Just as the U.S. reaches a SARS-CoV-2 death count of 200,000, a new poll has revealed that only 13% of respondents are willing to take a COVID-19 vaccine when it first comes out. And while a meager 9% said they “very likely” to take the vaccine, a whopping 33% said they’re not likely at all to take it.
More women than men showed reluctance to accept it; half as many Blacks as Hispanics said they would take it. There was no difference in numbers along political lines, although Democrats showed the biggest drop in those who would accept it right away.
