I'm curious as this has political implications. Have you been vaccinated?
 
Yes, as has my husband and daughter (Moderna and Pfizer), my sister and her Republican husband (Pfizer), my brother-in-law and his wife (Moderna), their daughters (one Moderna and J&J for the one who was pregnant at the time) and all my friends.

Happily, Oregon achieved 70% vaccinated the other day.
 
Before I answer, I'd like to know what "political implications" you have in mind, and what you're actually trying to figure out, here.

Pretty obvious to me. Use your knowledge of which party's members have mocked getting vaccinated for a 'hoax' virus.
 
My partner and I are vaccinated. Dad, mom, step-dad, brother, sister-in-law, nephews, aunt, uncle, and cousin.

Other in-laws, who were a vector for infecting my brother, SiL, and one nephew and lost a family member to that same outbreak chain, have largely not vaccinated.

I met a few (SiL's parents) briefly in passing last weekend at the tail end of a gathering with some family (hadn't seen in 10 or so months). They had just been to a cookout fundraiser to build a new church. There was some kind of malfunction with the grills, so the pastor had everyone pray. Then the canopy caught fire. I refrained from making some observations.

Hopefully acbytesla's curiosity doesn't boil down to bigoted stereotypes and confirmation bias. Perhaps you should do him a favor and let him speak for himself.

Also it seems the poll doesn't expose who voted what. So a party line breakdown isn't really possible. Either acbytesla hasn't thought this through, or you haven't. Which would you say it is?

Yeah, but what are your politics?

I don't think there should be. But I have heard people in Castle Rock say that COVID is a hoax. There seems to be a lot of GOP members who are dismissive of the health crisis. I actually expect everyone to on ISF to say they have been vaccinated. But maybe I'm wrong.

I actually expect most ISF members to say nothing one way or the other.

I think he just did. Of course, you could try and change his post to say something else.:rolleyes:

Oh, look...one person (so far) has chosen "No, Covid is a hoax".

Bigoted stereotype, you say?

"Some claims mentioned that COVID-19 vaccine is a ‘total hoax’."


"On November 14, a South Dakota nurse named Jodi Doering... highlighted a real crisis in hospitals around the country, especially in red states where governors have refused mask mandates and the president’s false claims about the virus are taken as gospel.

In interviews with the Cut, 12 nurses described dealing with COVID-denying patients, from ones who simply refused treatment to those who spit or coughed on them and recited conspiracy theories about the virus."


Covid-19: The Greatest Hoax in History: The startling truth behind the planned world takeover Paperback – September 29, 2020

"A woman who allegedly live-streamed video inside a hospital to claim Covid-19 was a hoax has denied a public order offence."

"Ted Nugent has tested positive for COVID-19, after referring to the pandemic as a "hoax" on several occasions.
"It's not a real pandemic and that's not a real vaccine, I'm sorry," he falsely argued in another video posted on Christmas."

"A Facebook video filmed live on Dec. 1 and viewed over 6,000 times shows the speaker alleging that the coronavirus pandemic is a scam, that pneumonia is not linked to COVID-19 and that a vaccine against the novel coronavirus will deliver a microchip to the recipient."
 
Yep, Moderna. Though, given the immunosuppressant I'm on (for psoriatic arthritis) any vaccine may tend to be less effective. Whole household now all V'd up.
