Survey results suggest that "most Americans overstate the risk of hospitalization" for both unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals. Roughly 92 percent "overstate the risk that unvaccinated people will be hospitalized," while 62 percent overstated the risk for vaccinated individuals, Gallup wrote in a blog post.
The poll found that 41 percent of registered Democrats believe that there's a 50 percent chance that an unvaccinated individual will go the hospital for COVID-19, while 21 percent of Republicans and 26 percent of independents believe the same.
Gallup said that under different scenarios and calculations, fewer than 1 percent of both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated COVID-19 cases result in hospital stays. The company cited data from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for its conclusion.
"Democrats are more likely to overstate hospitalization risks for unvaccinated people, which may fuel efforts, often led by Democratic Party leaders, to enforce both mask and vaccine mandates," the pollster wrote. "At the same time, Republicans overstate risks to vaccinated people, leading to very low vaccine efficacy estimates. This may be one of the reasons that so many Republicans have been reluctant to get the COVID-19 vaccine."
Comment: Hardly an overstatement, and likely to be the case:
- CDC director admits they lied about COVID deaths among vaccinated...they are 30 times higher!
- The vaccinated account for 77% of British Covid-19 deaths this summer. This is a FACT.
- Study: Fully vaccinated healthcare workers carry 251 times viral load, pose threat to unvaccinated patients, co-workers
- Stunning data from Israel: 95% of severely ill Covid patients are VACCINATED
Comment: It remains to be seen just what exactly caused the explosion and whether a reasonable motive is uncovered, because, the idea that a significant explosive that severely injured elderly people was, essentially, turf warfare, seems a little dubious; even if it is true that parts of Sweden have suffered from soaring migrant gang violence in recent years, that have apparently included a number of car bombs:
