And yet[1]:
75% of unvaccinated adults are "not worried about getting seriously sick"...
50%+ are not worried "about the Delta variant worsening the pandemic"...
50%+ say "getting vaccinated is a bigger risk than getting infected", and...
75% don't think the vaccines are effective.
So definitely a "PR problem" is those figures differ from reality. But you read these figures, and the outcome is obvious: "I'm not going to get seriously sick, the long-term effects of the vaccine are unknown, and the vaccine doesn't work anyway... so why should I get it?"
