At just 20% refusal cops are actually much *more* likely to take the vaccine than nurses:
"An American Nurses Association survey of 13,000 registered nurses showed 34% said they would take a COVID-19 vaccine, with 36% saying they would not and the rest saying they weren’t sure."
That's more rational than you might expect: a significant % of them have probably been infected already at work, and the vaccines haven't been safety tested in people who were already infected.
@pete I wish cops were more likely to deny vaccination. Then, if they are ever called upon to enforce mandatory vaccinations, they would be less likely to comply IMO.
@Jeremiah23 I wonder how many cops who would refuse vaccination, would actually refuse to enforce mandatory vaccination? Might be the correlation you'd hope for.
Conversely, I'd hope many cops who accepted vaccination, would refuse to enforce mandatory vaccination...
@pete Either way, I hope we don't have to find out! 😨
@Jeremiah23 Sadly the best outcome for society would probably be that one of these vaccines turns out to be clearly dangerous, and the problem turns into a major disaster, localized in one country. :/
This _will_ happen again. And it's just a medical fact that rushing into vaccinations is dangerous - we've literally never succeeded at it before without some kind of screwup.
@Jeremiah23 I'm not confident hospitals and doctors will report the raw data required to find that out either.
Sad really, because they're destroy the trust required for vaccination in general. And that's a very real destruction: without honest monitoring, we really can't know if vaccines are safe. And vaccines absolutely can be more dangerous than the diseases they prevent. That's what the testing and science is for! But subvert that, and...
@pete I'm not confident that the media will report a clearly dangerous vaccine if against state or state-sponsored interests😕 😣
