Hospitals are filling up with Covid patients with one thing in common: they’re not vaccinated. Here’s who they are.
ver 100,000 Americans are currently hospitalized with Covid-19, and over 1,000 people are dying every day. These are people from all walks of life - rich and poor, white collar and blue collar, old and young. But according to an estimate from the Kaiser Family Foundation, over 98% of them have one thing in common: despite the ready availability of Covid vaccines, they chose not to get them.
According to data collected by the CDC, which covers around 90% of shots given, 53% of recipients are women and 47% men.Polls consistently identify Republicans as the group least likely to report being vaccinated and the most likely to say they will never get a shot. This remains unchanged from polling in March, though both reported double-digit moves towards vaccination. 24% of white evangelical Protestants say they will never get vaccinated, the highest percentage among religious groups polled.
Workers in the tech sector reported the lowest levels of vaccine refusal—12%—and 71% of financial services workers reported being vaccinated, the highest among the sectors polled. Willingness to get vaccinated falls sharply along educational lines, according to polling by Morning Consult.
