A new @APPCPenn survey asked people who said they're not likely to get vaccinated to give their reasons why.

Watching the talk on vaccine skepticism is frustrating (for many reasons), but mainly because the assumptions on who isn’t getting vaccinated is off

When reporters interview COVID patients in hospitals who say they regret not getting the vaccine, they should ask them where they get their news. Then the reporter should ask if they still trust that source. This would be a good topic for a survey as well. pic.twitter.com/UfIscXQWgO
