Re: “Because the two events are DEPENDENT, according to the wording in the article. Only 60% of Repubs got an initial vaccination. And OF that 60% only 32% got the boost. So the percent of ALL Republicans who are vaccinated + 1 time boosted is only 32% of the 60%. Put conversely, only 19.2% of Repubs are both initially vaccinated AND single boosted.”If I understand, you're saying just 32% of the 60% of Republicans who got the initial shot also got the booster, making 19.2% in all. I'm not seeing that. The survey says 63% of Republicans and 91% of Democrats responded affirmatively to the survey question "Have you personally received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, or not?"

A breakdown of the 63% of Republicans shows it to be comprised of 32% who received both the initial shot and the booster and 31% who are vaccinated with no booster. Together, they make up the 63%.

Same for the Democrats except that they're 62% boosted, 29% not boosted, making 91% total.

Nothing meaningful comes from multiplying the 63% of Republicans who were initially vaccinated OR both initially vaccinated and boosted ... by the 32% who were vaccinated AND boosted. You say "And OF that 60% only 32% got the boost" while it's actually that of the 100% of Republicans surveyed, 32% got the boost.

The chart below might make it clearer. And, yes, the Republicans are outpacing the Democrats in shying away from vaccines and boosters - which I think was your broader point. But it's not as extreme as you suggested.

Personally, I think the whole thing is a joke. Pollsters lie. This survey was performed for the CDC to give them the result they wanted and the story was reported by the Washington Post. You aren't going to get a whole lot of truth from THAT!

" Why are you multiplying the two numbers to get 19.2%???"

Because the two events are DEPENDENT, according to the wording in the article. Only 60% of Repubs got an initial vaccination. And OF that 60% only 32% got the boost. So the percent of ALL Republicans who are vaccinated + 1 time boosted is only 32% of the 60%. Put conversely, only 19.2% of Repubs are both initially vaccinated AND single boosted.

The follow on question on "intention" to get an *additional* boost is especially telling...almost as many as who got the 1st boost. Dems seem kind of addicted to boosts.

Best evidence says that each additional boost adds to the injury and, presumably, risk of death. So, if you keep getting boosted twice a year, you will eventually run out of "luck".

Now, it remains to be proven that damage compounds on damage, but there are some decent reasons to suspect that.
