In a poll conducted in the spring of this year, researchers uncovered that just over 53% of unvaccinated Americans answered that “nothing will change my mind” regarding their decision not to receive the jab. Although the survey was conducted before the announcement and implementation of mandatory vaccination measures, 20% of the U.S. adult population remain unvaccinated. The Mail has the story.
Researchers in Boston, New York and Barcelona surveyed about 6,000 adults, including participants from across the country – roughly 21% of whom said they did not want to receive the Covid vaccine.
More than half of those respondents said “nothing will change my mind” about the vaccine while 13% said that advice from a family member or close friend might help convince them.
9% said that a recommendation from a family doctor would be beneficial.
Conservatives, people living in poverty, and those who worked outside the home were more likely to be against vaccination, the survey data showed.
The survey was conducted in April 2021, before the Delta variant surge in the U.S., vaccine incentive programs, mandates, and other initiatives. Still, about 20% of U.S. adults remain unvaccinated.
More than 220 million Americans have received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine as of November 3rd, representing about two-thirds of the population.
About four in five adults have received at least one dose, as well as almost all seniors at 98%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Younger children – ages five to 11 years old – are now eligible to get vaccinated with Pfizer shots as of this week.
At the same time, more than 20 million Americans have received a booster dose.
While attention is now on boosters and children, the millions of adults who remain unvaccinated are still vulnerable to Covid.
Newly released survey data shed light on the motivations and demographics of those Americans who are opposed to Covid vaccination.

Another scheme that’s dimmer than a 3W bulb.
It won’t even keep those JSO idiots happy either…..
I reckon the bricks will be crap, too. I got fake Lego from family in the DDR back in the day and it was just horrible compared to the real thing.
I have an acquaintance who works for Lego in Denmark, she mentioned that the company had so much money they couldn’t give it away to enough charities for tax purposes, I suggested lowering the prices and she replied they would never consider that.
Seems a modestly higher manufacturing costs is one way to reduce your taxable income.
Let’s not exaggerate here, it’s taking the cost to make a block from 0.01 pence and making it 0.0165p, and the block is sold for 5p
True. The Danes are very avaricious in business. Lego has a wholesome image but is undoubtedly a rapacious profit maker, too.
And as a free market believer, I see nothing wrong with that
This sounds like virtue signalling or greenwash. Perhaps they expect to win over some customers who go for “green” products. However, surely such customers wouldn’t be buying plastic-looking toy bricks anyway and would be getting their kids used to building their own houses out of recycled pallets, plastic straws up and mud!
Never mind Lego bricks. The insane bastards will be trying to fine us to remove all the carbon from house bricks next. I do not joke.
That’s the main thing. We are on the verge of cultural collapse, massive health deterioration, economic ruin, nuclear war. But good to see that Lego has its prirrities right. Try having enthusiasm for Lego when you have been annihilated into a shadow by a nuke or degraded into a cannibal. What are you going to do – get a stiff out of the chest freezer, eat him, and then have fun with everyone assembling some Lego together?
Walkers.
The propaganda must go on!
Sorry chaps, should be wankers of course.
Siece the war we in western Europe have grown used an adventure playground lifestyle. As if that was ever anything durable. In a predatory world do you think the predators are just going to let a tank full of domesticated fattened fish go to waste. It is more about us softened people getting a grip than anything else.
Lego appears to have a death wish.
Fortunately, I have a suitcase full of traditional Lego in my garage – a legacy from my sons which I’ve kept just in case any grandchildren ever appear 🙂
I guess its value is going to rocket in a few years ……
The madness goes on. They’ll also install more machines to replace humans. So thanks to enviro communism, humans will suffer.
Jumping through the Sustainability Hoops. —-Is this really about concern for a planet that is actually doing fine, or is it just more ESG point scoring?
Lego have missed an obvious trick that would save them this extra expense – make the bricks in the traditional manner, melt them down again then remould them in the same factory and voila – every box can now state ‘Lego is made from recycled material’!
Makes as much technological, economic and practical sense as any other Net Zero measure.
Indeed ‘[Lego] tested hundreds and hundreds of substances but said last year it had been unable to find a ‘magic material’ that had a smaller carbon footprint’ should be adopted as the slogan of the entire futile and astronomically expensive Climate Change project.
”Niels B. Christiansen, Chief Executive, insisted the higher raw material costs would not mean higher prices.”
Insisting gravity doesn’t exist in Legoland doesn’t make it so for the World outside.
