More unvaccinated Americans blame vaccinated Americans for Deltas devastating U.S. surge than blame themselves, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.
The survey of 1,649 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Aug. 16 to 18, found that just 6 percent of those who remain unvaccinated say they are the ones who deserve the most blame for the new surge of COVID cases in the U.S. The share who say vaccinated Americans deserve the most blame is slightly higher (7 percent).
Likewise, when asked how much blame each group deserves, just 9 percent of unvaccinated Americans say they themselves deserve a great deal of blame. Nearly twice as many (15 percent) say vaccinated Americans deserve a great deal of blame.
The fact that unvaccinated Americans say their vaccinated peers bear more responsibility for Deltas spread flies in the face of data showing that its actually unvaccinated Americans who now account for a vast majority of new COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths and it underscores just how difficult it will be to convince most unvaccinated Americans that they have a role to play in ending the pandemic.

So OF COURSE they would ALSO be the reason behind the delta variant.

They haven't got the tiniest clue how these vaccines actually work, or how variants come about. It doesn't stop them from sharing their expertise though.

(12,873 posts)He didn't take time to explain, but I imagine he took a little bit of knowledge -- about how the over-use of antibiotics over time can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains -- and then completely inappropriately applied it to a viral pandemic. That is so not how viral pandemics work. But, unfortunately, because he "reasoned it out" himself. he's not been particularly open to accepting, you know, facts.
