Most Americans who haven’t been vaccinated against COVID-19 say they are unlikely to get the shots and doubt they would work against the aggressive delta variant despite evidence they do, according to a new poll that underscores the challenges facing public health officials amid soaring infections in some states. Among American adults who have not yet received a vaccine, 35% say they probably will not, and 45% say they definitely will not, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Just 3% say they definitely will get the shots, though another 16% say they probably

AssPress just can't help expose their bias with every single article: doubt they would work against the aggressive delta variant "despite evidence they do". What evidence? Because Fauxi says so?

#1 - the whole point is to paint people who won't get vaccinated as knuckle-dragging ignoramuses who don't know what's good for them. What the administration and media don't realize is that all they're doing is wrecking their already dismal credibility while stiffening the resolve of the resistance.

Need more proof that the 'Big Shot' is politically motivated? The article goes to great lengths to compare Republican and Democrat percentage of vaxes. As if politics should have anything to do with a virus or a shot. Issues & Insights: The states with low vaccination rates also tend to have larger minority populations. And blacks are the least likely racial or ethnic group to have been vaccinated, with Hispanics the second least likely, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. https://issuesinsights.com/2021/07/23/who-are-the-real-covid-vaccine-refuseniks-hint-its-not-what-youve-been-told/

They wail about people not believing the data, but they have completely blown their credibility. We cannot be sure the data are objective any more than we can believe that the number of deaths attributed to COVID are from COVID, rather than with COVID, or that the myriad deaths reported in VAERS from the vaccines have been 'debunked', or that the number of positive COVID tests are actual cases, or that the 99% of COVID hospitalizations reported by Fauci as unvaccinated folks opposed to the Brits reporting that 60% of recent hospitalizations are vaccinated people, or that January 6th was an armed insurgency, or that the 2020 election was a straightforward vote count. There is no honesty. We have no arbiter of truth, just brash propagandists. Why should we trust them?

My first objection to the shot was because I've taken two flu shots in my life. Got sick from the first one but twenty or so years later, decided to try again. Ended up with pneumonia three times that winter. Never happened before or since. So that was my reasoning. But as more information came out, the notion that I'd voluntarily take a shot that was heralded to attach to your DNA or RNA -who in their right mind would take this! Evidently plenty, but not me. Besides I had the covid flu a year and a half ago. So I'm good.

I had a conversation with a friend yesterday that ran over the same exact ground as #4's comment. At this point, I have no trust at all of the CDC, and certainly would, absent other information, do exactly the opposite of what Dr. Fraud recommends on anything. We have been lied to so much that they are not worth bothering with any more. At this point it appears that CDC and FDA are in regulatory capture, now run by Big Pharma. And that is weird, coming from a person who has been a long time supporter of the US pharmaceutical industry, even having done some engineering research work with MDs on some new orthopedic appliances, and how they perform structurally in the body. I also did some computer sim work on an implanted medical device. I used to trust the CDC and FDA totally....now my trust is near zero. Too many lies.

What evidence? Show me the data. 1) Israel has the highest vaccination rate of any country. 84% of their new cases are among vaccinated people. 2) Just this week, CDC- which had reported just over 12,000 deaths directly related to receiving the vaccine- quietly changed that number to just over 6,000. (Screen grabs on consecutive days show the figure changing). I wouldn't believe Faucci if he told me his name was Anthony.

The firefighter walked out of Engine Company 8 in the 1500 block of C Street SE just after 11 p.m. Wednesday and started to get into his car parked nearby, according to the police report.

This week’s White House Report Card finds President Joe Biden bumping along a rocky path that includes a surging border crisis, spreading inflation, concerns about his infrastructure bill, a wobbly CNN town hall, and a weak show against Russia. Democratic pollster John Zogby gave one of his lowest grades of the new administration, a D-, and cited “a miserable week” that also included a court loss for Biden’s amnesty plan for illegal immigrants brought into the United States as children.

MINNEAPOLIS - A Minneapolis City Council committee pushed forward on Wednesday with a measure that would give the voters power to replace the city police department. The amendment proposed and submitted by the advocacy group "Yes 4 Minneapolis Committee" calls for public safety to have a "comprehensive public health approach" but does not explain what that means. Under the plan, the police department would be replaced in the charter with a public safety department but doesn't outline how the department will work or be structured.

Fifty-one percent of voters have at least a somewhat favorable opinion of Biden compared to 52 percent who have a somewhat favorable opinion of Trump. More people have an unfavorable view of Biden (48 percent) than Trump (46 percent). However, former President Barrack Obama is more popular with voters than both Biden and Trump. Fifty-five percent of voters view Obama favorably, and only 26 percent have a very unfavorable opinion of him.

The U.S. Department of Justice has opted against investigating any of the Democrat governors who last year ordered nursing homes to accept residents who tested positive for COVID-19 against the recommendations of health groups. Federal officials reviewed information they received from New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey last year regarding the orders. Based on the review, they’re not opening Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA) investigations in the first three states, Joe Gaeta, deputy assistant attorney general, told Rep.

That doesn’t mean tomorrow, former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb tells CNBC. The CDC hasn’t provided any modeling on the Delta wave yet, which Gottlieb finds odd, but other academic institutions have produced some models — and those suggest that the peak might come as soon as next month: “I think the bottom line is we’re going to see continued growth, at least in the next three to four weeks. There’s going to be a peak sometime probably around late August, early September,” Gottlieb said on “Squawk Box.” “I happen to believe that we’re further into this delta wave than we’re measuring so this may be over sooner than we think.
