Poll Reveals Another U.S. Vaccine Divide, This One by Household

A new poll has found that Americans are sharply divided by household over vaccination status, with 77% of vaccinated adults saying everyone in their household is vaccinated and a similar share (75%) of unvaccinated adults saying no one they live with is vaccinated.

Sixty-seven percent of Democrats reported living in households where everyone had been vaccinated, compared with 39% of Republicans. Ten percent of Democrats said they lived in homes where no one had been vaccinated, compared with 37% of Republicans, according to the poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation, which has been tracking the public’s attitudes toward and experiences with vaccinations.

Overall, half of U.S. adults live in a fully vaccinated household and 1 in 4 lives in a completely unvaccinated household. The remainder, about 1 in 5 adults, lives in a household occupied by both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, including children under 12 who are not currently eligible to receive a vaccine.

The telephone survey of 1,888 adults 18 and older living in the United States was conducted from June 8-21 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

As policymakers continue to experiment with lotteries, free beers and other incentives, the poll found that workers were more likely to get the shot when their employers encouraged them to and provided paid time off to make it easier. Two-thirds of the employed adults surveyed said their employer had encouraged workers to get vaccinated, and half said their employer had provided them paid time off to get the vaccine and to recover from side effects.

The workers who said their employer had taken either one of those steps were more likely to report having been vaccinated, even after the poll controlled for other demographic variables. The finding suggested that more employers’ encouraging vaccination and offering paid time off could lead to higher vaccination rates among workers.

As virus cases fall across much of the United States, the poll found that optimism over the idea that the pandemic may be ending could hamper vaccination efforts, with half of unvaccinated adults polled saying that the number of cases is now so low there is no need for more people to be vaccinated.

If adult vaccinations continue their current seven-day average rate, about 67% of U.S. adults will have received at least one shot by July 4, just shy of President Joe Biden’s target of having 70% of adults at least partly vaccinated by that date, according to a New York Times analysis.

I can't help but notice that most of the unvaccinated adults are mostly Republicans.

At least, in the end, they'll mostly be killing each other.

I'll have you know I do more with my time then just play video games! 

This week I'm multi-tasking...

Since Thursday night, I've made about $7 500 000 on GTAO... and I've watched all 8 episodes 0f season 7 of BOSCH, all 6 episodes of season 1 of DEPARTURE and 3 or 4 episodes of season 1 of LOW WINTER SUN.

Similarly, my wife wonders why I hang with one fella the last few months.......and all I can say is "Well, I hardly even have to contribute to the conversation. He just goes on and on and once in awhile I toss in an opinion or a one-liner. It's easy-peasy."

Yeah, but it's only 8 episodes instead of the normal 10.

However, after the last 18 months, I suppose we should be grateful we got anything.

I'm looking forward to the follow-up TV series with BOSCH.

Excellent final season and a great setup for the spinoff... whenever that's due.

Agreed, although I wish we'd got our normal 10...

And right at the end, am I the only one who was hoping Bosch would clock Irving right on the jaw... just once?

I was actually yelling at my computer screen for him to do it.

Fucking Bosch

BTW, did you notice the Easter Egg?

The Gang Squad detective asks Bosch and J. Edgar if they've ever seen, "The Wire" and J. Edgar says, "I binge watch that shit."

Jamie Hector (J. Edgar) was the bad guy in "The Wire."

Much to my regret, I've never seen THE WIRE... at least not yet.

I'm currently watching season 2 of THE YOUNG POPE, now called THE NEXT POPE... featuring Jude Law and John Malkovich as Pope John Paul III.

A woman says to him that he reminds her of her favourite actor, John Malkovich. He responds that the actor does nothing for him.

I had just got a couple episodes into "The Wire" when you mentioned "Bosch" so I switched. Now I have to go back.

Understood.

But before you put Bosch completely behind you, does this guy remind you of anyone?

Murphy's Law

I have a buddy here in town who is the spitting image of Titus Welliver. People have actually done a double-take when meeting him for the first time.

If you can handle Irish accents, have a look at BLOODLANDS after THE WIRE.

4 episodes, 4 full hours... without commercials.

PS - I'd like to see James Nesbitt and Titus Welliver do something together.

The four people I hang with most here are all from Ireland. We play music and sing just about every week. The guy that looks like Welliver is from Dublin.

I've added Bloodlands to "the list."

Just checking. 

He might be "the missing link" between Murphy and Bosch.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
