STUDY: Some Vaccinated Americans are Cutting Ties with Anti-Vaxxers

 

SAN ANGELO, TX – The Harris Poll, an American market research and analytics company, released results of a study Wednesday regarding the chances of people who have cut ties do to being an anti-vaxxer.

Here are some of the results from the poll.

  • One-third (33%) of vaccinated Americans report cutting ties in some way with friends, family members, or acquaintances who remain unvaccinated.
  • Three-quarters (76%) of vaccinated Americans say they are concerned with the fact that some of their family members are unvaccinated, including nearly half (46%) who are very concerned.
  • Two-thirds (67%) have tried to change their family member’s mind, including (41%) who regularly attempt to convince their unvaccinated family members. Millennials (78%) are more likely to attempt to do so than other generations: Gen Z (59%), Gen X (59%), Boomers (64%).
  • So How’d It Go?: Four in 10 (41%) said they aren’t willing to reconsider, but found common ground, while one-quarter (25%) say they are receptive and are reconsidering. One-fifth (18%) say the attempt to change their mind “worked” and their family member is planning to now get the vaccine; only (16%) say it started an argument.
  • Are the Unvaccinated Just Hesitant or Unswayable?: (46%) of unvaccinated Americans say they are waiting until they feel more comfortable to get the jab but (54%) say they won’t get the vaccine at all.
