Many front-line workers refuse Covid vaccines as distribution

I saw the thread about the bruising home staff in OH refusing the vaccine, but this article shows even more are saying no.

I thought it was encouraging, especially in places like New York & California.


"A survey of 2,053 New York City firefighters found that more than half said they would refuse the Covid-19 vaccine when it became available to them, according to a poll released by the Uniformed Firefighters Association this month.

Some of those firefighters may overlap with those who have already contracted the coronavirus and don’t believe they need to get the inoculation, Andy Ansbro, the union president, said.

"As a union we are encouraging our members to get the vaccine, but we are defending their right to make that choice," Ansbro said. "I personally feel this vaccine is safe, I've done my own research, I will be getting the vaccine and I will be encouraging other members to do so. In the end, it is their own personal choice."
