Where does it say that almost 50% have refused to be vaccinated? Can you quote that part?
It says that about 60% have been vaccinated, nothing about refusals.
I wonder why 40% have not been vaccinated, when the vaccine is readily available to so many common American citizens?
My daughter is 17 years old. She called a vaccination clinic on a Saturday and inquired about getting the vaccine. Within 4 hours, she was vaccinated. She got it without my presence or signature.
Except that private businesses get to set their own service policies, don't they.
It's not up to the state to do this. A store could require masks up until 2022 simply because it wants to, or it could let you walk mask and vaccine free the second that the federal mandate ends.
If I'm running a business I can require you to be vaccinated, or not. It's my choice.

What I want to know... If almost half know or suspect the vaccine isn’t safe, why are over half dumb enough to take it anyway?
One reason. To show allegiance.

Do the 40%ish have access to info the 60%ish do not?
If so then wouldn’t that be reflected in their seniority, pay grade, clearance level etc?
If it were possible to cross reference these factors with vaccine status, then conclusions could be drawn. Until then it’s all speculation.
Except the source doesn't say anything about them thinking that the vaccine is unsafe, that's something that you said.
Given that a lot of people there would be under 40, a 60% vaccination level would be relatively normal.

Meaning almost 50% don’t give a crap about allegiance? What makes them so special?

I should say "fake allegiance". It's about keep the job.
The other half...., soon or later.

Your description of what your source says is incorrect.
The description says exactly what the source says.
Oh, hold on ... You must be posting from that parallel universe with a different timeline. Sorry, my bad!
The title is misleading and even the Tweet referenced doesn't say they refused to take the vaccine.

Waiting their turn?
I call BS response.
They are allowing 12 y/o children to get the vaccine now.
They dropped masking for non vaccinated people just to get more to take the vaccine.
They are spending millions advertising the vaccine.
If it was in short supply, and wanted by 40% of the population, they wouldn’t go to such lengths.
Fact of the matter is, they have reached a plateau and very few without the vaccine really want it.

There are companies offering up to a thousand dollars signing bonus to new employees that get the vaccine.
Like I said, they have reached a plateau. They can’t pay people to get it.

...... Is there any reason to think this group is not more or less representative of the general public? If anything I’d suspect they have more vaccinations under their belts due to working at a greater proximity to virus than most people. ...
