The exact question was: "If a vaccine for the coronavirus is made available to you, will you choose to be vaccinated or not?".
From my viewpoint the vaccine makes perfect sense if you are old enough and have one or more of the comorbidities known to cause serious issues. This also applies for younger people although the data suggests that it is not very likely to cause major problems for them.
And then those who want to be on the safe side.
One interesting thing about the answers is that Blacks and Latinos have 45% saying No, while that number is down to 30% of White people saying No. Not sure why that is, as data suggests Blacks and Latinos would benefit more from a vaccine. See for example https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/05/us/coronavirus-latinos-african-americans-cdc-data.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/05/us/coronaviru....
One more result from the poll is that 63% of Republicans say it is a good idea when asked: "Due to coronavirus, do you think it is a good idea or a bad idea to allow children to take part in local or school sports?".
This number is only 9% for Democrats.
