Quote of the Day
“Nearly half of Republican men — 49% — said in an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey, conducted March 3-8, that they won't choose to be vaccinated when they're allowed. 41% of all Republicans said the same. By contrast, 6% of Democratic men said they wouldn't get the shot.”
Polling and public officials are increasingly sounding the alarm about one group of Americans that remains stubbornly resistant to the idea of receiving a coronavirus vaccine: Republicans.
