But 71% Of Unvaccinated Americans Think It's Proof Vaccines Don’t Work: Study

Vaccine hesitancy continues as the rollout of the COVID booster shots begins, according to a new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

According to the study, 71% of unvaccinated Americans say that the booster shot is proof that the COVID vaccines don’t work, while nearly 80% of vaccinated people said they see the booster shots as a good sign. The survey included 1,519 randomly selected adults and took place Sept. 13-22.

The booster shot has been recommended by the Food and Drug Administration for people 65 and older and those individuals at high risk of contracting the virus. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky also authorized the booster dose for those in high-risk jobs and institution settings.
