New Poll Conducted for Becker News: The Overwhelming Majority of Democrats Don't Believe in 'Natural Immunity'
The Democratic Party is the real party of "science deniers."
Rasmussen Reports recently conducted a nationwide survey with questions on vaccinated immunity and natural immunity after a recommendation by Becker News.
"I wonder if you polled Democratic (and R, I) voters, how many would call Natural Immunity a myth?" I asked. "How many would say it is false you can get Natural Immunity from a Prior Infection?"
Rasmussen Reports was benevolent enough to ask these timely questions in a survey and release the crosstabs to Becker News before official publication. The results? Fascinating.
"Those who have previously been infected with COVID-19 acquire natural immunity, providing 'robust protection against COVID-19 for at least six to eight months after infection,' according to the World Health Organization," Rasmussen states in its analysis of the results. "The same is true of vaccines. However, most Democrats (61%) believe vaccines are more effective than natural immunity in protecting against COVID-19, while just 17% think natural immunity offers more protection, and only 13% correctly believe vaccines and natural immunity are equally effective."
The results for Republicans and Independents were much more in line with scientific reality.
