A survey finds more than 80 per cent of Australians are either 'somewhat' or 'very' likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine — but the number of people 'very unlikely' to get the vaccine has also grown.

Professor Leask said the solution to close the political gap in vaccine attitudes was to have "leaders and influencers" in Australia, "particularly on the right", demonstrate their strong commitment to the vaccine rollout.

"So I'd say the solution is for other people [who accept vaccination] on the right to link it to their freedoms that are important — freedom to travel, for example."According to the survey, almost 80 per cent of Australians consider the vaccines to be "very safe" or "mostly safe". Vaccine researcher Margie Danchin said safety and efficacy were "key elements" in the decision-making process around vaccination.

I say this is misinformation... everyone i have spoken to doesn't want it

Seems obvious lefties are paid by the government and trust them. The right are independent of the govt tit and succeed despite them . Way more independence of thought.

. The underlying premise of these articles is that those not wanting the vaccine are merely misguided & need to be convinced more effectively. I would counter that by identifying the majority of Aussies don't need convincing at all because they will believe anything govt says. .

It was amusing reading the comments on this which backs the data presented in this poll unequivocally over my morning coffee.

No government just tell you that, it's not fact

how many of doctors and researchers have read anything even mildly critical of 'covid' and vaccination? or the medical system in general? They are all dogmatists.

Moot point as Europe and Britain have blocked our supply. Best we just bring those Australians home and not let anyone else in (Especially Hellsingers for July conference) until vaccine has been rolled out. Probably 2026!

Utter bullsht

It is a lie.

What happened to ABC TV channels? No signal. Sydney
