americans are willing to be vaccinated, 35% are not even if the vaccine is FDA-approved and also free. "While Gallup has consistently seen that U.S. party preferences play a strong role in Americans' views on COVID-19, the new poll extends that to willingness to be vaccinated. Eighty-one percent of Democrats are willing to be vaccinated today if a free and FDA-approved vaccine were available. That compares with 59% of independents and just under half of Republicans, 47%."

If the vaccine is safe and free, what's the problem?

Perhaps because the MAJORITY of people who get the virus show NO, Nada , Zero and ziltch symptoms at all?

But isn't a vaccine preventative?

That's 33% of the population as potential super spreaders.
The concern of Americans should be obvious and acute.
The admin's doctors say we need 95% on masks.

In general, Republicans, as per your OP, in much greater numbers than Democrats, don't trust science.

With this vaccine, however, considering we know how much Trump administration likes to cut corners and does not care about peoples' safety, I would not be surprised if many more people would be suspicious of "safety" statements by what has apparently become Trump's FDA. Even myself, probably one of the most pro-vaccine people on this site, am having doubts on whether I'd be in a rush to take THAT one.
 
Our schools fail at teaching basic science.

Completely propagandized fools, would rather take HYDROCLOROQUINE, that has KNOWN dangers, warned against by MOST doctors, as prophylactic, when known useless for that purpose, than a vaccine.

Trump and his fake this and that, is a NATIONAL security threat. WE have 35% sovereign citizen thugs. Who want to murder anyone that tells them anything.

It depends on the vaccine. One is being tested that is an RNA based approach. I’ll pass. IMO, it’s too unpredictable.

This virus has shown that many Americas are pretty stupid when it comes to common sense solutions and their refusal to wear a mask and now this.

This is the dark side of American exceptionalism in full display

So explain the uptick in wearing a mask has only caused more cases?

I cannot answer the question asked. I suspect there are a number of reasons, varying from person to person.

The percentages given are in the same range as those we see for the annual influenza vaccine. If most Americans availed themselves of the influenza vaccine, we might see a nationwide reduction in deaths from that disease in the thousands.

Regards, stay safe 'n well.
 
Our country has a lot of morons. The biggest reason is that we put a paywall in front of higher education.

No surprise. More Americans believe in Bigfoot and Elvis sightings in the grocery store than in evolutionary biology and climate change science.

Liberal politicians are not the ones trying to pray away the gay, continuing to believe in trickle down economics, and dismissing the unanimous consensus of every single scientific organization on the entire planet on climate change.
