On Nextdoor, an interesting thread appeared yesterday: a man wrote, asking where he could get a "free" COVID shot because he has medicare and Kaiser, and Walgreens said they cannot give him one of the free (medicare-covered) shots because he has secondary insurance. What struck me as interesting was that of the 100 responses, most were helpful as to where he could go to get his shot. But then someone started dropping gentle truthbombs like, "hard pass on the shot" or "due to the overwhelming evidence of harm (adverse events including death) associated with this shot, no one should get one." The OP shut the thread down because it "went sideways." However, what I realized after reading every single comment, was that not a single person expressed any fear of unvaccinated people, and no one said "you need to get your shot to protect me!" On the contrary, most people said, "get it or not -- it's your choice -- but I'm choosing to get mine because I want to be protected from severe illness/hospitalization."
I am not seeing this as the improvement that many people do -- but rather as to how brainwashed so many still are. This is just parroting what the TV tells them, and if the TV decides tomorrow that everyone is supposed to shun unvaccinated people again, these folks will be right up there at the head of that line.
Regarding the poll -- I wish it were ordered by the right-most column (the "definitely won'ts") rather than the "definitely wills." The hispanic adult group really leaps out as being different from the rest. Why is that? Many are in the middle rather than taking a hard position either way.
FWIW from the MD suburbs of DC......

could just be hesitancy to tell some maybe quasi gov poll taker the truth. there is a tendency not to be truthful. And why would you be anyway?
