Republicans COVID vaccine acceptance up 7% after party endorsements
Republicans intended COVID-19 vaccine uptake rose 7% after watching and reading endorsements from elite Republican leaders versus those from Democrat leaders, according to a study published yesterday in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers surveyed 1,480 self-identified Republicans from Mar 17 to 24, splitting them into three groups. One group watched a 2-minute vaccine endorsement speech by former President Donald Trump and then read an essay on how Republicans contributed to vaccine development and distribution; another experienced a similar intervention, except with Democrats such as President Joe Biden. The control group received information on an unrelated topic (neck ties).
